GW 4

The Gateway GW 4 interface converter is used to convert the CAN bus protocol to one of several available bus or interface protocols. A single GW 4 connected to the CAN network will transmit data from the available controls on the network to an external device, such as a PC or PLC. Up to eight Woodward GCP-20/30 or MFR-2/3 control units and seven LS 4 circuit breaker controls can be connected to one GW 4. Please see the individual control product manuals for a listing of the particular addresses that will be transmitted.
The GW 4 is able to adapt the physical interface for different transmission protocols including the transmission rates, data formats, and operations. Thus it is possible to view the data with an HMI package as well as configure a broad range of Woodward controls by using the LeoPC1 software program.
