The NT50-DP-EN is a high-performance industrial protocol conversion gateway developed by Hilscher, a leading provider of industrial communication solutions. As a key component in industrial automation networks, it enables seamless bidirectional data exchange between PROFIBUS DP devices and Ethernet-based systems (such as Modbus TCP/IP or PROFINET). This gateway acts as a critical "translation bridge," resolving communication barriers between legacy PROFIBUS-based equipment and modern Ethernet-enabled control systems. It is widely applied in manufacturing plants, process industries (chemical, oil & gas), and smart factory environments where integration of heterogeneous industrial networks is required.

Key Functions
Multi-Protocol Conversion: Facilitates seamless data translation between PROFIBUS DP (master/slave modes) and Ethernet-based protocols, including Modbus TCP/IP and PROFINET. Supports both cyclic (real-time control) and acyclic (configuration/diagnostics) data exchange with a maximum transmission latency of <2ms, ensuring responsiveness in time-critical applications.
Dual Interface Configuration: Equipped with dedicated industrial-grade interfaces:
PROFIBUS DP: 1x 9-pin D-Sub connector (compliant with EN 50170), supporting baud rates from 9.6 kbps to 12 Mbps (auto-negotiation).
Ethernet: 2x RJ45 ports (10/100 Mbps), enabling flexible network topologies (star or daisy-chain) and simplified wiring.
Redundant Power Supply: Features dual 24V DC power inputs with reverse polarity protection, ensuring uninterrupted operation even if one power source fails. Supports a wide voltage range of 18-30V DC to adapt to fluctuating industrial power conditions.
Flexible Configuration & Diagnostics: Configurable via Hilscher’s SYCON.net software, allowing users to map data points, set communication parameters, and import GSD/GSDML files for quick integration. Built-in diagnostics tools provide real-time status monitoring (link quality, error rates) with visual LED indicators (power, protocol activity, faults) for on-site troubleshooting.
Industrial-Grade Reliability: Designed to withstand harsh industrial environments with robust EMC protection (compliant with EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61000-6-4), ensuring stable operation in noisy electrical environments.
Compatibility
Supported Protocols:
PROFIBUS DP (master and slave modes, compatible with DP V0/V1).
Compatible Systems: Integrates with major industrial control systems, including Siemens SIMATIC, Rockwell Allen-Bradley, and Schneider Electric Modicon platforms.
Incompatibility: Not suitable for non-industrial protocols (e.g., standard TCP/IP for office networks) or other fieldbuses (e.g., DeviceNet, CANopen) without additional adapters.
