Z-KEY

The R-KEY-LT-P gateway for Profinet networks features a compact design and small footprint. It ensures an excellent price-performance ratio, universal use and optimised network integration costs. R-KEY-LT-P transmits data bidirectionally between Profinet IO and ModBUS RTU / TCP-IP industrial networks. Equipped with 1 serial port and 1 Ethernet 100 BaseT port, on the Profinet IO side the device is compatible with the most common PLCs supporting the same standard. On the ModBUS side, it operates as a Master device on the serial line, capable of controlling a subnetwork with 128 ModBUS RTU slave nodes. In ModBUS TCP-IP mode, it can connect to 10 ModBUS TCP-IP servers. The device autonomously reads device registers on the serial bus or Ethernet and allows a Profinet IO controller to access up to a maximum of 500 variables (tags). Each ModBUS variable (tag) can be converted to Profinet IO. Configuration and diagnostics are performed through the Simatic TIA PORTAL environment (when integrating systems with Siemens PLCs) and/or CODESYS softPLC.
