Product Information

  • Easily convert proprietary RS-232/485 protocols
    Convert RS-232/485 Request/Response or Produce/Consume protocol in just a few minutes. Use the drag-and-drop frame builder to build frames, insert/extract data, and handle complex variable frames.
  • Connect up to 32 Modbus RTU Servers (slaves)
    Easily handles demanding applications thanks to support for up to 32 servers, 150 Modbus commands, a selectable 3 ms serial update rate, a graphical transaction builder, controller/PLC triggers and inter-node data exchange.
  • Transfer up to 1500 bytes to and from the controller (PLC)
    Transfer up to 1500 bytes (network dependent) in each direction (3000 bytes total) via dual 10/100 Mbit full duplex RJ45 ports with an integrated switch for daisy-chaining.
  • Selectable Industrial Ethernet network
    Cover multiple protocols with a single Communicator. Supports EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, Modbus TCP, and PROFINET. Download firmware for your desired protocols from the product webpage and upload it via the Communicator’s interface.
  • Instant data transfer
    The Communicator transfers data instantly between networks, with processing time so low you don’t even need to count it, as it’s in line with network jitter. Just add the cycle times of both networks to get the total transfer time.
  • Configure via web interface over Ethernet
    With a graphical and responsive web interface, configuration is a breeze. In addition, there’s no software to install, and the dedicated Ethernet configuration port makes it easy to get started.
  • Diagnostics and support
    The user interface shows connection status, allowing you to analyse serial traffic and monitor data going through the gateway. Monitor and control nodes via the Live List and Data Exchange Control features. Our global support team is ready to help if needed.
  • Drop-in replacement
    Already using a Communicator Classic? Don’t worry, with legacy mode, you can import your current serial configuration and continue using the same configuration in your controller/PLC.
  • Secure and segment networks
    Secure boot blocks malware, while a security switch locks configurations to prevent unauthorised changes. Network segmentation is inherent in the design, as each network is run separately, with only configured data transferred between networks.
  • Built for factory floors
    The Gateway is made with industrial-grade components, verified to meet industry standards, and backed by a 5-year warranty. Its slim form factor, front-facing ports, and cable tie make DIN-rail installation easy.
