Fieldbus repeaters and serial interface converters
Using fieldbus repeaters for PROFIBUS and RS-485 bus systems, you can extend your network over a wide area regardless of the data rate. Even the number of devices can be extended through segmentation with repeaters. You can increase the range, transmit without EMI, and extend and distribute channels as required. The modular concept supports any combination of copper and FO channels. Using the serial interface converters, serial interfaces such as RS-232, RS-485, RS-422, and TTY can be converted from and to these formats in order to connect different devices.
Device servers and gateways – from RS-232 to Ethernet
Use device servers to convert serial interfaces such as RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 to other standards, such as Ethernet (RJ45), with protocol transparency. Gateways and protocol converters convert various fieldbus and Ethernet protocols (e.g., PROFIBUS to PROFINET), thus enabling the easy integration of legacy serial devices and fieldbuses into modern Ethernet networks.
Remote terminal unit (RTU)
The smartRTU is a modular remote terminal solution for various fields of application around power grids. The RTU allows the consistent processing and provision of status and event time information. The predefined functions and intuitive parameterization via the web interface enable easy operation, even for users without any previous programming knowledge.
Media converters
FO media converters for Ethernet and fieldbus enable you to convert your copper interfaces to interference-free fiber optics without the need for complex surge protection, shielding, and equipotential bonding measures.
Industrial Wireless: From IWLAN, through Wireless IO, right through to LoRaWAN
Industrial Wireless enables secure and reliable wireless connections for industrial applications. Depending on requirements, use IWLAN or Bluetooth for real-time communication, NearFi for close-proximity applications, or LoRaWAN and Trusted Wireless for great distances. Our wireless solutions are comprised of access points and clients, as well as suitable antennas and cables.
Industrial Ethernet switches – Industrial-strength Unmanaged and Managed Switches
Our Industrial Ethernet Switch portfolio comprises Managed and Unmanaged Switches with Gigabit, PoE, IEC 61850 certification, and for DIN rail mounting. This gives you the flexibility to build powerful and secure networks, even in harsh environments: copper and FO ports, as well as redundancy functions, enable the flexible networking of your systems and the easy segmentation of your industrial network.
