Need real-time data? When it comes to gateways, there’s no comparison. The PLX30 Ethernet and Serial Gateways are powerful and cost-effective solutions for connecting end devices to an EtherNet/IP or Modbus TCP/IP network. 

Crane maintenance is “simplified“ at KIA Motors plant with ProSoft Technology wireless solution.

These gateways are a powerful, robust and cost effective solution for connecting devices on dissimilar networks.

The island of Guernsey is a British Crown dependency, located in the English Channel, about 30 miles from the north coast of France and 70 miles from the south coast of England. Guernsey Water has deployed a communication network to integrate 40 facilities into a single network. These range from pumping stations and water treatment works to land and office buildings. The ProSoft Technology solution, based on IEEE 802.11n standard, proved to be a reliable, easy to integrate and cost-effective solution.

The ProLinx ‘Modbus TCP/IP’ to ‘IEC-61850’ gateway has been designed for remote control of substations in electricity distribution systems. It enables communication between the Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) on one side (on an IEC-61850 network) and the Schneider Electric Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) on the other side (on a Modbus TCP/IP network).

Now included in all RadioLinx IHN (industrial 802.11n) from ProSoft Technology, a new “Personality” specification automatically stores and loads radio-configurations. This functionality is appreciated for saving and managing radio configuration settings.

Almost 80 ProSoft Technology in-chassis and gateway products are now supported within the Integrated Architecture Builder (IAB) project-design software tool.

RadioLinx Smart Switch intelligent routing technology enables true peer-to-peer wireless Ethernet communication. When coupled with the Industrial Frequency Hopping Ethernet’s 1.1 Mbps data rate capabilities, the Smart Switch radios from ProSoft Technology provide best-in-class performance for any application.

Wireless is utilized now more than ever in control architectures. It is flexible, versatile and can be cost effective; however, concerns with the security, reliability, and capacity of wireless continue to prevent conservative end users from reaping its benefits. Are these concerns valid? This article will address these points head-on, disentangling the misconceptions from genuine challenges, providing insight about how to overcome obstacles now and down the road with proper understanding, planning and execution.
