Flexibility through modularity
Various Fieldbuses and Industrial Ethernet standards have taken over in the automation industry. The challenge of connecting these incompatible communication systems remains a big one.
UNIGATE CX DINrail modules have been developed precisely for this purpose. The units combine various Fieldbus and Industrial Ethernet interfaces.
Quasi-uniting two UNIGATE CL in a modular setup, UNIGATE CXs are available for any Fieldbus/Ethernet combination. Currently, there are about 120 variants available.
Due to the constant development of new CL modules, for example in the Industrial Ethernet field, the numbers of available options are still rising.
With the UNIGATE CX modules from Deutschmann, you bring existing components into modern networks. As a device manufacturer, you save the self-development of the respective Fieldbus or Ethernet-based interfaces. The consistency of the Deutschmann UNIGATE CX series allows once generated configurations and scripts to be used for other Fieldbus and Ethernet-based versions.
