Industrial Ethernet Guide - World Market For Industrial Ethernet
The following is part of A Comprehensible Guide to Industrial Ethernet by Wilfried Voss.A report, "The World Market for Industrial Ethernet," by the independent UK-based research organization, IMS Research (now part of HIS Inc.), contained data about the total quantity of installed Ethernet nodes.The analyses were divided into regions, product groups, and industries. According to the study, EtherNet/IP had the [...]
MODBUS TCP SERVER To PROFIBUS PA Master Gateway
Softing Industrial recently released version 1.20 of its Modbus to PROFIBUS gateways, supplementing redundancy for demanding process control applications and providing XML import for integration into the Schneider Electric engineering systems.Softing's Modbus to PROFIBUS Gateways mbGate PA, mbGate PB, and mbGate DP allow the immediate integration of PROFIBUS PA and DP sections into existing Modbus/TCP systems. The gateways [...]
SAE J1939 (CAN Bus) to Modbus, PROFINET, EtherNet-IP Gateways Connect PLCs To Vehicle Engines
Moxa's MGate 5118 industrial protocol gateways support the SAE J1939 protocol, which uses the CAN Bus (Controller Area Network) technology as a hardware layer. SAE J1939 is used to perform communication and diagnostics between vehicle components, diesel engine generators, and compression engines, and it is suitable for the heavy-duty truck industry and backup power systems. It is now customary [...]
Gateway Device Connects Ethernet/IP Host Controllers To SAE J1939 Networks
Aparian, headquartered in Irvine, CA, has introduced their J1939 Router, a gateway device connecting Ethernet/IP host controllers to SAE J1939 vehicle networks. The configurable SAE J1939 gateway provides an EtherNet/IP port to communicate with the Logix controller from Rockwell. The product enables the host controller to not only receive multiple PGNs (Parameter Group Numbers) from J1939 devices, but also operates as multiple [...]
Ruggedized Raspberry Pi Platform For IIoT Applications Supports ProfiNet, Ethernet/IP, And EtherCAT
The netPI Edge Gateway is a ruggedized Raspberry Pi platform that includes features specifically intended for the industrial manufacturing environment. Chief among these are Real Time Ethernet (RTE) ports supporting PROFINET, EtherNet/IP or EtherCAT, making it suitable for Cloud, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0 projects.The netPI RTE 3 employs a secure infrastructure that conforms [...]
1-port CAN-J1939 to Modbus, PROFINET, And EtherNet/IP Gateway
The MGate 5118 device by Moxa converts SAE J1939 messages (PGN = Parameter Group Number) to several other protocols such as Modbus-TCP, Profinet, and EthernetIP. A conversion to Modbus-RTU is also possible.A diesel engine might have a great number of J1939 Parameter Group Number (PGN) commands, which, depending on the diesel engine, the engineer may need to key [...]
EtherCAT, PROFINET, Sercos, Ethernet/IP Gateway Bridges Two Real-Time Ethernet Networks
Hilscher's netTAP 151 is a four-port device that exchanges input/output (I/O) data between different industrial Ethernet networks by acting as a protocol converter. The netTAP 151 gateway transmits I/O data bidirectionally between any two industrial Real-Time Ethernet networks. It is the ideal solution for installations with heterogenous networks or such of the same kind to exchange data [...]
