            Industrial Gateway
                    Weidmüller’s solution for interference-free data transmission over long distances
    

Image of Weidmüller’s Industrial Gateway Weidmüller’s single solution for connecting multiple devices across multiple protocols. In systems where the installed base includes industrial Ethernet, serial protocols, or both, establishing communication across devices is critical and upgrading the equipment is not always feasible. The industrial gateway is the most cost-effective way to move data between multiple PLCs and secondary (server) devices. Each has a different protocol, saving users time, money, and the complexities of configuring multiple gateway devices.
