HILSCHER NT 100-RE-DP
Product Overview
The Hilscher NT 100-RE-DP is a protocol converter from the netTAP 100 family, designed for sophisticated protocol conversions. It supports 2-port Real-Time Ethernet to serial, Fieldbus-to-Fieldbus, Real-Time Ethernet to Fieldbus, and Real-Time Ethernet to Ethernet conversion, with slave and master functionality in any combination. It is widely used to integrate PROFIBUS DP slaves into Ethernet-based networks.

Application Scenarios
Machine control, process control, quality control, and medical/scientific systems; conversion between PROFIBUS DP and PROFINET IO, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, Sercos or Open Modbus/TCP.
Cautions
Set DP address DIP switches consistent with the master configuration; enable bus terminating resistors at first/last slave; verify independent 24 V ±10% power supply; use appropriate firmware version for high baud rates.
