Description:

The GWC unit has been developed to guarantee the three functions of programmable logic controller (PLC), motion controller and communication converter (gateway). The programmable logic controller and motion controller functions allow the user to control a process via fieldbus, the serial interface and the inputs/outputs, according to a program defined by the user. The communication converter function allows for the interchange of data between the different fieldbuses: CANbus (CANopen master/slave), DeviceNet (slave), Profibus (Profibus-DP slave) and Serial (Modbus master/slave). The coexistence of the three functions in a single unit, simplifies the automation of a wide range of industrial applications in a simple manner and with a significant economic advantage.

Technologies

Modbus is a communication protocol among the most widely used standards in the world of industrial devices. All our devices equipped with a serial interface (RS232 or RS485) implement and support the Modbus RTU protocol.

Ever Elettronica has been one of the first companies in the world to implement and validate the CANopen protocol and the DSP402 on its drives for stepper motors and brushless motors, starting from the early ‘90s.

CANopen is a standard communication protocol widely used in the industrial automation fields. First developed for use with CAN fieldbus, it has also been applied to other types of fieldbuses such as Ethercat CoE.

Features

Thanks to the TR.I.P.O.S.GW programming environment, it is possible to customise the machine cycle and manage all drives and local resources, reducing and simplifying the work load of the master PLC, if present.
