IIoT Gateway connecting to legacy networks, enabling Industry 4.0 connectivity
Connection of PROFIBUS and HART devices to HART IP, OPC UA, MQTT and FDT/DTM.
smartLink HW-DP provides PLC independent access to PROFIBUS DP Networks. It enables Plant Asset Management for field devices using standard industry tools and allows using HART IP as a standardized format. smartLink HW-DP is a compact tool that can be integrated without interfering with the operation of existing installations. Thus, it enables Industry 4.0 connectivity for new and existing PROFIBUS DP networks.
Overview
Configuration, Parameterization and Plant Asset Management Using Standard Industry Tools
- Independent of configuration tools
