Key features of  ABC3000 Series

Features and benefits

Connect up to 24 SubDevices with Scanning
Support for up to 24 SubDevices, 1486 bytes per device, and a 1 ms cycle time for demanding applications. Scan for EtherCAT devices via the web interface, automatically identifying and mapping them to the controller/PLC.

Transfer 244 bytes to and from PROFIBUS controller (PLC)
Transfer up to 244 bytes in each direction (488 bytes total). PROFIBUS DP device (slave) with automatic baud rate detection. Address setting via rotary switches or web interface. Includes a GSD file.

Instant data transfer
The Communicator transfers data instantly between networks, with processing time so low you don’t even need to count it, as it’s in line with network jitter. Just add the cycle times of both networks to get the total transfer time.

Configure via web interface over Ethernet
With a graphical and responsive web interface, configuration is a breeze. In addition, there's no software to install and the dedicated Ethernet configuration port makes it easy to get started.

Diagnostics and support
The user interface shows connection status, allowing you to monitor data going through the gateway. Monitor and control SubDevices via the Live List and Data Exchange Control features. Our global support team is ready to help if needed.

Secure and segment networks
Secure boot blocks malware, while a security switch locks configurations to prevent unauthorized changes. Network segmentation is inherent in the design, as each network is run separately, with only configured data transferred between networks.

Built for factory floors
The Gateway is made with industrial-grade components, verified to meet industry standards, and backed by a 5-year warranty. Its slim form factor, front-facing ports, and cable tie make DIN-rail installation easy.
