The gateway communicates with process control or asset management systems via a modern Ethernet interface. In addition to a standard RJ45 socket for coaxial cables, the Ethernet interface also provides an optional connection for fiber optic cables, enabling the integration of optical networks which are common in wide-ranging plants due to great communication distances.

Featuring a redundant power supply, the unit ensures high availability. A Power over Ethernet supply is possible, making investments in parallel power supply and data transfer cables unnecessary.
The gateway is suitable for ambient temperatures between -40 and +65 °C, thus qualifying for use in virtually all world regions.
