Gateway Benefits
Installation with a gateway
Only one Ethernet cable is mandatory between the control system and the gateway
One gateway can have several fieldbus segments
More flexibility and easy enhancement of a plant thank to an useful user interface
Wireless is possible between the control system and the gateway
Traditional installation
The fieldbus (cables) must be usually connected to the control system (PLC) and requires more cabling efforts
Need of one interface card in the control system per fieldbus segment
Adding or configuring a new device is difficult and time consuming
Use of Wireless is limited between the control system and the field devices

epGate PN (successor of FG-260)
EtherNetIP to PROFINET Gateway
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 17
Connect PROFINET IO devices to EtherNetIP
o Use Case A device manufacturer who propose a solution (System) with PROFINET and sell it
to a country where EtherNetIP Controllers are preferred (ie USA)
Challenge
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 18
epGate PN acts as a gateway between an EtherNetIP scanner (eg a Rockwell PLC) and PROFINET devices
Upper RJ45 socket connects to the EtherNetIP PLC bull Simple data access for Rockwell PLCs thanks to AOI support
The local PROFINET controller connects through the lower RJ45 socket to an underlying network of PROFINET devices
bull Simultaneous access to multiple PROFINET devices bull Access to Siemens PLCs per I-Device support
Transparent exchange of data (process application) bull Webserver allows for monitoring of current state and diagnostics bull Configuration tool is included
epGate PN - Overview
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 19
Functional replacement only ndash no direct replacement bull Small installed base vs drawbacks of drop-in replacement bull epGate PN has a new device type for clear distinction
epGate PNrsquos PROFINET configuration requires Common Configurator V223 or later
bull exchange FG-260 by epGate PN in PROFINET project bull rebuild project bull download project to epGate PN
Update your Rockwell PLC project bull Import epGate PNrsquos EDS file bull import newly created add-on instruction bull adjust program where wanted bull recompile and download to PLC
FG-260 to epGate PN migration
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 20
Many products available simply act as slaves on both networks (ProSoft HMS Moxa hellip)
This requires a PROFINET PLC that supplies data actively to the gateway Direct integration of PROFINET devices is impossible
The only competitor known using PROFINET controller in the gateway is Hilscher No add-on instruction for easy integration into Rockwell PLCs PLC program cannot automatically use generated symbolic from the configured PROFINET devices

Gateway Benefits
Installation with a gateway
Only one Ethernet cable is mandatory between the control system and the gateway
One gateway can have several fieldbus segments
More flexibility and easy enhancement of a plant thank to an useful user interface
Wireless is possible between the control system and the gateway
Traditional installation
The fieldbus (cables) must be usually connected to the control system (PLC) and requires more cabling efforts
Need of one interface card in the control system per fieldbus segment
Adding or configuring a new device is difficult and time consuming
Use of Wireless is limited between the control system and the field devices

Gateway Benefits
Installation with a gateway
Only one Ethernet cable is mandatory between the control system and the gateway
One gateway can have several fieldbus segments
More flexibility and easy enhancement of a plant thank to an useful user interface
Wireless is possible between the control system and the gateway
Traditional installation
The fieldbus (cables) must be usually connected to the control system (PLC) and requires more cabling efforts
Need of one interface card in the control system per fieldbus segment
Adding or configuring a new device is difficult and time consuming
Use of Wireless is limited between the control system and the field devices

COMPLETE HIGHLY FUNCTIONAL COST EFFICIENT
FG-200
Four channel host interface on the infrastructure level in-between Host systems (ModbusTCP or HSE) and FF-H1 field devices
bull Either via a DCSPLC Host system the Softing configuration tool or an engineering tool
Fast redundancy (FF-H1 segments) bull Cyclic communication (Publisher - Subscriber) for immediate switch
Support of FDT Frame Applications and major Engineering Tools
Suitable for use in hazardous areas bull Ex approval for Zone 2
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 13
Product Differentiation FG-200 vs FG-110
The major differences of the FG-200 are The device has 2 Ethernet ports More performance and more precise timing thank to a FPGA-
based design Bus-powered Medium Attachment Unit
bull The FG-200 draws 10 mA per fieldbus segment (FF-H1) Designed to work with STAHL carrier and power conditioners ndash
for easy wiring and reduced commissioning efforts Optimized redundancy
bull Configuration exchange for redundancy is now done via high speed serial port instead of Ethernet
FG-110 (EOL)
FG-200
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 14
Perfect plugampconnect solution - power supply and connectors to fieldbus segments without cabling
Makes assembly and wiring much easier ndash easy replacement of units
Accommodates 1-2 FG-200 (simplex or redundant) and up to 8 power conditioners

