Opening new horizons with smart services
FactoryCast Gateway combines all the benefits of Internet technology and the values of Telemecanique®. It provides an all-in-one, cost effective solution by integrating all the network interfaces, a RAS/Router function and a customizable Web server. Compact and standalone, FactoryCast Gateway provides::

• Transparent gateway - Connect your Modbus® RTU devices to the TCP/IP infrastructure and make them accessible directly from information system applications (MES, ERP, Supervision, etc.)
• RAS/Remote access - Monitor and program your Modbus devices remotely by modem connection (RTC, GSM, etc.) or by Internet/Intranet (VPN), all in total security
• Configurable web portal - Benefit from pre-defined or fully customizable web interface pages plus Email notification for advanced remote control, remote monitoring, diagnostics and maintenance

With the introduction of Web Designer™ software for FactoryCast Gateway products, Schneider Electric provides a single software development tool that will be compatible for an entire family of Transparent Ready web-based solutions. Now, using this downloadable software design tool, developers can independently configure and maintain complete web-based functionality and solutions without the hardware being present. Also, modification and testing can be completed with the built-in simulator capabilities. For more information, click on the links under Get More Info.

For customers who want to add remote maintenance server functions in their machines, the embedded web server provides simple Web browser access to maintenance information with no need for specific maintenance tools. It includes ready to use web pages for module configuration, diagnostics and data monitoring; you can also add custom web pages for any Modbus device's data.
