Description

FIPGate Sniffer is a hardware gateway that monitors each FIP/WorldFIP bus frame and pass it to Ethernet (UDP/IP).

Based on an Embedded Linux, the system is completely passive and invisible for the FIP network. All the FIP frames are numbered and timestamped before being sent over Ethernet.

The gateway can be configured and updated remotely via an integrated WebUI tool. Once this is done, no additional operator intervention is required and the data stream is continuously transmitted.
