Softing mbGate DP

Product Code: GCA-EN-024806

Softing mbGate DP is Modbus TCP server to PROFIBUS DP Master

Softing mbGate DP enables a simple connection of PROFIBUS DP Slave devices to Modbus control systems via internal I/O mapping

With Softing mbGate DP it is possible to integrate one PROFIBUS DP segment into Modbus TCP control systems. It acts as Modbus TCP Server and PROFIBUS DP Master. With our gateways the engineering costs can be reduced since it re-uses existing PROFIBUS DP segment without the requiring modification. It enables simple configuration, parameterization and plant asset management using standard industry tools and is compatible with products of leading PLC Manufacturers.

Configuration, Parameterization and Plant Asset Management Using Standard Industry Tools

• Supports major Modbus engineering tools such as Schneider Unity Pro or Siemens TIA Portal
• Included CommDTM allowing use in FDT/DTM frame applications
• EDD-based device parametrization using Siemens Simatic PDM

Direct Connectivity to PROFIBUS Segments

• Single access point to PROFIBUS DP segment from Modbus TCP networks
• Acting as Modbus TCP Server and PROFIBUS DP Master
• Support of one PROFIBUS DP segment

Key Component for Transition to State-of-the-Art Technology

• Re-use of existing PROFIBUS DP segment without requiring modification
• Easy integration into PLC programming software

MODBUS/TCP Redundancy

• Supports the use of two redundant PLCs and two redundant gateways
• Easily enabled via licensing
• Full control of redundant operation mode via engineering and PLC
