Controlador de gateway Datalogic FBC9080-N100

The Datalogic FBC9080-N100 fieldbus converter provides industrial fieldbus connectivity for PowerScan 9xxx scanners and any device with an RS-232 interface. Housed in a robust IP65-rated enclosure and fitted with circular M12 connectors and external antennas, the gateway is built for demanding industrial Ethernet environments and supports direct integration without requiring external switches thanks to its dual-port switch design.

Advantages

The FBC9080-N100 integrates barcode scanners into PLC systems using PROFINET/IO, while also offering a standard Ethernet TCP/IP socket for bi-directional point-to-point communication. Its IP65 protection, M12 connectors and integrated dual-port switch reduce installation complexity and improve reliability in industrial settings. Configuration is simplified through Datalogic’s Aladdin™ software tool.

Suitable for

• Integrating PowerScan 9xxx scanners with PROFINET/IO PLC systems
• Connecting RS-232 devices to industrial Ethernet networks
• Installation in dusty or wet industrial environments (IP65)
• Applications requiring a compact gateway with built-in switching
