EtherNet\/IP\u00a0<\/sup>to Siemens\u00a0<\/sup>Industrial Ethernet Communication Gateway<\/h2>\nProSoft Technology\u2019s EtherNet\/IP\u2122 to Siemens\u00ae Industrial Ethernet\u00a0communication gateway allows high-speed bi-directional data transfers\u00a0between Rockwell Automation\u00ae PACs and Siemens\u00ae S7 PACs. Two\u00a0separate Ethernet ports allow each protocol to reside on separate\u00a0subnets, allowing you to pass data between the two subnets without\u00a0changing each device\u2019s IP address.<\/p>\n
In addition, the gateway includes an embedded EDS Add-On Profile,\u00a0allowing for simplified integration and reduced commissioning time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n
Features and Benefits<\/h2>\n\n- Two separate Ethernet ports allow each protocol to reside on separate subnets. This allows you to pass data between the two subnets without changing each device\u2019s IP address to be on the same subnet.<\/li>\n
- Data prioritization: Multiple I\/O connections allow you to set RPIs for status and\/or control data.<\/li>\n
- Includes an embedded EDS Add-On Profile, allowing for simplified integration and reduced commissioning time.<\/li>\n
- Gateway includes a SD card slot (SD card optional) for storing configuration files. This can be used for disaster recovery.<\/li>\n
- Secure module configuration via module switch (v1.04 and greater).<\/li>\n
- Up to 10,000 16-bit registers can be used to exchange large amounts of data<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
