Ethernet gateway simplifies I/O path from relay and PLC
PLC-Interface Ethernet gateway streamlines connectivity by combining relays and communications in one modular system. It plugs into a bank of relays, and can then be connected to a PLC with one Ethernet cable. This Ethernet connection allows faster and cleaner integration, while saving space and reducing wiring. This remote relay system supports simple applications with up to 56 I/O channels, including digital and analog inputs and outputs. Its individual channels can be configured to each application's need for flexibility.
PLC-Interface supports a range of protocols, approvals and certifications. They includes EtherNet/IP, Profinet Class C and Modbus/TCP, along with S2 redundancy to ensure reliable performance across industrial networks. The gateway is compatible with common controller software for intuitive network integration. Firmware updates ensure continuous extension of functions and optimum performance.
Because it’s also part of the PLC-Interface relay family, it’s easy to integrate into existing systems. This ecosystem features a range of functions from simple coupling relays to relay modules with integrated circuit breakers. Their flexibility and compatibility support a future-proof automation strategy for simple applications.
