The Anybus .NET gateways enable real-time data from industrial machinery to be presented to .NET-based IT applications. This means that .NET programmers can get data directly from a PLC system on the other side of “the edge” to be used in applications for statistics, analysis or maintenance. The gateways are available for Profibus and Profinet. The product can be used for simple transfer of KPI values, advanced messages with structured data types or ultra-fast transfer of I/O data for big data.
