GWY-00 Operations

GWY-00 is a Serial# Protocol Converter / Data sharer for devices like PLCs, Inverters, Controllers etc. Gateway has two serial ports that connect with two different devices. Gateway communicates with a device to get the information required by the other device. Our Windows® based Gateway setup software makes it easy to configure the protocol converter. After choosing which protocol to use for each port, you program the Gateway to transfer the data blocks. Using a simple spreadsheet format, you simply program the Gateway to fetch a specified number of registers or bits from one device and transfer them to the other. Powerful software allows you to have all of the information transfers done continuously or allows the PLC to control which blocks of data is to be transferred.  # Serial Protocols are protocols for PLCs, Invertes, PID Controllers, Energy Meters, Weighing Scales and Flow Meters etc. System requirements for Gateway Setup Software are: Programming software is common for the entire Gateway family.     Windows Version   : Microsoft Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP Processor             : PENTIUM or higher Hard disk Space    : 5 MB or more Mouse                  : Required RAM                     : 16 MB or more Display resolution  : 800 X 600 (VGA) or better Display colors       : 16 bit color  Other Accessories required for the GWY-00 configuration and to use in actual application: 1.
