netTAP

Gateway Solutions

The netTAP gateway family converts two protocols simply and efficiently into each other. Whether it’s a simple serial bus,
a classic Fieldbus or one of the many Real-Time-Ethernet protocols, netTAP provides a common platform for a transparent
conversion of any protocol of the industrial automation. For plants recently upgraded with Fieldbus or modernized with
Real-Time-Ethernet netTAP enables the use of existing and proven field devices still by simply interfacing between the
new and old technology.

The modular gateway design combines the two network interfaces in a DIN-rail mountable housing. netTAP is configured
and diagnosed by an universal FDT/DTM technology based configuration tool. LED indicators are visualizing status infor-
mation for rapid on-site diagnostics. The protocol conversions are pre-programmed and loaded as firmware into the device
on demand. Conversions needing the same physical network interface can be managed by a single device variant. So a
device can be for example a PROFIBUS slave on one hand or a PROFIBUS master by a simple firmware change on the
other.

netTAP 50 – The Low-Cost Gateway

netTAP 50 is a protocol converter for simple conversions. It supports conversions of 1-port Realtime Ethernet to Fieldbus
to serial automation protocols and realizes slave to slave and slave to master combinations. As a master netTAP 50
provides full master functionality to a one slave. This enables an effortless integration of a single field device into any
higher-level network.

The design impresses with a cost-optimized, compact hardware reduced to the very basic needs of a protocol converter.
The converter addresses a market segment that sets the focus on cost savings rather than on a fully-featured functionality.
The cost reduced design combined with its countless conversions is making netTAP 50 an attractive gateway in terms of
price and universality.

netTAP 100 – Gateway without limits

netTAP 100 is the protocol converter for sophisticated conversions and manages next to serial to Fieldbus to 2-port
Realtime Ethernet also Fieldbus to Fieldbus conversions. It supports slave and master functionality in any combination.
There are no restrictions on the master functionality when it is master licensed.

A memory card slot allows the user to save the firmware and configuration data on a removable card. In case of a field
failure all that is necessary to bring the plant back on line in seconds is to move the memory card from the old netTAP 100
onto a spare unit.

netTAP 100 allows the user to create own serial protocols with the scripting language Lua based netSCRIPT. A full fea-
tured development environment is included in the delivery. It allows the comfortable and rapid programming of any propri-
etary serial protocol and the I/O data pre-processing during the conversion into the other field protocol.
