Overview

With Its super-low power consumption LTE and industrial-grade hardware, PG5201B provides seamless protocol conversion for devices in industrial network operations. With its rugged construction, PG5201B is designed to perform in the most demanding of industries – including power distribution, oil and gas, manufacturing, and agriculture. As a highly reliable and fault-tolerant Industrial Protocol Gateway, also features integrated LTE connectivity, making it ideal for any industry looking to implement devices at remote locations for smart grid operations. Serial reach can also be extended with the Gateway’s redundant Ethernet.

Performance
Its rugged, reliable hardware features high EMC protection, wide temperature operation, and programming and installation flexibility in one device, while its advanced performance protects your data over the Internet with IPsec or OpenVPN tunnels.

Configuration

The device can be easily configured using eNode Designer, a user-friendly Windows utility based on Java. The tool allows users to assign various protocols to different ports, define serial port settings, and define protocol specific parameters, such as data point mapping. eNode uses a project file to represent the system as a whole, with eNode modules representing individual network devices and protocol applications for individual configuration – such as defining where data point information enters and leaves the eNode Designer system.

An additional highlight of ATOP protocol gateways is the ability to enable multiple protocols simultaneously. In contrast to conventional gateways, which require predefinition of a single master and slave protocol each, the Full-License model allows users to transform multiple incoming protocols in our protocol base to others compatible with the output side, achieving powerful protocol conversion functions, flexible operations, and easier maintenance.

 

APPLICATION CASE

Features
The protocol gateway’s embedded protocol stacks allow

• Seamless conversion
• Exception/error Management
• Unsolicited event management for the protocols requiring them (such as DNP3)
• High performance
• Low cost

 

General Architecture

 

Application Example – Modbus Serial HMI to DNP3.0

In this example, a Modbus Serial HMI is easily connected to a DNP3 IED through Atop’s Protocol Gateway. The host HMI’s role is a Modbus Serial Master while the end-device to be accessed is a DNP3.0 Ethernet Server Slave. To the host HMI, Atop’s Protocol Gateway acts seamlessly as a Modbus Serial Slave, answering the polling commands and write commands that come
from the by using a virtual Modbus ID. Simultaneously, Atop’s Protocol Gateway acts as a DNP3 Ethernet Client to any end-device whose DNP3 address is mapped to the virtual Modbus ID that the HMI is accessing.

WARNING
All gateway functions listed in the datasheet refer to the “Gateway” role, and not which “host” or “slave” the gateway is connected to. The SKU shown in this example is “MBSS-DNEC” (Modbus Serial Slave to DNP3.0 Ethernet Client).
