Downers Grove, Ill. —Based on a 486/66 microprocessor running Microsoft Windows CE, the PKV40 provides a gateway that links Modbus/TCP data format communications over 10 Mbit/sec Ethernet with DeviceNet, Profibus, Interbus, CANopen, ControlNet, AS-i, or SDS. When necessary, users can write custom applications in the Windows CE environment to support both control programs and other Ethernet protocols. Using the company’s SyCon configuration and diagnostic software, users can configure and diagnose the fieldbus via Ethernet. www.synergetic.com
