Deutschmann Automation, a specialist in industrial data communication based in Bad Camberg, is presenting an embedded version of the new generation of the UNIGATE FALCON protocol converter/gateway series at HANNOVER MESSE 2024 that can be integrated immediately. The compact communication solution UNIGATE FALCON Embedded quickly and easily provides an Industrial Ethernet or fieldbus interface.

The embedded version of the UNIGATE FALCON series can be integrated directly into existing end products as a complete module without a housing. Thanks to the low installation height of around 25 millimetres, the embedded version is also suitable for installation situations where space is limited and where a redesign of the existing electronics is not planned. This embedded solution is also suitable for applications that do not allow a separate or external protocol converter or gateway to be mounted on a top-hat rail or where this is to be avoided.

The UNIGATE FALCON Embedded is mounted via four mounting holes, which also allow individual mounting within the product housing. The position and dimensions of the holes are identical in all bus versions. The module is simply wired within the product, whereby the device configuration or programming can be used. The electronics of the end product do not need to be adapted or changed.

The compact embedded version of the UNIGATE FALCON series can be installed directly in end products without any development effort and is therefore also ideally suited for small series. The ready-to-run solution is intended to significantly optimize the design time and time-to-market of the individual automation solution. The UNIGATE FALCON protocol converter/gateway series has a modular structure with the aim of realizing the best possible solution for the respective application. The possibility of cascading should of course also be retained with UNIGATE FALCON Embedded.
