WS Series - Ideal for remote management of Ethernet/LAN based equipment The Netbiter® WS100 and WS200 communication gateways enable remote management of industrial equipment from any standard web browser. The WS series contains on-board configurable web pages that can easily be configured with the many pre-made modbus templates Netbiter WS gateways connect to any equipment which supports serial Modbus-RTU and Ethernet Modbus-TCP equipment. The WS range is especially suited for equipment that needs to be accessed via LAN applications. The Netbiter WS100 and WS200 both have support for remote connection over Ethernet, GSM/GPRS, as well as through external telephone modems and GPS tracking devices. Data logging Data logging to onboard FLASH and web based visualization of historical data on trend graphs. Useful to detect early warnings of malfunctioning equipment. The parameters to be logged can easily be selected by the user on the built-in web pages in the gateway.         Alarm management Alarms and events can easily be configured on the web pages to be sent by email, SMS, SNMP and Modbus TCP. Configuration of alarm conditions and whom to send the alarm is configured through the onboard web pages. All events are stored in an alarm list.         Local Web based data access The WS100 gives the user the possibility to easily read and write data to the remote equipment. Through a Modbus device template system the configuration is easy and the user can choose what data to appear on the on board web pages.

Netbiter WS200
Netbiter WS200 is suitable for wireless communication using mobile networks (GSM/GPRS) but is also often used in a buildings and factories to provide local web based monitoring and control of remote equipment by Ethernet LAN.

It also has support for an external GPS receiver which makes it possible to used for applications where the geographical position is important, like rental fleets of machines etc.

The WS200 has a built-in web server that is used for all configuration and data presentation through normal web browsers. No extra Windows tools or HTML editors are needed.

Transparant Modbus RTU to Modbus TCP gateway
In addition, the WS200 contains a transparent gateway between Modbus RTU (Serial) and Modbus TCP (Ethernet). This feature is useful when connecting serial Modbus devices to supervisory SCADA tool or Ethernet based PLC’s using the exisiting LAN line. The SCADA tools will be able to access any Modbus data at the remote site using standard Ethernet LAN cabling. This can be done in parallel with browsing the built-in web pages.

WS200 Modbus Device Templates There are device templates for Netbiter WS100 that will make it even easier to configure it for your application. A template describes the Modbus equipment connected to the Netbiter WS200. Upload the template, set the Modbus address and you will immediately be able to show value, write to registers, trig alarms and log parameters. You don’t have to know the actual register address, just select from a drop down box the parameter that should be used. In the Netbiter WS200 there is a built in template editor, so you easily can be build your own template for your Modbus devices. You can modify existing templates to match your needs.

There are many exisiting device templates from some of todays leading industrial manufacturers with equipment such as, I/O's, Genset, Energy Meters, UPS, HVAC, Inverters and PLC's. WS200 Device templates
