Product Performance

Secure and efficient remote access: Integrates EasyBridge technology and multi-layer defense mechanisms, supports Active Directory single sign-on and token-based two-factor authentication, can establish encrypted connections without additional software, and data transmission security meets industrial standards. Stable and reliable protocol conversion: Multi-protocol parallel processing capability ensures delay-free data interaction between EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP networks, with RPI time as low as 5 ms per connection, meeting real-time control requirements.

Strong system compatibility: Seamlessly adapts to Allen-Bradley full-series controllers including PLC-2, PLC-5, SLC, and ControlLogix, supports direct access via mainstream industrial control software such as Studio 5000, without modifying existing system programs. Outstanding operation and maintenance convenience: SD card enables configuration backup and recovery; web server supports trend variable viewing and data export; remote packet capture function can quickly locate network faults, with Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) ≤ 15 minutes.

Excellent environmental adaptability: Wide-temperature design, enhanced anti-vibration and anti-shock structure, combined with IP20 protection rating, enables continuous operation in dusty, humid and strong electromagnetic interference environments, with Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) ≥ 1.0×10⁶ hours.
