Woodhead GATEway is more than a standard tunneling gateway. This is the first solution that allows connecting devices over up to 14 different Ethernet and Serial protocols using a single hardware platform.

Open on the major industrial manufacturer vendors, the Woodhead GATEway supports multi-messaging that enables it to communicate and interoperate.

The Woodhead GATEway embeds a powerful processor running a real-time OS kernel. Through its on-board Database (32 Kbits / 32 Kwords), the GATEway performs all communication tasks to exchange data between equipment by running automatic Read/Write cyclic functions and allows receiving unsolicited Read/Write requests. The Woodhead GATEway includes a software package running under Windows XP or 2000 environments able to setup the GATEway by using a remote TCP connection. The package includes a set of powerful tools to perform features such as: Ethernet and Serial protocols configuration Cyclic functions setup and monitoring Graphical Network Diagnostic tools for Ethernet Process data access utilities Upload/Download of GATEway data for extended Diagnostics
