Woodhead GATEway is more than a standard tunnelling gateway! It is the first hardware platform that allows simultaneous communication between industrial devices (PLC, SCADA etc.) using up to 20 different Ethernet, Profibus and Serial protocols.  Use the GATEway in the following bridging scenarios:

• Multi-Ethernet to Multi-Ethernet Bridge

• Profibus Bridge (S7 to MPI to DP to FDL S5)

• Multi-Ethernet to Serial

• Multi-Profibus to Multi-Ethernet

• Multi-Profibus to Serial

• More

The benefits of the GATEway include:

• Woodhead gateway concept is a configurable stand-alone Smart Ethernet TCP/IP, Serial and Profibus gateway which allows controllers to communicate and interoperate all together at the same time.

• More than just a ONE-to-One standard GATEway: Multi-networks combination

• Intelligent Configurable Gateway with protocols (NOT TUNNELING) (Serial Master and slave, Ethernet Client and Server, Profibus)

• Ethernet TCP/IP Multi-protocols at the same time

• Unsolicited data supported: PLCs may read/write in the GATEway Data-Base.

• Graphical configuration under Windows

• Automatic Profibus DP devices network detection.

• No programming, just configuration.

• Multi-configuration files manager.

• Diagnostic/Monitoring PC software through TCP/IP : Network, PLCs, Internal GATEway database.

• Communication status monitoring.

• Download or upload configuration through TCP/IP.

• ALL protocols available without additional cost.

Protocols Supported:
