Seamlessly connect EtherNet/IP and Modbus communication (RS-232C, RS-422/485) through a gateway.
■ Product Overview: A communication conversion gateway unit designed to seamlessly connect industrial equipment and devices that only have an existing Modbus interface to an EtherNet/IP network for centralized management. ■ Basic Performance: Adopts a mechanism that transfers the serial communication protocol from the host to this unit for communication, allowing flexible adaptation to various Modbus device communication specifications. ■ Specifications & Connections: Available in two models, one supporting RS-232C and the other supporting RS-422/485, both featuring an e-CON (6-pin) connector for reliable and smart wiring in the serial section. Up to 8 target devices can be connected. ■ Benefits of Implementation: The compact housing design allows for easy retrofitting to existing equipment. It consolidates the wiring of various measurement instruments and pumps, which can often become cluttered, into a neat single line.

Applications/Examples of results
■ Integration of Existing Modbus Devices with EtherNet/IP - Connect older vacuum pumps, temperature controllers, flow meters, pressure gauges, etc., which do not have Ethernet ports and only support Modbus (RS-232C, RS-422/485), to higher-level systems in a consolidated manner. ■ Unification of Wiring for Different Protocols - Utilize the ability to freely transfer serial communication protocols from the host to unify the wiring of various Modbus-compatible peripheral control devices and measurement terminals that are complexly mixed in manufacturing equipment. ■ Space-Saving Installation on Existing Panels - Take advantage of the compact size of 56×120mm and DIN rail mounting structure to install in the limited available space within already operational control panels, integrating complicated communication cable wiring into a single Ethernet cable. ■ Built-in Special Protocols and Custom Development - Pre-install communication protocols that are compatible with specialized measurement serial devices used on-site or proprietary circuit boards, and develop and operate dedicated communication conversion units as custom orders for the site. ■ Global Equipment Development in Harsh Environments - Noise shielding around high-voltage power lines and inverters, support for -10 to 60°C, and compliance with CE standards.
