The UNIGATE FALCON ECO - PROFIBUS protocol converter expands Deutschmann’s established UNIGATE FALCON ECO series available in variants for PROFINET and EtherCAT. All modules for different bus variants have an identical mechanical design and can therefore be used flexibly or replaced without additional effort. The compact DIN rail module series with IP20 rating has dimensions of 25x95x91 mm and can be integrated directly in existing end products.
Preinstalled serial protocols
The PROFIBUS - DP - Slave interface of the UNIGATE FALCON ECO - PROFIBUS protocol converter is suited for up to 244 Byte input and output data. The automatically Baud rate detection ranges from 9600bit/s to 12Mbit/s. The PROFIBUS address can be set using a rotary switch or a WebApp. PROFIBUS configuration is carried out via a GSD file. All modules of the UNIGATE FALCON ECO protocol converter series integrate serial RS422, RS485 und RS232 interfaces as standard. Serial protocols such as Modbus RTU (master & slave) and ASCII (master & slave) and a generically configurable protocol are pre-installed. The serial standard protocols can be configured user-friendly via the web interface. Flexible programming of a script from Deutschmann Automation enables the implementation of further standard and proprietary protocols. Scripts can be created with the free Protocol Developer software tool.
The UNIGATE FALCON ECO protocol converter series offers integrated service functions, which can be called up via a button on the front of the device. A hardware reset, for example, is possible without additional equipment.
