Network interfaces (gateways)

Networks transitions between different bus systems are implemented through links, PLCs or PCs. In the latter 2 cases integrated interfaces and communications processors (PCs) are used.
Gateways implemented in the form of links pass data seamlessly from one network to another, enabling transparent interfacing of existing PROFIBUS devices to Industrial Ethernet. Apart from wired proxies to Industrial Ethernet, SIMATIC NET also offers proxies with Industrial Wireless LAN connections.
