PROFINET to PROFIBUS DP Master Gateway

Simple connection of PROFIBUS DP Slave Devices to PROFINET Control Systems via Internal I/O Mapping

With pnGate DP it is possible to integrate one PROFIBUS DP segment into PROFINET control systems using virtual mapping. With pnGate DP the engineering costs can be reduced since it re-uses existing PROFIBUS DP segment without the requiring modification. It provides S2 redundancy and enables configuration, parameterization and plant asset management using standard industry tools.
