Advantech Fieldbus Gateway Provides an Instant Protocol Conversion Solution for Legacy Devices

Advantech, a leading supplier of industrial communication solutions, launched the new Fieldbus Gateway EKI-1242 series.

The Fieldbus gateways are designed for reliable protocol extensibility and seamless integration with

existing network devices. The EKI-1242 series support widely used industrial protocols such as

PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and EtherCAT for field device integration. They help plant managers create a

seamless interconnection between industrial protocols, making the usage of existing field devices more

flexible. Also, they efficiently connect field devices to Ethernet network infrastructure, providing redundant

and management functions for central management.

By implementing Advantech’s Fieldbus solution, traditional factories can be transformed into intelligent

green plants. With the features of integration, flexibility, and connectivity, Advantech Fieldbus gateways

and WebAccess/NMS and WebAccess/SCADA bring seamless conversion between individual industrial

protocols and allow the connection of devices with different protocols for diagnosis, analysis, and

management.
