Industrial Gateways
An industrial gateway is a communication device that translates data between devices using different interfaces or protocols, connecting field devices to a higher-level network or monitoring system. It is used to transfer the data of energy analyzers, meters, relays and PLCs that communicate over Modbus RTU on RS-485 to SCADA, energy monitoring software or cloud applications over TCP/IP. This group includes Tense Ethernet-RS-485 gateways with 24 V and 230 V supply, the GEMO gateway that connects the AR2 smart relay to a Modbus RTU network, and Schneider Electric EcoStruxure Panel Server models that function as a wireless device concentrator or data logger. Choose the gateway by the interface and protocol on the field side, the protocol the higher-level system expects, the number of devices to be connected, the supply voltage and the data logging need. Some models offer TCP client and server operating modes and configuration through a web interface. A gateway translates interfaces or protocols; an Ethernet switch that only multiplies ports, or an RS-485 repeater that only regenerates the signal, is not a substitute for a gateway.

How to choose Industrial Gateways
An industrial gateway is a communication device that translates data between devices using different interfaces or protocols, connecting field devices to a higher-level network or monitoring system. It is used to transfer the data of energy analyzers, meters, relays and PLCs that communicate over Modbus RTU on RS-485 to SCADA, energy monitoring software or cloud applications over TCP/IP.
- Separate sensing, motion control, logic processing and operator interface requirements.
- Select signal type, supply voltage, communication protocol and I/O count for the machine network.
- Verify housing size, sensing distance and PNP/NPN output polarity against the PLC input card.
Frequently asked questions
What is Industrial Gateways and where is it used?
