One advantage of Industrial Ethernet is the huge number of available protocols and mecha-
nisms. Route type 1 allows to route IP packets from office network to EPL network. So it is possi-
ble to access every node over a protocol that is IP based like HTTP or FTP. For remote
maintenance web interfaces can be implemented on every node to allow easy configuration or
display any kind of process values. FTP is a well-known transfer protocol that allows EPL nodes
to retrieve configuration or firmware from locations outside the EPL network. The SDO applica-
tion that communicates directly over UDP is able to access EPL network.
The EPL Gateway allows very flexible and cost-effective solutions. It is also possible to add addi-
tional functionality. The powerful hardware has reserves for all kinds of applications. Please con-
tact us for additional information and references.
The following schematic gives an overview about the EPL Gateway modules:
Actual following modules are implemented on EPL Gateway:
IP Routing
(Router Type 1) This module is part of the EPL specification routing type 1. The configuration is
taking place over a web interface that can be access over the generic Ethernet side. The actual
web interface allows to setup routing and NAT table. The Web interface is organized like object
dictionary for easy handling. It is possible to enable and disable NAT functionality. Configuration
parameters are stored in flash when the EPL Gateway is shut down.
Web Interface
This module allows graphical configuration of NAT and routing tables. It directly depends on
object dictionary set of router type 1. For additional information please refer to chapter 3.
SDO
The SDO module is implemented from our partner Port. It is an interface for the EPL configura-
tion tool "EPL Device Monitor". The Device Monitor can connect to Gateway and send com-
mands over TCP to a separate SDO stack. This stack generates an SDO session from TCP
command and access a node in the EPL network. It is also possible to access the EPL side of
the gateway.
Analyzer
The Analyzer module collects the EPL traffic and sends statistics about the EPL network to the
connected PC.
