Ethernet is no longer an option for Industrial Drive Systems – ETHERNET IS A REQUIREMENT. Ethernet is the fastest growing segment of Industrial Networking for one reason – The Market (Your Customers) Loves Ethernet. And the most important Industrial Ethernet protocol is EtherNet/IP™. EtherNet/IP is the Ethernet solution used in the Rockwell Automation architecture and the one GM is requiring for Robots, Welders and other automation devices.

If you customers aren’t asking for Ethernet today, you can almost guarantee that they will tomorrow. Will you be ready? If your biggest competitor introduces an Ethernet enabled drive next month, how long will it take you to respond? If you have time-to-market pressures; if you are unsure about what Ethernet enabled processor is best for your application; if you are concerned about the 6 to 18 month lead time to deliver an Ethernet enabled device; the 6102 Ethernet Gateway is your solution.

Instead of a long, complicated product redesign, any device with a serial port can now have Ethernet/IP and Modbus TCP communications in weeks not months. With a High Speed TTL Serial Interface (230 Kbps), extremely Small Footprint and High Performance 10/100 Mbit Network interface, the 6102 Ethernet Board Level Gateway is your best option for quickly adding EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP communications to your standard product line. Based on a very powerful 55 Mhz ARM7TDMI RISC core the 6102 is the simplest, most powerful and cost effective solution for Ethernet networking.
