 GWY-300 Operations
GWY-300 is a Protocol Converter / Data sharer for devices like PLCs, Inverters, Controllers etc. GWY-300 has a serial port that connects to a serial device and a CAN port which connects to CAN BUS. GWY-300 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, user can program the Gateway to transfer the data blocks. Using a simple spreadsheet format, user can 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 user to transfer all the information continuously or allows the PLC to control the transfer of data from selected blocks.
