BridgeWay Module Description

Overview

The BridgeWay Ethernet to DeviceNet Gateway allows you to seamlessly connect

your Information or Control level networks with your Device level network.

The Ethernet to DeviceNet Gateway provides full DeviceNet Master functionality

allowing connectivity to 63 DeviceNet slaves devices along with an Ethernet

TCP/IP interface that supports IT protocols such as SMTP, FTP, HTTP and con-

trol protocols such as EtherNet/IP and Modbus/TCP.

Examples of BridgeWay Ethernet to DeviceNet applications:

• BridgeWay can be used as a gateway to connect information or control

level networks to device level networks for programming, configuration,

control or data collection. (E.g. Modbus/TCP to DeviceNet)

• BridgeWay can provide router/bridge functionality to connect EtherNet/

IP to DeviceNet.

• BridgeWay can provide an internal web server to allow remote viewing of

data via a web browser and can offer email and file transfer capabilities to

enhance your application.
