Ethernet/IP to PROFIBUS DP Master Gateway

Simple connection of PROFIBUS DP Slave Devices to Ethernet/IP Control Systems via Internal I/O Mapping

With epGate DP it is possible to integrate one PROFIBUS DP segment into Ethernet/IP control systems. With epGate DP the engineering costs can be reduced since it re-uses existing PROFIBUS DP segment without the requiring modification. It enables configuration, parameterization and plant asset management using standard industry tools.
