Various fieldbus protocols are integrated and configured directly with the central engineering tool in APROL, the CaeManager.

Rule-based gateway editor in the CaeManager

To simplify driver configuration, a rule-based Gateway Editor is available in the CaeManager.

Gateway I/Os can be used like hardware I/Os

When processed further, the input and output data (gateway I/Os) supplied by the fieldbus modules and interface cards have the same complete support as conventional I/Os from System 2005 or X20 system modules.

Any protocol using ANSI C programming

Implementing any types of protocols (scale interfaces, counter interfaces, etc.) is also easy since ANSI C can be used to completely program the fieldbus modules and interface cards.
