Changing or Replacing UNIGATE® EL by UNIGATE® CX

The table below describes which points need to be observed when changing or replacing UNIGATE® EL by UNIGATE® CX-FE or UNIGATE® CX-ModTCP. In addition to the information on the hardware and software, this also contains information on the EPLAN files so that the documentation can be adapted accordingly if necessary.

	UNIGATE® EL		UNIGATE® CX		Note
					UNIGATE® CX: UNIGATE® CX is only available in housing colour Grey.
Protocol			(*see note)		UNIGATE® CX: UNIGATE CX-FE-FB2 and UNIGATE CX-ModTCP-FB2 contains the protocols UDP, TCP server, TCP client, Modbus TCP server and Modbus TCP client encapsulation. The latter is comparable to the '"Universal Modbus TCP client encapsulation"' protocol that was available in the UNIGATE EL. Note: FB2 stands for the 2nd fieldbus.
Script			(*see note)		UNIGATE® CX: If your own, customer-specific script is used in the UNIGATE® EL, it must first be checked to what extent this can be used in a UNIGATE® CX.
Software
Konfigurationssoftware WINGATE					UNIGATE® CX: The configuration file (*.gwc) of UNIGATE® EL can not be loaded in UNIGATE® CX-FE or UNIGATE® CX-ModTCP.
