Well it is me again.
The units NIOT-E-TIB100-GB-RE and NIOT-E-TIJCX-GB-RE are sold via Hilscher's official sales channel like we sold all our other products since years, until we came out with netPI which is distributed through Amazon. So all the other products I am speaking about are not supported through this "netPI forum" but through hilscher hotline service instead once a unit was bought.
But anyway some words about these two units. Both indeed include a netX100 chip, which is like netX51 in netPI in 99% of all cases used in Industrial Ethernet Slave mode for PROFINET and EtherNet/IP communications to masters. This mode we call active mode, since netX100 is actively participating the network.
But there is also a function implemented which we call passive mode or listening mode. In this mode the gateways work different and are not actively participating the network and just listening to all the ethernet telegrams on one port and feed them through untouched to the second. I would say that we basically have included a subset of functions of our netANALYZER product: https://www.hilscher.com/products/produc...g-re/?cats=
With both gateways - once licensed - you are able to use them as analyzer while configuring them with filters for all Ethernet frames of interest. The gateways put those data to an internal OPC UA server from where you can read them with any clients from remote through two extra, non Industrial Ethernet ports.
But for these two "normal" hilscher product you get information and support from your local representative. They will give you information about them including pricing.
Thx
Armin
