What needs to be done if a robot is to be integrated into an existing automation environment, but they speak different languages? Then a gateway is used to ensure secure data transmission - in this application implemented by robotics specialist More Robots from Austria from POWERLINK to Ethernet/IP with Hilscher's netTAP gateway.
netTAP 151 provides a flexible and scalable solution for an easy integration of independent processing systems into one industrial communication network.
Hattersheim, 25. Feb. 2025– Hilscher Gesellschaft für Systemautomation has added a new evaluation board to its single-pair Ethernet (SPE) technology portfolio. The NXEB-90-SPE board is based on Hilscher's multiprotocol-capable device controller netX 90 and offers users and developers numerous options for developing and evaluating industrial applications with SPE.
Hattersheim, 04. Nov. 2024 – Hilscher Gesellschaft für Systemautomation mbH has released a new SPE Media Switch for connecting Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) to industrial Ethernet networks. The SPE Media Switch is based on Hilscher's multiprotocol-capable netX-90 communication controller and can connect SPE applications to PROFINET, Open Modbus/TCP and EtherNet/IP networks without barriers.
