DigiGate Profibus is the ideal equipment for interconnecting a Profibus DP network with a Modbus RTU network. It works as a gateway, operating as a master station in the Modbus network and as a slave station in the Profibus network.
Thus, according to its previous configuration, DigiGate will read the data of the other devices (slaves) of the Modbus network and send the read values to the Profibus master. In the same way, it will write at the output of the Modbus slaves according to the Profibus master requests, providing a complete control of the Modbus network devices through the Profibus network.
The device is totally configurable through the application DigiConfig for Windows®, which comes with the product, making access and change of its parameters really easy.

DigiGate Profibus is a useful corverter that reads Modbus data and translates it into Profibus protocol. Its parameters are easily configured through the DigiConfig application. DigiGate can read and convert data from slave devices on the Modbus network, providing efficient control of your Profibus network.

A Brazilian ceramic tile company intended to deactivate two smaller kilns and reduce its gas consumption, whose bill was close to U$ 100,000 per month. The N2000s, a PID controller specifically designed for actuation of servomotor valves, has emerged as the ideal solution to the problem.

The DigiGate Profibus is a gateway for connecting a Profibus DP network and a Modbus RTU network. It is a cost-effective solution on the market to search factory floor data, generally used by instruments in Modbus networks, for the level of control in Profibus DP. The gateway treats the networks separately, because they are different speeds, functioning as a master in the Modbus network and slave in the Profibus network.
