Softing pnGate PB

Product Code: GCA-AN-024608

pnGate PB PROFINET to PROFIBUS DP/PA Master Gateway

Direct Integration of PROFIBUS DP and PA Segments into PROFINET Control Systems With pnGate PB it is possible to integrate up to 2 PROFIBUS PA segments and 1 PROFIBUS DP segment into PROFINET systems using virtual mapping. Simple and transparent access to PROFIBUS PA devices through virtual mapping as a modular PROFINET device. With pnGate PB the engineering costs can be reduced since it re-uses existing power conditioners in technology upgrade projects. Compatible with common PROFINET engineering systems. It provides S2 redundancy and enables configuration, parameterization and plant asset management using standard industry tools. Device parameterization via FDT or Simatic PDM.
