An embedded solution of new protocol converter/gateway generation

Deutschmann Automation offers an embedded version of the new generation of the UNIGATE FALCON protocol converter/gateway series that can be immediately integrated. The compact communication solution quickly and easily provides an industrial Ethernet or fieldbus interface.

The embedded version of the series can be incorporated directly into existing final products as a complete module without a housing. Thanks to the low installation height of approximately 25mm, the embedded version is also suited to installation situations where space is limited, and a redesign of the existing electronics needs to be planned. Also, this embedded solution is ideal for applications that do not allow or should avoid DIN rail mounting of a separate or external protocol converter or gateway.

The solution is mounted via four fixing holes, enabling individual mounting within the product housing. The position and dimensions of the holes are identical in all bus versions. The module is simply wired within the product, whereby the device configuration or programming can be used. The electronics of the final product do not need to be adapted or changed.

The compact embedded version of the series can be directly integrated into final products without any development effort and is ideal for small series production. By using the ready-to-run solution, design time and time-to-market of the individual automation solution can be greatly optimised.

The protocol converter/gateway series is modular in design, with the aim of realising the best possible solution for the respective application. Of course, UNIGATE FALCON Embedded also retains the option of cascading.

Along with the company's well-known embedded solutions UNIGATE IC/IC2, the new series offers a further alternative for integrating an industrial Ethernet or fieldbus interface directly into the terminal device.
