When you buy an RTA protocol gateway, you’re buying more than a piece of hardware. You’re getting a protocol partner with over 35 years of experience in industrial communication and a dedicated team of protocol experts who stand behind every deployment.

RTA delivers value that you can’t get anywhere else:
• Direct access to our team of Enginerds who are passionate about industrial communication
• Live, US-based support without opening support tickets or 24-hour wait times
• Same-day shipping and always-in-stock inventory that keeps projects moving
• A 5-year warranty that covers everything from the dog eating your gateway to letting out the magic black smoke confusing AC with DC power
• Protocol expertise that offloads the burden of managing the complexities of industrial protocols and communication standards from your engineering team

Don’t just buy a box. Partner with the industrial protocol experts. Explore RTA protocol gateways: https://bit.ly/4qX5wEo

Customizing your machine’s internal architecture for every customer’s preferred PLC brand drains engineering time and bloats production costs.

Whether a customer specifies Allen-Bradley, Siemens or Schneider, re-engineering electrical schematics and rewriting communication routines for every build isn't sustainable.

A modular gateway approach lets you standardize your core machine design while delivering seamless connectivity to any control system.

RTA protocol gateways streamline machine builds for OEMs:
• Standardize your internal hardware and keep your core machine architecture 100% identical on every build
• Adapt to any end-user PLC specification simply by dropping in a pre-configured protocol gateway module
• Eliminate time-consuming custom protocol development and complex driver setup
• Simplify spare parts inventory and field support with a single, repeatable integration framework

Build your machine once and deliver it to any control system without reinventing the wheel.

Connecting field devices directly to your PLC solves a communication problem but can introduce a system vulnerability.

When there is no physical or logical separation between your controller and the factory floor, a failure at the edge automatically becomes a failure at the center.

RTA protocol gateway modules deliver reliable data translation with built-in hardware protection:
• Isolate sensitive PLC networks against ground loops, static and electrical power surges
• Create a natural network boundary between your main control PLC and field-level device networks by terminating direct socket connections at the hardware layer
• Block unauthorized network traffic from reaching controller memory by exposing only specific data tags
• Prevent rogue field devices from bringing down your main control network during electrical or network anomalies

Don't expose your core PLC logic to raw plant-floor hazards. Translate your data and protect your control network with a single drop-in solution.

Writing custom ladder logic just to monitor network status and parse error codes is a waste of PLC memory and engineering time.

When custom communication routines break, you end up writing even more code just to figure out why. Why spend hours reinventing diagnostic tools when a protocol gateway handles that out of the box?

RTA protocol gateways come equipped with built-in diagnostic tools that make troubleshooting effortless:
• View real time connection status, transaction counters and error flags using just a standard web browser
• Get immediate visual confirmation on the plant floor using hardware LEDs without pulling out a laptop
• Pass diagnostic tags directly to your controller to trigger targeted HMI alarms without custom parsing code

Stop writing code just to troubleshoot code. Rely on built-in diagnostics to keep your system reliable and your lines running.

We’ve all seen it: a custom protocol routine written by an engineer five years ago who is no longer with the company. It works fine until a device trips, the network drops or an unrelated code change breaks communication.

Suddenly, you’re stuck trying to decipher thousands of lines of legacy code during an active outage.

The real cost of custom protocol development isn’t just the time spent writing it. It’s being locked into tribal knowledge and custom code that your team doesn’t fully understand for the next decade.

RTA protocol gateway modules eliminate long-term support headaches by standardizing your protocol converter hardware:
• Zero legacy code to troubleshoot and support
• Simple configuration and data mapping that anyone can perform
• Drop-in solutions that don’t require opening a software project or editing logic
• Expert Enginerd support from an experienced protocol partner

Protect your plant floor from legacy code traps. Replace complex logic with a field-proven hardware solution.

Protocol integration projects often stall because they require specialized software skills to write custom routines, ladder logic or function blocks. If that expert isn’t available, commissioning grinds to a halt.

The secret to scaling industrial communication isn’t writing more complex code – it’s eliminating the need for it all together.

RTA protocol gateways eliminate the need for custom program development entirely:
• No proprietary software to learn or purchase
• Simple, browser-based data mapping any technician can perform
• Built-in protocol translation so you don’t have to write, debug and maintain custom code
• Keep projects moving without relying on specialized developers

Put protocol configuration back in the hands of your front-line techs.

How many lines of ladder logic in your controller exist just to divide an integer or scale an analog value?

When field devices send raw analog counts or offsets, programmers often have to build math blocks and scale logic directly inside the PLC program.

RTA protocol gateways handle data transformation at the edge before it ever hits your PLC:
• Apply up to three mathematical functions directly to each data mapping
• Convert raw counts into clean engineering units
• Handle unit conversions and decimal precision scaling automatically
• Deliver clean, structured data straight into your PLC data table

Keep your ladder logic focused on control, not math routines.

Designing custom protocol translation functionality into your PLC ladder logic is a trap. What starts as a quick ladder logic routine usually turns into a major engineering sinkhole.
• Accounting for edge cases requires complex state machines that are painful to design
• Every hour spent writing custom logic is time taken away from process control
• Technicians waste time troubleshooting undocumented logic while you lose money due to unplanned downtime

RTA protocol gateways are simple, drop-in modules that deliver standard features for handshaking and controlled data passing, eliminating the need to customize your PLC logic. You get a robust ready-to-use protocol translator right out of the box.

Your PLC shouldn’t be doing a protocol gateway’s job!

Every line of custom ladder logic or message instruction forces your PLC to spend cycles managing buffers instead of executing real-time control logic.

Offloading protocol conversion to an RTA gateway keeps your system running lean:
• Zero impact on PLC scan times and CPU performance
• No custom instructions, function blocks or logic to write, debug and maintain
• No dedicated background communication tasks cluttering your controller program
• Data arrives directly to your PLC data table, ready for control

Let your controller focus on control. Let the gateway handle the protocol.

Why use a Swiss Army knife when you only need a butter knife?

Multi-protocol gateway solutions sound great on paper until you’re trying to navigate layers of nested setup menus, massive manuals and complex configurations just to connect your devices.

RTA’s one-to-one protocol gateway modules are purpose-built for a single job. That means:
• Dedicated hardware designed specifically for your application
• Straightforward data mapping between protocols
• Easy setup using a clean, browser-based configuration interface
• No overpaying for the protocols you will never use
