NEW GATEWAY MANAGER AVAILABLE FROM ASCON
Ascon Corp. recently introduced the DeltaDue model DX DIN rail mount Gateway Manager. Although not required to be a part of the control or acquisition system, this optional DX module provides several unique add-on functions. The DX module can store a backup copy of all connected DeltaDue module individual configurations and operator parameters. All DeltaDue modules feature "hot swap" capability and true single loop integrity. Thus, when a replacement DeltaDue module is inserted in the system, the DX module can instantly download all configuration and operator parameters to the new module without operator or engineer intervention.
