Interface Converters
Description
The aim of industrial communication is the reliable transmission of data from the field through to the control level. Interface converters and device servers enable the protocol-transparent conversion of serial interfaces, such as RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485, to other standards, e.g., Ethernet (RJ45). Gateways and protocol converters convert various fieldbus and Ethernet protocols (e.g., PROFIBUS to PROFINET), thus enabling the easy integration of legacy serial devices and fieldbuses into modern Ethernet networks.