epGate PN (successor of FG-260)
EtherNetIP to PROFINET Gateway
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 17
Connect PROFINET IO devices to EtherNetIP
o Use Case A device manufacturer who propose a solution (System) with PROFINET and sell it
to a country where EtherNetIP Controllers are preferred (ie USA)
Challenge
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 18
epGate PN acts as a gateway between an EtherNetIP scanner (eg a Rockwell PLC) and PROFINET devices
Upper RJ45 socket connects to the EtherNetIP PLC bull Simple data access for Rockwell PLCs thanks to AOI support
The local PROFINET controller connects through the lower RJ45 socket to an underlying network of PROFINET devices
bull Simultaneous access to multiple PROFINET devices bull Access to Siemens PLCs per I-Device support
Transparent exchange of data (process application) bull Webserver allows for monitoring of current state and diagnostics bull Configuration tool is included
epGate PN - Overview
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 19
Functional replacement only ndash no direct replacement bull Small installed base vs drawbacks of drop-in replacement bull epGate PN has a new device type for clear distinction
epGate PNrsquos PROFINET configuration requires Common Configurator V223 or later
bull exchange FG-260 by epGate PN in PROFINET project bull rebuild project bull download project to epGate PN
Update your Rockwell PLC project bull Import epGate PNrsquos EDS file bull import newly created add-on instruction bull adjust program where wanted bull recompile and download to PLC
FG-260 to epGate PN migration
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 20
Many products available simply act as slaves on both networks (ProSoft HMS Moxa hellip)
This requires a PROFINET PLC that supplies data actively to the gateway Direct integration of PROFINET devices is impossible
The only competitor known using PROFINET controller in the gateway is Hilscher No add-on instruction for easy integration into Rockwell PLCs PLC program cannot automatically use generated symbolic from the configured PROFINET devices

Target Markets
o Process Automation with Hybrid sites (EtherNetIP
and PROFINET)
Target customers o System integrators who want to integrate PROFINET
components or subsystem into Rockwell centric automation systems Main focus on North American markets
o Machine builders using PROFINET technology who want to connect there products to EtherNetIP operated plants worldwide Main focus on European markets

Gateway Benefits
Installation with a gateway
Only one Ethernet cable is mandatory between the control system and the gateway
One gateway can have several fieldbus segments
More flexibility and easy enhancement of a plant thank to an useful user interface
Wireless is possible between the control system and the gateway
Traditional installation
The fieldbus (cables) must be usually connected to the control system (PLC) and requires more cabling efforts
Need of one interface card in the control system per fieldbus segment
Adding or configuring a new device is difficult and time consuming
Use of Wireless is limited between the control system and the field devices

Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 20
Many products available simply act as slaves on both networks (ProSoft HMS Moxa hellip)
This requires a PROFINET PLC that supplies data actively to the gateway Direct integration of PROFINET devices is impossible
The only competitor known using PROFINET controller in the gateway is Hilscher No add-on instruction for easy integration into Rockwell PLCs PLC program cannot automatically use generated symbolic from the configured PROFINET devices

Many products available simply act as slaves on both networks (ProSoft HMS Moxa hellip)
This requires a PROFINET PLC that supplies data actively to the gateway Direct integration of PROFINET devices is impossible
The only competitor known using PROFINET controller in the gateway is Hilscher No add-on instruction for easy integration into Rockwell PLCs PLC program cannot automatically use generated symbolic from the configured PROFINET devices

epGate PN acts as a gateway between an EtherNetIP scanner (eg a Rockwell PLC) and PROFINET devices
Upper RJ45 socket connects to the EtherNetIP PLC bull Simple data access for Rockwell PLCs thanks to AOI support
The local PROFINET controller connects through the lower RJ45 socket to an underlying network of PROFINET devices
bull Simultaneous access to multiple PROFINET devices bull Access to Siemens PLCs per I-Device support
Transparent exchange of data (process application) bull Webserver allows for monitoring of current state and diagnostics bull Configuration tool is included

