Project Introduction

Traditional field-bus networks were, and some still are, isolated

automation systems which require extensive local monitoring and
routine on-site maintenance. To increase productivity and reduce
operating costs, many manufacturers and plant operators have
deployed industrial Ethernet to converge remotely isolated field-bus
systems for centralized control and monitoring.Many advanced
industrial automation systems have deployed gateways to efficiently
bridge field-bus I/O devices to Ethernet based PLCs, switches to
connect PLCs and SCADA terminals at remote control centers, to
reduce operating costs and improve production efficiency of
expanding.

System Requirements
High performance ensures high network capability
Seamless site-to-center communications;
RJ45 Ethernet port for PLC connection.
Four-Faith Solution
Deploying a smart and reliable industrial control system requires an optimized
industrial network design to help ensure a high-performance, efficient, and
flexible platform for daily operation. Four-Faith provides a selection of
networking products for optimization of PLC network performance and
management, including industrial Ethernet 3G/4G gateways designed
specifically for EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, and Modbus TCP applications.
Four-Faiths industrial Ethernet routers offer industry-leading redundancy (<
20s recovery time), fast booting capability (< 1 min start-up time), full status
parameters, and flexible topology to ensure high network reliability,
availability, manageability, and flexibility of industrial control systems. FourFaiths industrial Ethernet gateways are easy-to-configure for quick
integration of legacy field devices to control networks, and easy-to-maintain
for rapid monitoring and troubleshooting of field-bus communications.
