Connection gateways

Connection gateways enable signals from devices to be converted into standard protocols, for direct communication with the machine control system (PLC) or company network infrastructure.

Use of connection gateways is particularly beneficial in large plants with multiple access points to monitor. This system eliminates the complexity of traditional wiring and ensures rapid and precise diagnostics along the entire line.

P-Connect gateway for industrial safety protocols

The gateway is capable of connecting multiple Pizzato safety devices to a single PROFINET/PROFIsafe, EtherNet/IPTM/CIP SafetyTM or EtherCAT®/Safety over EtherCAT® network. This ensures easy installation, even on very large machinery, and minimises wiring.

Positioning in safe areas

The P-Connect connection gateway can be positioned in safe areas, away from the connected devices, to limit the risk of accidental damage or tampering.

Series connection of safety devices

P-Connect connection gateways have two connectors. One supplies electrical power to the device and the other is used for the connection to the fieldbus network. This means several P-Connect gateways can be connected in series by simply connecting together the input and output connectors. This notably reduces the time required for installing, uninstalling and replacing components during maintenance.

Rapid access to diagnostics data

The P-Connect connection gateway allows quick access to diagnostic data such as internal temperature, gateway supply voltage, or current consumption of the connected devices. This makes it easy to monitor the gateway and the connected devices, quickly detecting any malfunctions.

Plug & play gateway for quick installation

With connectors on both the power side and the device side, the P-Connect connection gateway is a plug & play solution that saves installation time compared to traditional solutions that must be wired into a cabinet. What’s more, it can quickly be replaced if there’s a malfunction or if it gets damaged.