COMPLETE HIGHLY FUNCTIONAL COST EFFICIENT
FG-200
Four channel host interface on the infrastructure level in-between Host systems (ModbusTCP or HSE) and FF-H1 field devices
bull Either via a DCSPLC Host system the Softing configuration tool or an engineering tool
Fast redundancy (FF-H1 segments) bull Cyclic communication (Publisher - Subscriber) for immediate switch
Support of FDT Frame Applications and major Engineering Tools
Suitable for use in hazardous areas bull Ex approval for Zone 2
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 13
Product Differentiation FG-200 vs FG-110
The major differences of the FG-200 are The device has 2 Ethernet ports More performance and more precise timing thank to a FPGA-
based design Bus-powered Medium Attachment Unit
bull The FG-200 draws 10 mA per fieldbus segment (FF-H1) Designed to work with STAHL carrier and power conditioners ndash
for easy wiring and reduced commissioning efforts Optimized redundancy
bull Configuration exchange for redundancy is now done via high speed serial port instead of Ethernet
FG-110 (EOL)
FG-200
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 14
Perfect plugampconnect solution - power supply and connectors to fieldbus segments without cabling
Makes assembly and wiring much easier ndash easy replacement of units

epGate PN (successor of FG-260)
EtherNetIP to PROFINET Gateway
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 17
Connect PROFINET IO devices to EtherNetIP
o Use Case A device manufacturer who propose a solution (System) with PROFINET and sell it
to a country where EtherNetIP Controllers are preferred (ie USA)
Challenge
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 18
epGate PN acts as a gateway between an EtherNetIP scanner (eg a Rockwell PLC) and PROFINET devices
Upper RJ45 socket connects to the EtherNetIP PLC bull Simple data access for Rockwell PLCs thanks to AOI support
The local PROFINET controller connects through the lower RJ45 socket to an underlying network of PROFINET devices
bull Simultaneous access to multiple PROFINET devices bull Access to Siemens PLCs per I-Device support
Transparent exchange of data (process application) bull Webserver allows for monitoring of current state and diagnostics bull Configuration tool is included
epGate PN - Overview
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 19
Functional replacement only ndash no direct replacement bull Small installed base vs drawbacks of drop-in replacement bull epGate PN has a new device type for clear distinction
epGate PNrsquos PROFINET configuration requires Common Configurator V223 or later
bull exchange FG-260 by epGate PN in PROFINET project bull rebuild project bull download project to epGate PN
Update your Rockwell PLC project bull Import epGate PNrsquos EDS file bull import newly created add-on instruction bull adjust program where wanted bull recompile and download to PLC
FG-260 to epGate PN migration
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 20
Many products available simply act as slaves on both networks (ProSoft HMS Moxa hellip)
This requires a PROFINET PLC that supplies data actively to the gateway Direct integration of PROFINET devices is impossible
The only competitor known using PROFINET controller in the gateway is Hilscher No add-on instruction for easy integration into Rockwell PLCs PLC program cannot automatically use generated symbolic from the configured PROFINET devices
Benchmarking
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 21
Target Markets
o Process Automation with Hybrid sites (EtherNetIP
and PROFINET)
Target customers o System integrators who want to integrate PROFINET
components or subsystem into Rockwell centric automation systems Main focus on North American markets
o Machine builders using PROFINET technology who want to connect there products to EtherNetIP operated plants worldwide Main focus on European markets

o ModbusTCP bull Switch connected to the network (ModbusTCP)
2 Then we need a PNProfibus DP or ModbusTCP to Profibus DP Gateway o Example PB Link PN IO from Siemens
o All DP Slaves seen as one PROFINET IO device
3 Finally need of a DPPA-Link device + coupler (Siemens) o All PROFIBUS PA Slaves seen as a single DP Slave

Connect PROFINET IO devices to EtherNetIP
o Use Case A device manufacturer who propose a solution (System) with PROFINET and sell it
to a country where EtherNetIP Controllers are preferred (ie USA)
Challenge
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 18
epGate PN acts as a gateway between an EtherNetIP scanner (eg a Rockwell PLC) and PROFINET devices
Upper RJ45 socket connects to the EtherNetIP PLC bull Simple data access for Rockwell PLCs thanks to AOI support
The local PROFINET controller connects through the lower RJ45 socket to an underlying network of PROFINET devices
bull Simultaneous access to multiple PROFINET devices bull Access to Siemens PLCs per I-Device support
Transparent exchange of data (process application) bull Webserver allows for monitoring of current state and diagnostics bull Configuration tool is included
epGate PN - Overview
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 19
Functional replacement only ndash no direct replacement bull Small installed base vs drawbacks of drop-in replacement bull epGate PN has a new device type for clear distinction
epGate PNrsquos PROFINET configuration requires Common Configurator V223 or later
bull exchange FG-260 by epGate PN in PROFINET project bull rebuild project bull download project to epGate PN
Update your Rockwell PLC project bull Import epGate PNrsquos EDS file bull import newly created add-on instruction bull adjust program where wanted bull recompile and download to PLC
FG-260 to epGate PN migration
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 20
Many products available simply act as slaves on both networks (ProSoft HMS Moxa hellip)
This requires a PROFINET PLC that supplies data actively to the gateway Direct integration of PROFINET devices is impossible
The only competitor known using PROFINET controller in the gateway is Hilscher No add-on instruction for easy integration into Rockwell PLCs PLC program cannot automatically use generated symbolic from the configured PROFINET devices

