Type ME43 Fieldbus Gateway
Brand: Burkert Fluid Control SystemsThe fieldbus gateway of Type ME43 is the central control unit for Bürkert devices (valves, sensors, mass flow controller or displays), which are based on EDIP ("Efficient Device Integration Platform").
The basic version of Type ME43 consists of a fieldbus coupler which transmits the internal CANopen based communication of the Bürkert field devices to industrial standards for Industrial Ethernet and fieldbus.
With the help of the graphical programming, which the ME43 module supports sub-systems can be automated specifically to the customer’s needs. (For e.g. controlled mixing of gases, error monitoring through switching commands, timer switches etc.).
