Hilscher NT50-MPI Industrial Protocol Conversion Gateway

Hilscher NT50-MPI Industrial Protocol Conversion Gateway

The NT50-MPI is a dedicated industrial protocol gateway developed by Hilscher, a leading global provider of industrial communication solutions. It is specifically designed to enable bidirectional, real-time data exchange between Siemens SIMATIC MPI/DP/PPI networks (classic fieldbus protocols for Siemens S7 series PLCs) and Ethernet protocols (e.g., PROFINET IO, RFC1006). Acting as a "protocol translator," it addresses the connectivity challenge between legacy Siemens PLCs (such as S7-200, S7-300, S7-400) and modern Ethernet-based automation systems (including Siemens TIA Portal, third-party SCADA, and HMI platforms). This gateway is widely used in factory automation, process control, and robotics scenarios—where integrating Siemens MPI/DP/PPI-equipped devices into Ethernet architectures is critical for remote programming, centralized monitoring, and unified control.

Key Functions

  • Siemens-Specific Protocol Conversion:
    Supports seamless bidirectional data translation between Siemens SIMATIC protocols (MPI, DP, PPI) and Ethernet protocols:
    • PROFINET IO: Operates in device mode, compatible with PROFINET RT (real-time) for cyclic I/O data transmission, enabling integration with PROFINET controllers (e.g., Siemens S7-1500, third-party PROFINET PLCs).

    • RFC1006: Implements TCP/IP-based RFC1006 protocol, supporting PG/OP communication (programming download, operator panel data exchange) with Siemens S7 PLCs.
      It handles both cyclic (real-time control signals, latency <15ms) and acyclic (configuration, diagnostics) data, maintaining compatibility with Siemens’ native communication logic.

  • Multi-Connection & Device Support:
    • Parallel processing of up to 16 Ethernet connections, allowing simultaneous access from multiple terminals (e.g., engineering stations, HMI panels, SCADA servers).

    • Supports communication with up to 32 Siemens PLCs (S7-200/300/400) via MPI/DP/PPI, enabling large-scale PLC network integration.

  • Auxiliary Service Support:
    Integrates practical industrial services to enhance usability:
    • DHCP: Automatically obtains IP addresses from a DHCP server, simplifying network configuration.

    • NTP: Synchronizes time with NTP servers, ensuring consistent time stamps for data logs and diagnostics.

    • PG/OP Compatibility: Retains Siemens’ native PG/OP communication functions, supporting programming and debugging of S7 PLCs via Ethernet.

  • MPI/DP/PPI Interface Capabilities:
    Features a 9-pin D-Sub MPI/DP/PPI interface (compliant with Siemens physical layer specifications) with:
    • Optical isolation (2.5kVrms) to prevent electrical noise and ground loops from affecting communication stability.

    • Auto-adaptive baud rates (MPI: 19.2 kbps - 12 Mbps; DP: 9.6 kbps - 12 Mbps; PPI: 9.6 kbps - 115.2 kbps) to match different Siemens PLC network configurations.

  • Ethernet Interface Configuration:
    Equipped with 2x Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet ports (100/1000 Mbps auto-adaptive) that support:
    • MRP Redundancy: Complies with PROFINET MRP (Media Redundancy Protocol) to ensure network fault tolerance, reducing downtime from cable or switch failures.

    • Star/daisy-chain topologies, adapting to different factory wiring layouts.

Compatibility

  • Supported Devices:

    • Siemens PLCs: S7-200 (PPI/MPI), S7-300 (MPI/DP), S7-400 (MPI/DP) series.

    • Ethernet Systems: Siemens TIA Portal (STEP 7, WinCC), third-party PROFINET controllers (e.g., Rockwell Allen-Bradley, Schneider Modicon), SCADA/HMI platforms (Wonderware, Ignition).

  • Configuration Tools:
    Compatible with Siemens STEP 7 (including 64-bit versions) via integrated third-party drivers, and supports web-based configuration for quick parameter setting.

  • Incompatibility:
    Not designed for non-Siemens fieldbuses (e.g., CANopen, DeviceNet) or non-industrial Ethernet protocols. Does not support Siemens S7-1200/1500 native PROFINET without additional configuration.
