Features

Data Prioritization: Multiple I/O connections allow RPI to be set for status and/or control data, optimizing Ethernet bandwidth.

Embedded EDS add-on profiles: Simplifies integration and reduces commissioning time.

SD card slot: For storing profiles, which can be used for disaster recovery.

ProSoft Discovery Service: Allows a PC to see the gateway in different subnets and change its default IP address.

Secure module configuration via module switch (V1.04 and later): Ensures security during configuration.

Large data exchange capability: Up to 10,000 16-bit registers can be used to exchange large amounts of data.
