Advantages

Integrate your Modbus-TCP network to Fieldbus/Industrial Ethernet;
With the powerful Modbus-TCP X-gateways, you can integrate a Modbus-TCP network to another controlling network — quickly and easily without the need for any programming;

Fast, powerful and cost saving

The X-gateway acts as translator between a Modbus-TCP network and another industrial network. The primary focus is the fast transfer of cyclic I/O data between Modbus-TCP and the other chosen network. With the Modbus-TCP Master/Client functionality, the X-gateway can eliminate the need for a Modbus-TCP PLC Client/Master on the Modbus-TCP side and thus help reduce infrastructure costs.

All new enhanced design for streamlined connectivity

The new X-gateway design meets the industrial demands for functionality, robustness, size, durability and most importantly ease of use. It offers many benefits for the user such as easier cable connection and backplane stacking possibilities.

Handy SD memory card slot saves time and know how

The new X-gateway design includes an SD memory card slot for fast and easy backup, configuration and if necessary for an "easy module replacement" which saves crucial time and resources.

Easy visual web-based configuration

Configuration is handled through a web interface which is accessed by simply connecting the gateway to a computer via a regular Ethernet cable. No programming skills are required which means that the network and its devices will be up and running in no time.

Industries

Typical applications;
Typical applications are Schneider Electric, ABB PLC systems running Modbus-TCP which require integration into other PLC systems from other leading PLC vendors such as Rockwell, Siemens, Mitsubishi, Beckhoff etc. Modbus-TCP is often very popular within process automation, measurement and with sensor and actuators. It fits with all types of energy distribution and control applications including renewable energy.
