BridgeWay

Ethernet to DeviceNet

Gateway (AB7603)

The BridgeWay Ethernet to DeviceNet Gateway seamlessly connects EtherNet/IP Scanner and

Modbus/TCP Master PLCs and HMIs to a DeviceNet Network. The AB7603 provides full DeviceNet

Master (or Slave) functionality allowing connectivity to 63 DeviceNet slave devices.

In addition to industrial automation protocols, the AB7603 supports IT protocols such as SMTP, FTP, and HTTP. It provides an internal web server to allow remote viewing of status and data via a web browser and offers email and fi le transfer capabilities to enhance your application.

Use Case Examples

The AB7603 can be used as a gateway to connect information or control level networks to device level networks:

¾ Ror remote programming or confi guration on your DeviceNet networks

¾ Used with a DCS, PLC or HMI, to control or perform data collection on a DeviceNet network via

EtherNet/IP or Modbus/TCP

Key Benefi ts

¾ Enables connectivity to existing or new DeviceNet networks to devices that support only EtherNet/IP or Modbus/TCP on Ethernet

¾ Feature-rich, cost-effective solution

¾ Replaces higher cost computer gateways and PLC scanners

¾ Rapid installation and confi guration

¾ Low risk, reliable operation, fi eld proven

¾ Superior product support

BridgeWay network gateways and interfaces provide low cost, high performance, fl exible connectivity solutions for a wide range of applications, including industrial automation and vehicle networks.

Designed as a modular platform with confi gurable hardware and software,
