SG-gateway with EtherNet/IP

Bridging the gap between industrial and energy communication

The SG-gateway supports the communication protocols used in the energy sector, including IEC60870-5-104, DNP3 and IEC61850 and enables connectivity for energy devices to EtherNet/IP-based automation systems. On top of that the simultaneously usable OPC-UA and MQTT functionality empower direct integration into the companies’ cloud-based applications.

The EtherNet/IP interface for Allen-Bradley PLCs implements a real-time EtherNet/IP adapter interface with an integrated 2-port switch, allowing seamless network integration.

In addition to EtherNet/IP, IEC and DNP3 protocols, other electric equipment in the field can also be connected via Modbus-TCP and RTU. As an option, the SG-gateway can also include a 3G modem for remote connectivity.

Order codes: ASG4115, ASG4114, ASG4112, ASG4110, ASG4108, ASG4106, ASG4104, ASG4102, ASG4100