o Use Case A device manufacturer who propose a solution (System) with PROFINET and sell it
to a country where EtherNetIP Controllers are preferred (ie USA)
Challenge
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 18
epGate PN acts as a gateway between an EtherNetIP scanner (eg a Rockwell PLC) and PROFINET devices
Upper RJ45 socket connects to the EtherNetIP PLC bull Simple data access for Rockwell PLCs thanks to AOI support
The local PROFINET controller connects through the lower RJ45 socket to an underlying network of PROFINET devices
bull Simultaneous access to multiple PROFINET devices bull Access to Siemens PLCs per I-Device support
Transparent exchange of data (process application) bull Webserver allows for monitoring of current state and diagnostics bull Configuration tool is included
epGate PN - Overview
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 19
Functional replacement only ndash no direct replacement bull Small installed base vs drawbacks of drop-in replacement bull epGate PN has a new device type for clear distinction
epGate PNrsquos PROFINET configuration requires Common Configurator V223 or later
bull exchange FG-260 by epGate PN in PROFINET project bull rebuild project bull download project to epGate PN
Update your Rockwell PLC project bull Import epGate PNrsquos EDS file bull import newly created add-on instruction bull adjust program where wanted bull recompile and download to PLC
FG-260 to epGate PN migration
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 20
Many products available simply act as slaves on both networks (ProSoft HMS Moxa hellip)
This requires a PROFINET PLC that supplies data actively to the gateway Direct integration of PROFINET devices is impossible
The only competitor known using PROFINET controller in the gateway is Hilscher No add-on instruction for easy integration into Rockwell PLCs PLC program cannot automatically use generated symbolic from the configured PROFINET devices

Product Differentiation FG-200 vs FG-110
The major differences of the FG-200 are The device has 2 Ethernet ports More performance and more precise timing thank to a FPGA-
based design Bus-powered Medium Attachment Unit
bull The FG-200 draws 10 mA per fieldbus segment (FF-H1) Designed to work with STAHL carrier and power conditioners ndash
for easy wiring and reduced commissioning efforts Optimized redundancy
bull Configuration exchange for redundancy is now done via high speed serial port instead of Ethernet
FG-110 (EOL)
FG-200
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 14
Perfect plugampconnect solution - power supply and connectors to fieldbus segments without cabling
Makes assembly and wiring much easier ndash easy replacement of units
Accommodates 1-2 FG-200 (simplex or redundant) and up to 8 power conditioners

epGate PN (successor of FG-260)
EtherNetIP to PROFINET Gateway
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 17
Connect PROFINET IO devices to EtherNetIP
o Use Case A device manufacturer who propose a solution (System) with PROFINET and sell it
to a country where EtherNetIP Controllers are preferred (ie USA)
Challenge
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 18
epGate PN acts as a gateway between an EtherNetIP scanner (eg a Rockwell PLC) and PROFINET devices
Upper RJ45 socket connects to the EtherNetIP PLC bull Simple data access for Rockwell PLCs thanks to AOI support
The local PROFINET controller connects through the lower RJ45 socket to an underlying network of PROFINET devices
bull Simultaneous access to multiple PROFINET devices bull Access to Siemens PLCs per I-Device support
Transparent exchange of data (process application) bull Webserver allows for monitoring of current state and diagnostics bull Configuration tool is included
epGate PN - Overview
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 19
Functional replacement only ndash no direct replacement bull Small installed base vs drawbacks of drop-in replacement bull epGate PN has a new device type for clear distinction
epGate PNrsquos PROFINET configuration requires Common Configurator V223 or later
bull exchange FG-260 by epGate PN in PROFINET project bull rebuild project bull download project to epGate PN
Update your Rockwell PLC project bull Import epGate PNrsquos EDS file bull import newly created add-on instruction bull adjust program where wanted bull recompile and download to PLC
FG-260 to epGate PN migration
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 20
Many products available simply act as slaves on both networks (ProSoft HMS Moxa hellip)
This requires a PROFINET PLC that supplies data actively to the gateway Direct integration of PROFINET devices is impossible
The only competitor known using PROFINET controller in the gateway is Hilscher No add-on instruction for easy integration into Rockwell PLCs PLC program cannot automatically use generated symbolic from the configured PROFINET devices

