UNIGATE IC is a complete Single Chip Siemens MPI solution in a 32 pin DIL (dual
in-line) package. With a space of 45 x 25 mm the Unigate IC
contains all required components: microcontroller, Flash, RAM,
Profibus/MPI controller and bus interface components, e. g. optocoupler
and bus driver. The UNIGATE IC is to be connected to the
microprocessor of your design or it can be operated Stand-Alone.
The Unigate IC Siemens MPI is certified and proven through testing
with applications and many commercially available Siemens MPI
masters. The integrated microprocessor handles the complete
Siemens MPI data traffic and removes the burden from the attached
processor. The protocol between the Unigate IC and the attached
processor is handled using a Script. This Script is generated
with the free PC-tool Protocol Developer and it is optimally
adjusted to the final product and the requirements of the
Siemens MPI Master. The hardware and software interfaces of the
Unigate IC modules are standardized, thus they are
interchangeable without changing any hardware or software.
Volume and OEM pricing available.
CUSTOM PROTOCOLS:
The Unigate IC Siemens
MPI allows for the quick development of custom applications using its powerful
scripting language. Scripts are written using the
Protocol Developer Tool. If you need a custom protocol and
scripting is not for you, Grid Connect offers scripting services at reasonable
rates (call for details).
