Wireless gateways
Connect various PROFIBUS field devices and share data between these devices using ProSoft Technology’s new ProLinx Wireless Gateways. ProSoft Wireless Protocol (PWP) allows sharing data “over-the-air” between different industrial networks and protocols. The gateways allow heterogeneous networks to share process and status data wirelessly. The ProLinx module contains an internal database that consists of areas for application data, status information, and configuration information, which is shared between all application ports and is used as a conduit to pass information from a device on one network to one or more devices on other networks.
