To help process plants meet the demands of Industry 4.0, our PROFINET gateways use Ethernet-based communication to enable seamless integration of device and process data.

To help process plants meet the demands of Industry 4.0, our PROFINET gateways use Ethernet-based communication to enable seamless integration of device and process data. This advanced technology allows the process industry to take a major step toward networked production. The LB system can be used in Zone 2/Div. 2, while the FB system can be used up to Zone 1. The new gateways feature S2 system redundancy for plants requiring high availability, connecting the Remote I/O station to redundant controllers. In addition users can deploy gateways in ring redundancy.
