Smartlink HW-DP
Asset Management Access Point
for PROFIBUS DP networks

smartLink HW-DP

IIoT Gateway connecting to legacy networks, enabling Industry 4.0 connectivity

Connection of PROFIBUS and HART devices to HART IP, OPC UA, MQTT and FDT/DTM.

smartLink HW-DP provides PLC independent access to PROFIBUS DP Networks. It enables Plant Asset Management for field devices using standard industry tools and allows using HART IP as a standardised format. smartLink HW-DP is a compact tool that can be integrated without interfering with the operation of existing installations. Thus, it enables Industry 4.0 connectivity for new and existing PROFIBUS DP networks.
