This page shows a few examples of how the KUNBUS Gateways can be used. These are the following:
Modular Gateway RevPi Gate PROFINET IRT - DeviceModular Gateway
RevPi Gate EtherCAT Modular Gateway Ethernet- Slave
Connect two PLC together with two KUNBUS Gateways and a Revolution Pi main Module
You can use two gateways in conjunction with a Revolution Pi Core to connect two PLCs.
The advantage of this configuration is:
The Revolution Pi can analyseanalyze, process and edit the data before forward forwarding it - see RevolutionPi Revolution Pi Gateway Tutorial
The PLCs can have different protocols
...
You can use two KUNBUS gateways without a RevPi Module module to connect two devices (PLC) to support different industrial networks.
...
each gateway has its own memory. This may vary depending on the gateway. If two gateways are plugged together, the buffer on both sides is automatically configured to have the same size as the gateway with the smallest memory.
The memory on both GWs Modular Gateway Modules is mirrored for each action so that it is not necessary to decide which GW to write to. This means that when a cell is written to, it will be done on both sides.
