Technical Information
Fieldgate FXA320, FXA520
Gateways / Interfaces
Gateway for Remote Monitoring of Sensors and Actuators
via Web Browsers
Application
Fieldgates enable remote monitoring of connected 4...20
mA sensors/actuators, either via telephone lines
(analogue), Ethernet TCP/IP or mobile communications
(GSM). The measured data is web compatible (HTTP,
HTML, WML) and can, therefore, be analysed in the
web browser without additional software.
For remote diagnosis and remote configuration, HART
sensors are suitable in conjunction with FXA520.
TI369F/00/en
Their integrated time control make Fieldgates suitable for
all applications in which more distant measuring points
have to be sporadically analysed. Configurable
monitoring of limit values with alarm signalling via e-
mail or SMS make it possible to react directly to changes
on-site.
The supported data transfer in XML format allows for
simple further analysis and processing of the measured
data, through to integration into complex planning
systems.
Your benefits
• Communication via modem, Ethernet or GSM/GPRS
• Uses standard Internet protocols
(TCP/IP, http)
• Simple configuration with web browsers without
additional software
• Visualisation via Internet/Intranet in the web browser
and/or WAP mobile phone
• Limit value monitoring with alarm signalling via e-mail
or SMS
• Synchronised time stamping of all measured values
• XML data transfer allows for simple further processing
of the measured data
FXA320
• Optionally, four binary inputs with event counter
function and frequency measurement
• Two 4...20 mA current inputs with integrated loop
power supply
• Selectable active/passive current input (for 2-wire and
4-wire devices)
• Integrated communication resistor (250 Ω) for
configuration via Commubox
FXA520
• Web server for remote monitoring of up to
30 measuring points
• Up to 4 measured values can be displayed per device
(HART)
• Intrinsically safe version [EEx ia]IIC for applications in
hazardous areas
• Remote diagnosis and remote configuration of
connected HART devices
• Applicable in 4...20 mA SIL 2 Loops (IEC 61508)

  • Page 3: Applications

    Fieldgate FXA320, FXA520 Applications Vendor Managed Inventory By using Fieldgates to interrogate tank or silo levels remotely, suppliers of raw materials can provide their regular customers with information about the current supplies at any time and, for example, account for them in their own production planning.
  • Page 4: Communication Interface

    Fieldgate FXA320, FXA520 Communication interface Internet connection If the Fieldgate dials into the Internet permanently via an Internet Service Provider, it is also possible for several users to access the Fieldgate simultaneously when using an analogue/GSM version. The other advantage is that the respective user does not require a modem as a receiver at the work place.
  • Page 5: Mobile Communications Network (Gsm)

    Fieldgate FXA320, FXA520 Mobile communications If there is no Ethernet or telephone network available in the Fieldgate's operating location, the data can also be network (GSM) transferred via GSM using the mobile communications network. These communications versions can be configured as point-to-point connections or as freely accessible via the Internet/Intranet.
