epGatePN : Ethernet IP -> PROFINET Gateway

Ethernet IP Adapter to PROFINET Controller Gateway

Integration of PROFINET I/O Devices through mapping into Ethernet IP Control systems

 

The epGate PN implements a gateway between an EtherNet/IP scanner (e.g. a Rockwell PLC) and up to 32 PROFINET devices. While the gateway’s upper RJ45 socket connects to the EtherNet/IP network as a so-called Adapter (slave), the gateway acts as a PROFINET controller (master) through its lower RJ45 socket. This allows for integration of PROFINET devices and subsystems into EtherNet/IP applications. The Communication Configuration Tool that comes with epGate PN assists in defining the PROFINET configuration and provides ready to use symbolic mapping information for the EtheNet/IP PLC’s engineering software. This way the user is relieved from the error-prone task of defining data for both sides of the gateway individually.

Similar Solutions:
epGate DP: Integrate PROFIBUS DP segments into ethernet/IP systems
epGate PA: Integrate up to 4 PROFIBUS PA segments into ethernet/IP systems
epGate PB: Integrate up to 2 PROFIBUS PA segments & 1 PROFIBUS DP segment into ethernet/IP systems

Overview

Simple Integration Through Add-On Instructions

  • Data access of PLC program to PROFINET Devices without requiring detailed PROFINET knowledge
  • Mapping between the two protocols generated by provided tools
  • Usage of Add-On Instructions (AOI), containing detailed PROFINET data type definitions
  • Transparent communication overcoming protocol differences

Time Saving Configuration Creation and Verification

  • Configuration tool for online access to PROFINET Devices via the network
  • Easy assignment of device properties
  • Early identification of discrepancies between offline configuration and real situation

Built-In Web Server For Monitoring And Interaction

  • Status information about both protocols
  • Monitoring of mapping as well as of exchanged data
  • Individual modification of FG-260 settings, including address information
  • Download and upload of all FG-260 configuration information using web server

Different Use Cases are addressed

  • Direct access from Ethernet/IP Scanner in the PLC to PROFINET field devices
  • Access to machines with internal PROFINET network by deploying I-Device capabilities

FG-200 HSE/FF Gateway

Modbus TCP/FF HSE to FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 Gateway

Integration of up to 4 FF H1 segments into control systems via Modbus TCP or FOUNDATION Fieldbus HSE

FF Network Integration via Modbus Including Redundancy

With Softing’s FG-200FF, you can easily integrate up to four FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus (FF) H1 links into control systems supporting Modbus. The Softing FG-200FF provides redundancy and is suitable for use in ATEX zone. This device features fast access to process data, while making use of Fiedbus Foundation (FF) advantages like reduced cabling, central field device parameterization, comprehensive diagnostics, or intrinsically safe device segments. The Fieldbus foundation gateway (FG-200FF) is fully compatible with the R. STAHL bus-Carrier Series 9419 and Fieldbus Power Supply Series 9412 products for a very easy commissioning.

Overview

Easy Commissioning with the FG-200FF

  • Optional support of R. STAHL bus-Carrier Series 9419 and Fieldbus Power Supply 9412 products (cabling reduced to a minimum)
  • Modbus data import to web server reducing mapping efforts

Easy Asset Management thanks to the FG-200FF

  • Visitor mode avoiding interference with network behavior
  • Enabling asset management systems (e.g. Emerson’s AMS) and Field Device Tool (FDT) frame applications (e.g. SMART VISION, FieldMate, Field Device Manager, FieldCare, or PACTware)

The FG-200FF gateway makes easy the device redundancy

Functionality Comments
Host Interface ✔
Device Interface ✔
Engineering ✔ Existing projects can be downloaded without any changes
Mechanical Dimensions ✔ Smaller in each dimension: Same cabinet can be used
Bus Power Supply ❍ 10 mA required per Link (same as for all devices and most host systems)
FISCO Power Supplies with separate host interface must provide 10 mA on host side
Cabling ✖ Different positions, different connectors: Cables have to be modified
Redundancy Management ✖ FG-100/FG-110 and FG-200 cannot cooperate as redundant pair: No replacement of FG-110 by FG-200 in run possible. Complete redundant pair of Linking Devices has to be replaced at same time.
