The universal interfaces "miface" are used for converting serial interfaces to fieldbus interfaces.

-Robust and suitable for industrial applications
The universal interfaces of the model series "miface" are equipped with a robust aluminum housing for industrial use.

-Simple installation and status check
The mechanical design is made for top-hat rail mounting. Additionally, freely accessible DIP switches are also included, e.g. for selecting the serial interface.The current operating status is indicated via status LEDs.

-Different protocol converters
Depending on the model, the interfaces have a fieldbus interface which transmits the data to be transferred in the required format.

Interface models:
-miface PN with converter from Profinet to RS232, RS485 or RS422
-miface PB with converter from Profibus to RS232, RS485 or RS422
-miface EN with converters from Ethernet to RS232, RS485 or RS422

-Effective data communication
The interfaces operate on the communicator principle: Profinet IO RT, Profibus-DP and Ethernet TCP/IP fieldbus data are converted into an electrically isolated serial interface (RS232, RS485 or RS422).
