Z-KEY-2ETH Profinet (HW rev. C0)

Z-KEY-2ETH Profinet is an advanced gateway that facilitates two-way communication between Profinet IO and ModBUS RTU/ASCII/TCP-IP industrial networks. The device has two serial ports and two 100 BaseT Ethernet ports.

With its ability to autonomously read ModBUS device registers via serial bus or Ethernet, Z-KEY makes this data accessible to a Profinet IO controller. In the ModBUS context, it acts as a master device with a dedicated memory space of 1200 bytes READ and 1200 bytes WRITE to define commands. This allows a smooth and flexible transition between the two standards and the control of a sub-network with 128 nodes.

Configuration and diagnostics are simplified thanks to the integrated web server, dedicated software suite, Excel templates for managing and exporting variables, Simatic TiA Portal environment (in the case of integration with Siemens PLCs), and other PLCs. This variety of options offers a versatile approach to adapt to the application's specific needs, enabling smooth integration and efficient system management.
