PROFIBUS to DeviceNet
The BridgeWay Profibus to DeviceNet Gateway provides connectivity between a Profi bus-DP network and a DeviceNet network. This compact, DIN rail mountable device solves a mission-critical problem by connecting existing or newly installed DeviceNet networks to Profi bus DP-Master PLCs, Scanners, HMIs or DCSs. AB7605 is the proven choice to monitor and control devices on a DeviceNet network from any Profi bus-DP Master.
The gateway operates as a Profibus-DP Slave, allowing a Profibus-DP Master to read and/or write data from/to up to 63 DeviceNet Slave devices. The DeviceNet side of the gateway is a full DeviceNet Master and I/O scanner, complete with the Automatic Device Replacement (ADR) feature. ADR allows the gateway to automatically restore configuration data to a device, once a failed device has been replaced on the DeviceNet network. This eliminates the additional cost of PLC-based DeviceNet scanners, and adds connectivity to your DeviceNet networks throughout the plant. The AB7605 can also operate as a DeviceNet Slave.
Configuration of the gateway is easy with Rockwell Software’s RSNetWorx™ for DeviceNet or NetTool-DN-D (available from Pyramid Solutions). Configuration consists of building a scan list of the target devices on your DeviceNet network. This creates the input/output data that will be mapped into Profi bus-DP I/O data.
