Product Name Type Connectivity Product Description
FF-H1/Modbus/TCP Gateway (FG-100 FF/M)Network GatewayModbus TCPGateway between Ethernet-based host systems with Modbus/TCP and the Foundation fieldbus H1 bus system. Ideally suited to collect operational data and connect visualizations, controls etc.
Portable Protocol Software for Field Devices, MB-TCP-SRV/SC Software - ProgrammingModbus TCPPortable protocol stacks for Modbus TCP, PROFINET IO, and EtherNet/IP to enhance field devices with existing Ethernet hardware quickly and with a clearly defined level of development effort to include a Real-Time Ethernet interface. These field devices can then be used for control and motion applications, remote maintenance, operation and monitoring, and other applications.
Modbus TCP OPC ServerSoftware - OPCModbus TCPSofting's Modbus TCP OPC Server offers quick and convenient access to the I/O registers and coils of any Modbus TCP device or control system. The OPC Server is easy to operate, extremely powerful and can be flexibly assigned both as a Modbus client and server.
FPGA-based Hardware Integration Kit for Field DevicesNetwork GatewayModbus TCPThe Fieldbus Kit (FBK) communication module is a complete interface for connecting field devices to the PROFINET IO, EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP real-time Ethernet protocols. The Simple Device Application Interface (SDAI) is used to connect the device application to the protocol software. Flexible communication modules are an alternative when small quantities of interface connections are needed or the necessary hardware development skills are lacking. They can be used to quickly and easily extend the functionality of existing field devices.
