Ethernet to DeviceNet Gateway (p/n
AB7603)
Firmware Version 2.02 Now Available (June
2009)
The BridgeWay Ethernet to DeviceNet Gateway
seamlessly connects EtherNet/IP Scanner and Modbus/TCP Master PLCs & HMIs to a DeviceNet Network. The AB7603 provides full DeviceNet Master
(or Slave) functionality allowing connectivity to 63 DeviceNet Slave devices.
In addition to industrial automation protocols, the AB7603 supports
IT protocols such as
SMTP, FTP, HTTP. The AB7603 provides an internal web server to allow remote viewing of
status and data via a web browser and can offer email and file transfer capabilities to enhance your application.
Example Use Cases
The AB7603 can be used as a gateway to connect information or control level networks to device level networks for:
- Remote Programming or Configuration
on your DeviceNet Networks
- Used with a DCS, PLC or HMI to control or
perform data collection on a DeviceNet network via EtherNet/IP
or Modbus/TCP

Important Firmware Update Notes
- This version of the BridgeWay
firmware is now compatible with all versions of RSNetworx and
NetTool-DN-D. Versions of RSNetworx prior to v7.0 and all
versions of NetTool-DN-D as of v3.3.1 do not support ADR data
space larger than 64K bytes. When using early versions of the
configuration tools, the BridgeWay will report an ADR limit of
65024 bytes. The module will be configured correctly by the
tools but the amount of ADR data that can be stored will be
limited. RSNetworx v7.0 and later will support the full 128K of
ADR data space that is now supported by the AB7603 since
Firmware version 2.01.
Other Key Firmware Updates
- Changed the ADR configuration
interface so that it is also compatible with configuration tools
that only support up to 64K of ADR data space. See the Important
Notes section above for more details.
- Updated EDS file to correctly
reflect the output assembly contents and corrected some I/O size
comments.
