The X-gateways can connect PROFIBUS and CANopen to PROFINET IRT Fiber Optics, and ControlNet, EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet to PROFINET IRT with copper cabling.

Interfaces are available for Profibus, PROFINET, DeviceNet, CANopen and EtherCAT.

SmartPanel HMIs support Ethernet, MPI/Profibus-DP, ProfiNet, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, CANopen, EtherCAT and BACnet/IP.

The gateway enables communication between any industrial device with a CAN interface and industrial networks such as Profibus, Profinet, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT or CANopen.

UNIGATE IC fieldbus interfaces now include a gateway for the building automation protocol BACnet/IP.

Gateways for EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, DeviceNet, CANopen and PROFIBUS provide a flexible in-the-cabinet system for distributed I/O.

The netTAP 50 features ten possible protocol conversions that include PROFIBUS-DP, DeviceNet, CANopen, CC-Link, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP/RTU and ASCII.

Encoders have IP66 protection on the shaft side, IP67 on the housing side, and a robust housing which withstands even aggressive detergents.

The Anybus X-gateway Profibus Slave to DeviceNet Scanner is a configurable stand-alone gateway that allows plant-floor devices on the Profibus network to communicate with the devices on the DeviceNet network. Typical applications are installations with mixed automation suppliers (i.e. Siemens and Rockwell); such as automobile manufacturing plants where Profibus based segments need to be integrated into DeviceNet based control applications.

The Anybus X-gateway DeviceNet Adapter to Profibus Master is a configurable stand-alone gateway that allows plant-floor devices on the Profibus network to communicate with the devices on the DeviceNet network. Typical applications are installations with mixed automation suppliers (i.e. Siemens and Rockwell); such as automobile manufacturing plants where DeviceNet based segments need to be integrated into Profibus based control applications.

Lenze-AC Tech announces the release of EtherNet/IP as an optional communication protocol for the SMVector Drive.

CANOpen Gateway connects existing or new CANOpen devices for control and monitoring over IEC 61850, IEC 104, IEC 101, DNP3 and other protocols.

ODVA DeviceNet cable is available in ODVA-compliant thick (600V-rated), which exceeds CL2 and CL3 per NEC 725.61; thin (300V-rated); and special PLTC thin, designed with 22AWG data pair and PLTC-rated (Power Limited Tray Cable), which exceeds CL2 and CL3 per NEC 725.61.

EL67xx EtherCAT master and slave terminals provide a direct interface to EtherCAT I/O nodes for all Profibus (EL6731), DeviceNet (EL6752) and CANopen (EL6751) devices. The terminals channel each fieldbus signal type through the EtherCAT protocol with full availability of the respective network’s features and functions.

ProtoCessors daughter cards that enable OEMs to interface legacy devices to modern open protocol networks without extensive board redesign. Protocols available include Allen Bradley EtherNet/IP, BACnet IP, BACnet MSTP, Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, Metasys N2, DNP3, LonWorks and a wide variety of legacy and proprietary protocols.

BL20 xStart motor starter modules allow 3-phase motor control to be connected to the same rack as standard I/O. BL20 xStart motor starter modules are mounted directly next to other BL20 modules, and are controlled by the same gateway. This allows the motors to be controlled via DeviceNet, PROFIBUS-DP or CANopen fieldbus protocols.

The X20 and X67 bus controllers can be used as standard I/O components on DeviceNet, Profibus DP, CANopen and ETHERNET Powerlink. The master can be any PLC system from any manufacturer.
