Description
SmartLink HW PN

PROFINET Gateway for Asset Management
Access PROFINET networks via FDI and OPC UA
smartLink HW-PN provides access to PROFINET networks. By integrating standardized technologies like a FDI communication server (OPC UA), it provides transparent access to all connected devices.
smartLink HW-PN can be used for asset management, device configuration and monitoring.

Asset Management and Parameterization of PROFINET Devices
Parameterization and Asset Management
- Secure, standardized access to devices
- Parallel to and independent of the controller
Compatible with established communication standards
- Implements the standard FDI communication server interface based on OPC UA
Asset Management and Parameterization of PROFIBUS Devices
Parameterization and Asset Management
- Secure, standardized access to devices
- Parallel to and independent of the controller
Inexpensive and low-risk Integration
- Connection of PROFIBUS devices without additional hardware
- Use of existing infrastructure using the PROFINET/PROFIBUS proxy standard for connecting to the PROFIBUS devices
Compatible with established communication standards
- Implements the standard FDI communication server interface based on OPC UA

Parameterization and Asset Management
- Independent of PROFINET engineering tools
- Centralized and time-saving asset management of PROFINET networks with PROFINET and PROFIBUS field devices directly from the control room
Ethernet Access Point to PROFINET networks
- Provides 2nd channel to access the field devices
- Acts as a PROFINET supervisor
- Is part of one PROFINET network
- Integrated 2-port switch for use in line or ring network topologies
Key Component for Transition to State-of-the-Art Technology
- Re-use of existing PROFINET networks without requiring modification
- Access to acyclic data via FDI communication server (OPC UA)
