Staff -- Control Engineering, 1/1/2006

DRL-DVN-SRE Direct-Link gateway for DeviceNet is designed to connect a DeviceNet network to a serial or Ethernet network or device. No programming is necessary; the gateway transfers I/O data cyclically between the two networks according to user configuration. Supplied software tools allow for easy configuration and diagnostics. Gateway is DIN-rail mountable, has an IP20 rating, and is certified by the Open DeviceNet Vendors Association (ODVA). Applications include connecting serial devices, simple network extensions, remote data acquisition through Ethernet, and monitoring the plant floor. www.woodhead.com, Woodhead Industries Inc.
