A gateway and method are disclosed for connecting a data source system to an IT system, having real-time capable middleware and non-real-time capable middleware on a common operating system. An application for communicating via a network protocol is executed on the non-real-time capable middleware which comprises a framework, at least one hardware interface via which the data source system is connected to the real-time capable middleware, at least one hardware interface via which the IT system is connected to the non-real-time capable middleware, and a software interface configured to allow communication between the real-time capable middleware and the non-real-time capable middleware. The gateway is configured to provide, via the framework, predefined software interfaces for individual components of the data source system, which components can be connected to the real-time capable middleware, or for components of the IT system.
