Advantech EKI-1242PNMS

PROFINET Fieldbus gateways provide seamless communication between Fieldbus and Industrial Ethernet and allow different protocol devices to communicate with each other. They are designed for reliable protocol extensibility and seamless integration with existing network devices. They offer a viable solution for efficiently converting data from devices with different protocols and reduce the possibility of expensive device purchases or software programming errors.

The EKI-1242PNMS industrial protocol gateway provides seamless communication between Fieldbus and Ethernet devices, supporting a range of protocols. Integrating new and existing Modbus TCP devices to PROFINET networks, the EKI-1242PNMS is a cost-effective and simple way to bring the advantage of fast I/O data transfer between devices while delivering high performance with protocol extensibility and adaptation.
