Cost Effective Solution to Carry Ethernet Communications over Existing Fieldbus Wiring The Aboundi NetBridge™ products can provide significant savings for applications that are transitioning from an existing Fieldbus to Ethernet. Using the already installed wires can provide significant savings in both material and labor. The NetBridge™ can transmit Ethernet communications over most Fieldbus wire at distances of over 1,000 feet eliminating the need for expensive Fiber Optic Ethernet Cable and Transceivers.
.
Aboundi EtherHighway™ NetBridge can transmit Ethernet over Modbus Plus, Data Highway, GE Genuis, Profibus, ControlNet, InterbusS and many other RS232 or RS485 cables.
Used for either "Point to Point" or Multidrop Applications
This technology is synergistic and compleimentary to existing cabling infrastructure running automation protocols such as EtherNet/IP, ModbusTCP, ProfiNET and others.
