EtherCAT gateways enable seamless communication between industrial devices that use different communication protocols.
EtherCAT gateways is designed specifically for the integration and extension of other reliable fieldbus protocols as well as seamless integration with existing network equipment. It offers a viable solution for effectively converting data in devices that use various protocols.
Upgrading or Retro-fit existing devices
Avoid unnecessary investment by prolonging the life of a well performing serial/Ethernet/CAN-based device. By using the ICP DAS EtherCAT gateway, you can connect it to any fieldbus or Industrial Ethernet network.
Highly cost-eff ective connection solution
With just one ICP DAS EtherCAT gateway, you can connect up to many nodes/devices in a multi-drop scenario. This allows for a very inexpensive fieldbus/Ethernet connection for your devices.
Avoid hardware or software changes
The ICP DAS EtherCAT Gateway connects your device as is not hardware or software changes are required for your connected device. All data/protocol conversion is made and mapped to the network from inside the ICP DAS EtherCAT Gateway.
Easily convert your devices to another protocol
The flexibility of the ICP DAS EtherCAT Gateway means that you can convert almost every protocol — Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, CAN-based. The Communicator requires no PLC function blocks or any programming. Just connect, configure and you're done.
