Remote Access Gateway IGW/900

The Linux Device Server IGW/900 has been created especially for industrial use. That is why, thanks to its compact dimensions, it can be mounted on a DIN-rail and / or in a switchgear cabinet. Its many connection types allow a wide range of possible applications.

With the help of the IGW/900, an adequate Linux computer can be installed in the switchgear cabinet. Apart from computing and control tasks, you can bind devices that are not Ethernet-able with serial or CAN-interfaces in TCP/IP networks without any important expenditure. Depending on the demanded coverage and transfer rate, the mode of the second serial interface can be chosen alternatively. An easily accessible RJ45 socket on the front face allows to link the IGW/900 to a TCP/IP Ethernet Network.

The CAN-connection, which is in the same way realized with screws on both serial interfaces, allows a conductor size up to 2 x 1.5 mm².By the use of the second serial interface in the RS485 mode it is possible to implement an adequate 2-wire bus system in a TCP/IP network and connect them to each other.

Always up to date

For a comfortable monitoring the IGW/900 has 3 port-LEDs, which e.g. signalizes data transfer over the attached wires. A 4th LED informs you about the available power supply.

Powerful Engine

The heart of the IGW/900 forms the DIL/NetPC DNP/5280 with 32-bit Motorola Coldfire processor with 66 MHz clock rate. It offers enough power reserve for voluminous applications. Thanks to its free programmability, the IGW/900 is most appropriate for multifunctional applications; the devices which have serial interfaces can be rerouted on TCP/IP communication. So these devices can be accessed via IP-Network as easily as if it is connected directly to a PC.

CANopen Support

In cooperation with port GmbH, we offer the CAN-Analyzer software CAN-REport for the IGW/900 Linux Device Server. The CAN-REport extends this universal device server into a capable analysis and diagnostic tool for CAN/CANopen systems. Through the combination of IGW/900 and the CAN analyzer CAN-REport, the user now has access to a capable and versatile tool for analyzing and implementing CAN-based networks. The link between both components is based on the client/server model over standard TCP/IP interfaces. The separation makes it possible to use the entire application across TCP/IP networks. It can be used for remote maintenance without additional or modified software.
The optional programming of CAN-REport - by means of a simple script language that includes samples - makes the configuration for various applications and the interpretation of customer-specific protocols uncomplicated for the user. Here you can read further information about CAN-REport.