Target Markets
o Process Automation with Hybrid sites (EtherNetIP
and PROFINET)
Target customers o System integrators who want to integrate PROFINET
components or subsystem into Rockwell centric automation systems Main focus on North American markets
o Machine builders using PROFINET technology who want to connect there products to EtherNetIP operated plants worldwide Main focus on European markets

epGate PN (successor of FG-260)
EtherNetIP to PROFINET Gateway
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 17
Connect PROFINET IO devices to EtherNetIP
o Use Case A device manufacturer who propose a solution (System) with PROFINET and sell it
to a country where EtherNetIP Controllers are preferred (ie USA)
Challenge
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 18
epGate PN acts as a gateway between an EtherNetIP scanner (eg a Rockwell PLC) and PROFINET devices
Upper RJ45 socket connects to the EtherNetIP PLC bull Simple data access for Rockwell PLCs thanks to AOI support
The local PROFINET controller connects through the lower RJ45 socket to an underlying network of PROFINET devices
bull Simultaneous access to multiple PROFINET devices bull Access to Siemens PLCs per I-Device support
Transparent exchange of data (process application) bull Webserver allows for monitoring of current state and diagnostics bull Configuration tool is included
epGate PN - Overview
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 19
Functional replacement only ndash no direct replacement bull Small installed base vs drawbacks of drop-in replacement bull epGate PN has a new device type for clear distinction
epGate PNrsquos PROFINET configuration requires Common Configurator V223 or later
bull exchange FG-260 by epGate PN in PROFINET project bull rebuild project bull download project to epGate PN
Update your Rockwell PLC project bull Import epGate PNrsquos EDS file bull import newly created add-on instruction bull adjust program where wanted bull recompile and download to PLC
FG-260 to epGate PN migration
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 20
Many products available simply act as slaves on both networks (ProSoft HMS Moxa hellip)
This requires a PROFINET PLC that supplies data actively to the gateway Direct integration of PROFINET devices is impossible
The only competitor known using PROFINET controller in the gateway is Hilscher No add-on instruction for easy integration into Rockwell PLCs PLC program cannot automatically use generated symbolic from the configured PROFINET devices

Connect PROFINET IO devices to EtherNetIP
o Use Case A device manufacturer who propose a solution (System) with PROFINET and sell it
to a country where EtherNetIP Controllers are preferred (ie USA)
Challenge
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 18
epGate PN acts as a gateway between an EtherNetIP scanner (eg a Rockwell PLC) and PROFINET devices
Upper RJ45 socket connects to the EtherNetIP PLC bull Simple data access for Rockwell PLCs thanks to AOI support
The local PROFINET controller connects through the lower RJ45 socket to an underlying network of PROFINET devices
bull Simultaneous access to multiple PROFINET devices bull Access to Siemens PLCs per I-Device support
Transparent exchange of data (process application) bull Webserver allows for monitoring of current state and diagnostics bull Configuration tool is included
epGate PN - Overview
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 19
Functional replacement only ndash no direct replacement bull Small installed base vs drawbacks of drop-in replacement bull epGate PN has a new device type for clear distinction
epGate PNrsquos PROFINET configuration requires Common Configurator V223 or later
bull exchange FG-260 by epGate PN in PROFINET project bull rebuild project bull download project to epGate PN
Update your Rockwell PLC project bull Import epGate PNrsquos EDS file bull import newly created add-on instruction bull adjust program where wanted bull recompile and download to PLC
FG-260 to epGate PN migration
Copyright copy 2018 Softing Industrial All rights reserved 20
Many products available simply act as slaves on both networks (ProSoft HMS Moxa hellip)
This requires a PROFINET PLC that supplies data actively to the gateway Direct integration of PROFINET devices is impossible
The only competitor known using PROFINET controller in the gateway is Hilscher No add-on instruction for easy integration into Rockwell PLCs PLC program cannot automatically use generated symbolic from the configured PROFINET devices

Many products available simply act as slaves on both networks (ProSoft HMS Moxa hellip)
This requires a PROFINET PLC that supplies data actively to the gateway Direct integration of PROFINET devices is impossible
The only competitor known using PROFINET controller in the gateway is Hilscher No add-on instruction for easy integration into Rockwell PLCs PLC program cannot automatically use generated symbolic from the configured PROFINET devices

Many products available simply act as slaves on both networks (ProSoft HMS Moxa hellip)
This requires a PROFINET PLC that supplies data actively to the gateway Direct integration of PROFINET devices is impossible
The only competitor known using PROFINET controller in the gateway is Hilscher No add-on instruction for easy integration into Rockwell PLCs PLC program cannot automatically use generated symbolic from the configured PROFINET devices
