Does your facility use different brands of PLC’s?  A common headache is trying to get them to communicate to exchange data when they use different protocols.  How about when they are also 500 meters apart?  Enter ELPRO Technologies Wireless Gateways.  These devices transfer a PLC’s database into ELPRO's database, transmit it over-the-air to a remote Gateway, which then transfers it to the second PLC’s database.  In this fashion, a Modbus PLC can communicate to a Profibus PLC, or an Allen Bradley PLC, etc.  Perfect for linking legacy PLC’s to newer equipment!
