Overview: The GWY-500 is a compact protocol converter designed for DIN rail or panel mounting. It features two communication ports: COM1 supports RS232, RS422, RS485, and CMOS, while COM2 is a Profibus-DP-V0 Slave port. This device facilitates data sharing between PLCs, inverters, controllers, and other network devices, supporting multiple PLC and inverter models with low power consumption of 2.5 Watts. It is CE and UL certified.
Specifications: The GWY-500 operates on +24V DC with a maximum current of 100mA. It includes two communication ports with isolation through a DC-DC coupler and opto-isolation. The Profibus port supports baud rates from 9.6k to 12M bit/s. The device can handle 100-word input and output data, with a bus address range of 0-255. It operates within a temperature range of 0 to 60°C and can be stored between -20 to 80°C, with humidity tolerance from 10% to 90% non-condensing.
Features: The GWY-500 supports various protocols on COM1, including Modbus RTU, Toshiba, AB DF1, Omron Host Link, and more. It allows for PLC to PLC communication, adding I/O to PLCs, and integrating PLCs as slaves in Profibus or Modbus networks. The device is programmable using a common software for the entire Gateway family, compatible with Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP.
Applications: The GWY-500 is used in diverse industrial applications, enabling communication between field devices over serial and Profibus networks. It supports HMI software like ASTRA by Renu Electronics and can be configured to transfer data blocks between devices using a spreadsheet format.
Certifications and Compliance: The device complies with various immunity standards, including ESD, fast transients, radiated electromagnetic fields, conducted disturbances, and surge protection, as per IEC and EN standards.
Models: The GWY series includes various models supporting different technologies and protocols, such as LonWorks, CANBUS, Ethernet, and HART, with the GWY-500 specifically supporting Profibus-DP-V0.
