The netTAP 100 (photo) is a flexible and cost-effective gateway designed to bridge the gaps between traditional fieldbus, realtime Ethernet-based systems and serial protocols. Based on this firm’s netX chip, up to 1,000 protocol combinations are made possible in a modular compact DIN-rail mounted housing. The netTAP 100 is capable of linking any of the major fieldbus, realtime Industrial Ethernet’s and serial protocols used in the market today. master and slave protocols for CANopen, DeviceNet, Profibus, CCLink, EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP, Powerlink, Profinet, Sercos III, MB/RTU, MB ASCII RS232-, RS422, and RS485 are included for realtime I/O data exchange. A standard USB port is used for configuration along with loading network firmware and diagnostics. — Hilscher North America, Inc. Lisle, Ill.
