fiwip_img FIP-UDP

   General Presentation

FIPUDP is a software sniffer gateway that monitors each FIP/WorldFIP bus frame and pass it to Ethernet (UDP/IP).

Available as a daemon (GNU/Linux OS) or service (Windows OS), the system is completely passive and invisible for the FIP network. All the FIP frames are numbered and timestamped before being sent over Ethernet.

Exoligent also sells a turnkey solution by providing a small industrial PC called FiWiP that integrates the necessary hardware and software for the gateway.

It is possible to simply administer and setup the gateway remotely via any administration tool. Once done, no additional operator intervention is required and the data flow is transmitted continuously.
