The gateway is used to connect the excom

system to a higher-level Ethernet Fieldbus

with the help of the Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP

and PROFINET protocols. The connection to

the Fieldbus is created via a standard RJ45

male connector with at least CAT5e cable

quality. A ring topology in accordance with

DLR or MRP can be implemented using the

built-in switch.

The gateway supports 10/100 Mbps, full/half

duplex, autonegotiation and autocrossing.

With autocrossing switched off, the above assignment must be followed.

A GSDML and EDS file containing all configuration files and parameter sets is available for

system configuration. When connected to suitable host systems, you can change the system configuration during operation.

The gateway provides the entire range of diagnostic functions, including port-related diagnostics, in accordance with the Ethernet protocols. In addition, manufacturer-specific error codes are generated. They include HART

communication errors, power supply errors,

planning errors as well as information on simulators, internal communication, redundancy

toggle, etc.
