PROFINET - KNX gateway

Code: EK-BN1-TP

Description

The Ekinex® PROFINET - KNX Gateway performs a protocol conversion between a PROFINET and a KNX TP network. The device acts as slave of PROFINET communication.

The device integrates a KNX bus communication module and it is suitable for mounting on a 35 mm DIN rail; it requires an auxiliary power supply (8...24 Vac or 12...35 Vdc).

It provides seamless data exchange between industrial PROFINET networks (PLCs, SCADA, industrial controllers) and building automation devices on a KNX TP bus.

Other information

PROFINET (Process Field Net) is an open source, Ethernet based (IEEE 802.xx) standard communication protocol, suitable for data exchange between field devices in industrial and process automation applications. The standard is supported by PROFIBUS & PROFINET International (PI) association.
