The UNIGATE FALCON protocol converter/gateway series offers an immediately integrable embedded version. The embedded version of the new UNIGATE FALCON series includes the same functions as the DIN rail module. These include the standard RS232/RS422/RS485 serial interfaces, as well as the respective Industrial Ethernet or fieldbus interface. With a low installation height of approximately 25 mm, the embedded version is also suitable for installation situations with limited space and where redesigning the existing electronics is not planned. All modules for the different bus variants have an identical mechanical design, allowing for flexible use. Mounting is achieved via four 3 mm diameter holes. This allows for retrofitting end devices with the required Industrial Ethernet or fieldbus interface. Communication between the serial connection and/or Industrial Ethernet/fieldbus is established either through device configuration or via a script. The UNIGATE FALCON web interface allows you to configure standard protocols such as Modbus ASCII, Modbus RTU (Master or Slave), 3964 (R), and others. Scripts can be created using the free PC software tool 'Protocol Developer'. A script offers maximum flexibility for complex tasks and enables, for example, the implementation of proprietary protocols. You can also develop your own scripts based on the available template scripts. Deutschmann Automation also offers script creation as a service.
