The IMG-110T also provides PLANET Modbus Gateway utility tool and supports PLANET Smart Discovery utility to help network administrator to easily get the current IP subnet address information or change the IP subnet address setting of the IMG-110T. It provides a remote web management and telnet Interface for efficient remote network management.
The IMG-110T makes the connected industrial Modbus RTU/ASCII equipment become IP-based facilities and is able to connect to the Modbus TCP/IP network via its R422/485 serial interface and 10/100BASE-TX RJ45 Ethernet port. ■ Slave mode supports up to 16 TCP master connections The CAS Gateway can either be a Client, reading and controlling values from a slave, or a Server, serving data to a Modbus Master.
■ Master mode supports up to 32 slave TCP connection requests The CAS Modbus RTU driver allows the CAS Gateway to transfer data to and from devices via a serial RS485 connection using the Modbus protocol.
The module can be used to create a pair-connection application (as well as serial-bridge or serial. In addition, the effective integration solution of Modbus Ethernet devices, Modbus serial equipment or multi Modbus master / slave in an industrial hybrid network brings the following: The tGW-700/GW-2200i module is a Modbus gateway that enables a Modbus TCP/UDP host to communicate with serial Modbus RTU/ASCII devices through an Ethernet network, and eliminates the cable length limitation of legacy serial communication devices.
The advantage of having the IMG-110T is to assist users to build an industrial environment between the Modbus TCP/IP Protocol and the Modbus RTU/ASCII Protocol easily, thus offering an application solution to the industrial control equipment without Ethernet ports and the industrial control equipment can only control through an industrial PC workstation or industrial control panel. This is a multifunctional serial Modbus gateway, which integrates Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU and Modbus ASCII protocol. The RS422/485 serial interface of the IMG-110T provides the Modbus RTU/ASCII operation mode and various baud rate options to meet the demand of integration between the Modbus TCP/IP Protocol, Modbus RTU Master/Slave Protocol and Modbus ASCII Master/Slave Protocol. The IMG-110T can be a conversion bridge between the industrial equipment with the Modbus RTU/ASCII Protocol and the administrator workstations that run the Modbus TCP/IP Protocol. Modbus TCP/IP for Modbus RTU/ASCII Network Environment Deployment It features a wide operating temperature range from -40 to 75 degrees C and a compact but rugged IP40 metal housing. To complete the industrial automation environment application solution, PLANET has announced a first industrial level 1-port RS422/485 Modbus Gateway - IMG-110T, a bridge that converts between Modbus TCP/IP Protocol and Modbus RTU/ASCII Protocol. PLANET industrial management level products with the Modbus TCP/IP Protocol offer flexible network connectivity solution for industrial automation environment. Moreover, the industrial IT SNMP network is upgraded to the Industrial automation Modbus TCP/IP network. PLANET has added the Industrial Modbus TCP/IP Protocol to industrial management level products to provide its easily-integrated industrial management level products with SCADA/HMI system and other data acquisition systems in factory floors. The IMG-110T can operate as a bridge between the multi-industrial TCP/IP master equipment and the industrial RTU/ASCII slave equipment in a Modbus TCP/IP networking environment to control the industrial RTU/ASCII slave equipment via the multi-industrial TCP/IP master equipment.Įconomic Solution for Industrial Modbus TCP/RTU/ASCII Network Integration
Multi Modbus TCP/IP Master to RTU/ASCII Slaves The IMG-110T can act as a bridge between the industrial RTU/ASCII master equipment and the multi-industrial TCP/IP slave equipment in a Modbus TCP/IP networking environment to control multi-industrial TCP/IP slave equipment via the industrial RTU/ASCII master equipment. Of course the data retrieved won't be any newer but in many systems this isn't the main issue, which is whether the Master can work its way around the whole network in the time it has.RTU/ASCII Master to Multi Modbus TCP/IP Slaves When it is done the right way, it can work really well because for example if the real Slave takes 300ms to respond (some slaves take much longer especially for a loooong block read at 9.6k) this can be concealed from the Masters which can have their poll fulfilled at 115k and with a minimal response time. The majority of people are looking for a box for $100 or so and at that level there is no solution, except where somebody has done one for a common application.
(also exists as a Eurocard) but it is always a bit of a custom software job and consequently costs the client 2k-3k. This has been done many times but it really depends on how much money this solution is worth. You can have multiple Masters on Modbus but you need a "box in the middle" whichġ) acts as a single Master for the Slave(s) and polls them periodically and stores the responses, andĢ) provides each of the Masters with a dedicated comms port and on that port it emulates the real Slave(s).
