netlink, simple plug-in to the cpu.
The “Internet of things” promises completely new possibilities for in-dustrial production. These current requirements of advancing digitaliza-tion face old, existing systems without network access in many producing industrial companies. The increas-ing merging of various automation components into integral complete systems in Industry 4.0 environments thus more than ever requires a con-nection between the Ethernet net-work and existing, “old” PLCs.
NETL ink® gateways make yourexisting systems network-compatible
Helmholz had already developed an efficient, compact, and user-friendly answer to this challenge many years ago with its PROFIBUS Ethernet gate-way. MPI/PPI/PROFIBUS devices can be connected with Ethernet networks very easily via NETLink®. RFC 1006 is another supported protocol.On the control system side, the mod-ules enable the full transmission speed of 12 Mbps via MPI or PROFIBUS.
The current NETLink® PRO Compact is especially suited for retrofits in ex-isting systems and production lines. It is plugged directly into the port of the PROFIBUS/MPI participant and thus requires no additional space in the control cabinet. The NETLink® re-ceives the operating voltage through the active PROFIBUS device. In the case of passive participants in the net-work, the Ethernet gateway can be supplied with 24 V externally.
