UNIGATE® CL-EtherCAT
Protocol Converter/Gateway from serial interface to EtherCAT
The Deutschmann UNIGATE® Gateway connects devices, such as automation components and EtherCAT networks via their serial interface. UNIGATE® takes on the task of a Protocol converter and converts the different interfaces. The protocol of the terminal-unit is converted in the UNIGATE® via a Script. This Script is generated with the free PC-tool Protocol Developer and it is optimally adapted to the end product and the requirements of the EtherCAT-Master. Changes in the firmware of the terminal-unit are not necessary.
Application
Deutschmann UNIGATE® EtherCAT is ideal for the use with terminal-units that do not have their own EtherCAT-interface. The standard DIN-rail version features the protection type IP24.
Scope of functions
The Deutschmann UNIGATE® Gateway uses the complete data capacity of EtherCAT, that is 1486 byte and supports all speeds. The complete performance range of a EtherCAT is supported by UNIGATE®. For the EtherCAT-connection two RJ45- connector is provided, the connection of the serial side is made through screw-plug-connector. A large number of diagnosis LEDs signal the state of the device on the EtherCAT-side as well as on the serial side.
The special advantage of the UNIGATE® CL-series is the Script-ability. Thus any changes in the firmware of the terminal-unit are not necessary. Due to the Script the user has all liberties and possibility, from a simple transparent data transfer over the generation of complex protocols up to editing data.
Your advantage
With Deutschmann UNIGATE® CL-modules you bring existing components (also older devices) into modern networks. As device manufacturer you save the development of the interface based on the corresponding Fieldbus or Ethernet. Due to the continuity of the Deutschmann UNIGATE® CL-series Scripts that have been generated once can be used practically without changes for other types of the UNIGATE® CL-series based on other Fieldbuses and Ethernet. The firmware adaptation of your own terminal-units becomes unnecessary.
Hotline and Support
A team of qualified specialists will assist you with the selection of the device, start-up, configuration and the generation of the Script. This offer is completed by trainings to the different subject areas.
