Universal Industrial Gateway

All the Capability. None of the Premium.

Universal Industrial Gateway delivers the protocol flexibility, dual-subnet networking, and multi-device bridging, typically reserved for high-end gateways, without the premium price tag, proprietary software, or changes to your existing PLC program. One device handles up to 12 protocols, ready for your current project and the next one.

Universal Industrial Gateway family

Under the Hood

Different by Design. Here's How.

12 Protocols, in Any Combination

Mix and match up to 12 industrial protocols on a single device. 72 possible combinations — equivalent to owning over 15 typical one-to-one gateways.

Browser-Based Configuration

No clunky software. No licenses to manage. Just a simple UI with built-in contextual help, accessible from any browser.

Multi-Device Bridging

Bridge multiple devices simultaneously across Ethernet and serial — useful when integrating equipment from multiple vendors or generations.

Lower price. More capability. Faster setup.
The UIG handles the same EtherNet/IP ↔ Modbus RTU conversion — without the software, the ladder logic changes, or the cost.
~$350 typical savings
What you're also getting — at no extra cost
7 additional protocols included
Modbus TCP, Modbus ASCII, EtherNet/IP-PCCC, DirectNET, CCM, TI-HostLink, and more are included on the base model at no extra cost.
Upgradeable to 12 protocols
Need DF1, PPI, or S7comm down the road? A purchasable upgrade unlocks the full protocol set on the same hardware, no new device required.
Dual-subnet capable
Bridge across network segments without additional hardware. Both Ethernet ports can operate on separate subnets if needed.
Multiple devices simultaneously
Not limited to a single one-to-one connection. Connect and bridge multiple devices at once across Ethernet and serial.
Redeployable for future projects
A single-protocol gateway is a single-use device. The UIG can be repurposed for a completely different integration scenario, adding value to your investment.
Built-in contextual help
Fully searchable documentation with step-by-step guidance built directly into the configuration UI.

Try it Out For Yourself

Interactive Demo
You're integrating legacy equipment — a MicroLogix 1100 running Modbus RTU needs to share data with a CompactLogix on EtherNet/IP. The Universal Industrial Gateway bridges them in minutes, with no ladder logic changes and no software to install. Try it yourself.
This is one example scenario. The UIG supports up to 12 protocols and can bridge a wide range of device combinations.
Note: This is a simplified, interactive workflow demo. Although a simulated experience, it closely resembles a typical user experience and follows the same core steps.
