GW-01 Novakon - Protocol Conversion Gateway

<h3>Novakon GW-01 Protocol Conversion Gateway</h3> <p>GW-01 is a rugged DIN-rail industrial gateway designed for protocol conversion and data acquisition between PLC/field devices and higher-level OT/IT systems. It integrates dual Ethernet and isolated serial interfaces to consolidate heterogeneous device communications, normalize data points (tags), and forward telemetry to SCADA/MES/IIoT services through standard industrial interfaces. The embedded iM-Connect software provides a web-based engineering environment to configure device drivers, map registers/variables, validate live data, apply lightweight transformation logic, and manage logging/forwarding workflows.</p> <h4>Interfaces</h4> <ul> <li>Ethernet: 2 × 10/100 ports (segmentation between machine network and uplink)</li> <li>Serial: RS-232, RS-422/485 (legacy PLC ports, instruments, drives)</li> <li>Industrial design: isolation on power/communications, wide temperature operation, conformal coating (implementation-dependent)</li> </ul> <h4>Software: iM-Connect (Engineering & Runtime)</h4> <ul> <li>Driver-based connectivity to PLCs and industrial devices</li> <li>Tag definition, polling/scan configuration, and online monitoring</li> <li>Protocol bridging and northbound publishing (e.g., OPC UA, MQTT, REST patterns depending on project setup)</li> <li>Diagnostics-oriented workflows: connectivity checks, value inspection, and event/log handling</li> </ul> <h4>Supported PLCs / Device Families</h4> <ul> <li>Allen-Bradley / Rockwell: ControlLogix, CompactLogix, MicroLogix, Micro800/850, PLC-5</li> <li>Beckhoff: TwinCAT 2/3 Runtime, TwinCAT 2/3 SoftPLC</li> <li>CODESYS: CODESYS V3</li> <li>Delta: DVP series</li> <li>FATEK: FBs/FBe/B1/B1z</li> <li>Hitachi: MICRO-EH/EHV</li> <li>HUST (CNC): H series (H4D/H6D), A6 series</li> <li>KEYENCE: KV-1000, KV-L20V, KV-nano, KV-3000/5000/5500, KV-7300/7500/8000, KV-NC1EP</li> <li>KOYO (DirectLOGIC): SU/DL series</li> <li>Lust: LustBus ServoC/CDE series</li> <li>Mitsubishi Electric: A/FX/Q series (incl.
