Hi,

I have a customer who would like to add 4 extra PF VFDs with DNet interface on an S5 system.

Can someone please recommend a good gateway?

Thanks,

If your S5 has Profibus, then look up a Profibus Slave-DeviceNet Master X-Gateway from Anybus:

It's time to think about upgrading the S5.

I like the Hilscher gateways: they do a Profibus DP Slave / DeviceNet Master.

But I agree that the AnyBus X-Gateway is a proven architecture and solid performer.
