Overview: The Gateway GATE 3S is a communication device designed to link local networks with external networks (fieldbuses) for transferring weight, force, or servo data to PCs or PLCs. It supports various fieldbuses, with PROFIBUS-DP as the standard option, and can connect up to 16 units depending on the PLC and fieldbus used.
Key Features: GATE 3S offers fast transmission rates, updating five attached AST 3 units 50 times per second. It reduces system costs by eliminating the need for separate fieldbus interfaces for each weigh system. The device includes a display for setup, service, and monitoring data such as weights and transmission status.
Technical Specifications:- Measurement and Control Port: Supports RS-485/RS-422 communication with fast and general mapping options for commands and data transfer.
- Fieldbus Interface: Compatible with various fieldbuses including PROFIBUS-DP, DeviceNet, Ethernet, Modbus-TCP, and others.
- Environmental Conditions: Operates within a temperature range of -10ºC to +50ºC and conforms to CE standards for EMC in industrial process control.
- Power Supply: Requires a 24 VDC ±20% power supply with a consumption of 4 W.
- Mechanical Data: Dimensions are 75 x 100 x 110 mm, suitable for DIN rail mounting, with an IP 20 rating for dust and moisture protection.
- Front Panel: Features a 2 x 16 character LCD display and four control keys.
Additional Notes: The maximum number of units that can be connected may vary depending on the fieldbus used. Transfer times do not include fieldbus transfer, which can vary based on configuration and speed.
