Unigate CL PowerLink Gateway
Part No:MPGC-MB-UGW-CL-PL
DESCRIPTION:
PowerLink-enable any RS232/485/422 serial or Modbus device with the UNIGATE
CL Gateway. Make any serial device a PowerLink Slave using the UNIGATE CL
Gateway. Its low-cost and flexibility are ideal for high volume
applications. One side of the gateway is a fieldbus, PowerLink slave, while
the other side is a high performance serial port that directly interfaces
with your serial device. The serial side of the UNIGATE can either be used
in one of many standard configurations (including Modbus RTU master/slave
and standard RS232/422/485), or can be customized with its built-in
scripting language. Volume and OEM pricing available.
CUSTOM PROTOCOLS:
The UNIGATE CL Gateway allows for the quick development of custom
applications on the serial side using its powerful scripting language.
When developing a custom application, or for simple configuration to a
standard protocol, we recommend using a
Starter Kit. Starter
kits contain all the connection cables and power supplies for configuring
and/or scripting. There is even a PowerLink Master tool for testing your
configuration or script. Scripts are written using the Protocol
Developer Tool. If you need a custom protocol and scripting is not for
you, Grid Connect offers scripting services at reasonable rates (call for
details).
FEATURES:
˙Complete PowerLink Slave
˙Max. 1300 byte input and 1300 byte
output data
˙Isolated PowerLink interface,
optional
galvanic isolation of the serial RS
side
˙PowerLink Baud Rates up to 100 Mbps
˙Serial RS232, RS422 and RS485
interfaces on board
˙Serial Baud rates up to 625 kbps
˙Script language for optimal
adaptation to your field device
˙Easy configuration from MS
Windows® using the WinGate tool.
˙Develop customized scripts with the
free Protocol Developer software tool
˙Scripts are portable between
all other UNIGATE CL or IC Gateways
