GWA is an automation controller based on STM32. It is built in two versions, equipped with STM32F4 or STM32F7. It features a wide spectrum of interfaces :
- 2 x RS232/RS485
- 2 x CAN, Ethernet
- USB OTG
- 8 x 24v Inputs
- 8 x 24v high current Outputs
- 2 x encoder interfaces
- 2 x PWM outputs
The system can be programmed using standard C/C++ language, by means of standard development systems as KEIL, IAR or AC6, or optionally with the IEC-61131 automation language, using LogicLab SoftPLC.
Tecnologix GWA is a multifunction Industrial Automation system, conceived to operate as a programmable I/O device and as a communication gateway to industrial fieldbuses and Cloud.
The Gateway communicates with the most popular standard fieldbuses, as:
- CANopen, DeviceNet, J1939 (CAN based)
- Modbus/TCP, Profinet, Ethernet PowerLink, EtherCAT (Ethernet based)
- Modbus RTU, Profibus (RS485 based)
Ethernet, WiFi and 4G interfaces allow sharing process data with the Cloud via IoT standard protocols such as CoAP, MQTT or LWM2M.
The User can control all the digital and analog I/O interfaces by writing their own automation procedures, by means of the integrated LogicLab IEC-1131 SoftPLC or directly using the C/C++ language.
