Solidot GW6L Series slave protocol Conversion module Introduction

In a production line, different devices may use different communication protocols, and direct signal exchange between devices is not possible. The Solidot GW6L series Slice slave protocol conversion modules provide a solution to this problem: as slave modules, they can form a Gateway Kit with other gateway slave modules to transmit I/O data bidirectionally between two masters, enabling data conversion between protocols. The modules cover five mainstream industrial protocols — EtherCAT, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, CC-Link and Modbus TCP — corresponding to the five slave modules GW6L-A0, GW6L-B0, GW6L-C0, GW6L-D0 and GW6L-G0, enabling data interoperability between devices using different protocols and improving the scalability of field devices.

The GW6L series products feature high real-time performance, optimized system configuration, simplified field wiring and improved system reliability, helping customers effectively solve pain points in production line design such as long development cycles, high development costs and protocol barriers caused by multi-protocol interconnection.

Product Advantages

1. Supports mutual conversion between multiple mainstream protocols, covering five protocols: EtherCAT, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, CC-Link and Modbus TCP. The modules corresponding to any two protocols can be combined in pairs to convert between the two protocols.

2. Supports bidirectional I/O data transmission between two protocols. The data exchange length supports 256/128/64 bytes, with high real-time performance.

3. Convenient and simple configuration, strong master adaptability, and support for mainstream master platforms such as EtherCAT, PROFINET and EtherNet/IP.

4. Compact size and easy installation. Standard DIN35 mm rail mounting, with Push-in terminal blocks for quick and easy wiring.

5. The innovative channel indicator design is closely aligned with the channels, making the channel status clear at a glance, easy to inspect and easy to maintain.

Product model

Naming Convention and Combination Applications

The module model consists of "GW6L + bus protocol code + module type + (data exchange length)". GW6L is the series name of the slave protocol conversion module. Bus protocol codes: A: EtherCAT, B: PROFINET, C: EtherNet/IP, D: CC-Link, G: Modbus TCP; 0 indicates a slave module; L256/L128/L64 correspond to data exchange lengths of 256/128/64 bytes respectively.

Two slave modules can be joined together to form a gateway kit. The kit model is the combination of the two module models. For example, GW6L-A0B0 (L256) is composed of GW6L-A0 and GW6L-B0, enabling bidirectional data exchange between an EtherCAT Master and a PROFINET master; GW6L-A0D0 (L256) is composed of GW6L-A0 and GW6L-D0, enabling bidirectional data exchange between an EtherCAT Master and a CC-Link master Station. The data exchange length of the kit can be selected as 256/128/64 bytes; the specific option is determined by the combined modules.
