Data Sheet

Nowadays, the demands on historically developed communication networks are getting more and more complex.
Different networks with various data speed and data traffic are expected to communicate among each other. Where
previously a classical fieldbus like CANopen, PROFIBUS or DeviceNet was the preferred network, Ethernet based
protocols supplement or replace them today. A complete exchange of the communication modules is expensive and
often not realizable. Therefore, the modular gateways from KUNBUS offer an excellent way to connect fast, easily
and cost-efficiently different networks in compliance with the protection of investments.
The KUNBUS-GW gateways consists of two
modules each, which contain the respective
protocol and are fitted with a common
interface for the data exchange. Each
module is integrated into the respective
network as a Slave. The data is exchanged
via a jumper that connects both modules.
The gateway converts all data that the
target network can transfer. It omits non-
transferrable data and adds necessary data
in the new network. Thus, the operators can
transfer all necessary data from one closed
network to another.
This intelligent approach makes the
KUNBUS-GW gateway highly flexible.
KUNBUS offers a protocol converter that
can be attached to DIN rails and detached
again easily by means of plug and play.
The protocols themselves are located in
compact modules, whose housings are just
22.5 x 101.4 x 115 in size. The modules
are supplied with an operating voltage of
24 Volt whereby the power consumption is
less than 3 Watt.
Whereas conventional gateways have to
be replaced completely in the event of
a technical malfunction, with KUNBUS-
GW gateways it is sufficient to replace the
defective module only.
Apart from the resultant cost benefit from
the module design, this approach offers
another key benefit: The decision for or
against a certain network only has to be
made just before delivery. Consequently, it
is possible to react better to any special and
recent changes in requirements which have
occurred.
Customized solutions are also possible. The
gateways are equipped with an integrated
web server; program parts are updated via
FTP server.
The gateway is diversely combinable with
the most important protocols of industrial
communication networks.
