FactoryCast™ Gateway provides an all-in-one, cost-effective solution by integrating all the network interfaces, a RAS/Router function and a customizable web server. Compact and standalone, FactoryCast Gateway provides::

• Transparent gateway - Connect Modbus® RTU devices to the TCP/IP infrastructure and make them accessible directly from information system applications (MES, ERP, Supervision, etc.)
• RAS/Remote access - Monitor and program Modbus devices remotely by modem connection (RTC, GSM/GPRS or PSTN, etc.) or by Internet/Intranet (VPN), all in total security
• Configurable web portal - Benefit from pre-defined or fully customizable web interface pages (built-in SCADA functions) plus Email notification for advanced remote control, remote monitoring, diagnostics and maintenance

For applications requiring remote maintenance server functions, the embedded web server provides simple web browser access to maintenance information with no need for specific maintenance tools. It includes ready-to-use web pages for module configuration, diagnostics and data monitoring, as well as customizable web pages for any Modbus® device data.
