Multifunctional gateways for process control, Plant Asset Management and parameterization of field devices
Softings gateways pnGate PA, pnGate PB and mbGate PA
Softings Gateways pnGate PA, pnGate PB and mbGate PA directly integrate PROFIBUS PA and DP devices into PROFINET or Modbus/TCP networks without intermediate PROFIBUS DP segments. A user-friendly interface, easy integration into common engineering tools and the supported redundancy protocols address the requirements of process automation. In this way, users modernize and extend their existing installations cost-effectively, with little cabling and save space in the control cabinet.
For device configuration, parameterization and Plant Asset Management tasks the gateways support major PROFINET and Modbus engineering systems like Siemens TIA Portal and Schneider Unity Pro. They provide access to FDT / DTM frame applications via an integrated CommDTM and offer EDD-based device configuration with Siemens Simatic PDM.
