Device Network Integration

Connect one or multiple field devices with any major control system.

Function of the Hilscher gateway: As a controller for the devices in the subordinate network and as a device in the network segment of the controller.

Segment Coupling

Connect machines using different network technologies.

Function of the Hilscher Gateway: As a device in both network segments.

Ethernet Controlled Networks

Connect multiple field devices with Ethernet-based control systems or applications.

Function of the Hilscher gateway: As a controller in the industrial network for the subordinate field devices.
