Smart Wireless Gateway
The Smart Wireless Gateway connects WirelessHART™ self-organizing networks with host systems and data applications. Modbus communications over RS-485 or Ethernet provide universal integration and system interoperability. The optional OPC functionality from the Gateway offers a means to connect to newer systems and applications while providing a richer set of data.
The Smart Wireless Gateway provides industry leading security, scalability, and data reliability. Layered security ensures that the network stays protected. Additional devices can be added at anytime. There is no need to configure communication paths because the Gateway manages the network automatically. This feature also ensures that WirelessHART™ field devices have the most reliable path to send data.
