– The **UNIGATE CL protocol converters** connect devices with serial interfaces (RS232, RS485, RS422) directly to fieldbus or Industrial Ethernet standards.
– Suitable for numerous protocols:
– Common protocols: Modbus ASCII, Modbus RTU (master/slave), 3964(R).
– Proprietary protocols: Freely programmable with the **Deutschmann script language** via the free PC tool **Protocol Developer**.
– Support of specific requirements such as **SSI protocol for transducers**.
**Most important functions**
– Hardware flexibility:
– Compatibility with all common fieldbus and Ethernet variants.
– Standardised interface structure and design for all variants.
– Multiple device operation with RS485.
– Top-hat rail mounting with compact dimensions.
– Electrical specifications**:
– Voltage range: 10-33 VDC.
– Integrated **isolation** (bus side as standard, optional on serial side).
– Software functions:
– Configuration via the **WINGATE** tool.
– Supports up to **24 Modbus requests**.
– Can be pre-configured according to customer requirements.
– Debug interface for simple troubleshooting.
**Advantages**
– Fast and flexible connection for devices with serial interfaces without adapting the firmware.
– Enables customised protocol adaptations for specific applications.
– Reduces development time through simple configuration and programmable scripts.
