Programmable Gateways BLxx-PG-EN-V3
2 General function description
2.1 Function description
The programmable BL20/BL67 gateways can be used as autonomous PLCs or as decentral PLCs in a
network interconnection for a fast preprocessing of signals. The programmable gateways allow
autonomous control of applications without higher-level control.
The Ethernet ports serve as interface for programming, configuration and field bus communication.
Thanks to the multiprotocol Ethernet technology, the device can be used as slave with PLCs or PC
based systems with PROFINET, EtherNet/IP™ or Modbus TCP. In addition to that, the device can be
operated as Modbus TCP-master.
Gateways are the head component of a BL20 station. The electronic modules communicate over the
internal module bus with the gateway and can be configured independently of the fieldbus proto-
col.
