Specifications

Description

The RS-485/Ethernet Interface Converter (IC) is designed to combine Modbus devices of various types into a single network.

Data transmission between devices uses the standard ModbusTCP (from the Ethernet side) and ModbusRTU (from the RS-485 side). Support for these protocols by many SCADA packages expands the possibilities for building industrial automation systems. The result is a very simple and effective way to connect various devices to a PC or PLC on an Ethernet network.
The converter supports up to 10 TCP sockets. This means that up to 10 devices in the Ethernet network can simultaneously exchange information with the converter.

The ModBus RS-485/Ethernet interface converter has the capability to branch the RS-485 (ModbusRTU) network into several smaller ones, each connected through a separate IC RS-485/Ethernet converter, combining them into a single Ethernet network. Thus, it is possible to connect significantly more devices. With a connection to the global Internet network, the possibility of access and control of connected equipment from anywhere with Internet access opens up.
This converter, connected to the Ethernet network, provides much higher throughput than individual RS-485 networks, which in turn increases the polling frequency of device parameters.

Device configuration is done through a web interface, accessible via any standard web browser, such as Internet Explorer.
Each Modbus TCP/RTU converter Modbus TCP/RTU has a unique Ethernet IP address that must be specified on the PC or PLC when configuring the connected system.

FAQ

Questions and answers

What is the RS-485/Ethernet Interface Converter used for?
The converter is designed to integrate various types of Modbus devices into a single network using Modbus TCP (Ethernet) and Modbus RTU (RS-485) protocols.
How many devices can be connected simultaneously through the Converter?
The device supports up to 10 TCP sockets, allowing simultaneous connection of up to 10 devices in an Ethernet network for data exchange.
How to configure the Converter?
Configuration is done via a web interface that can be accessed using a standard web browser, such as Internet Explorer.
Is it possible to expand the RS-485 network using this converter?
The converter supports branching RS-485 networks into several smaller ones and combines them into a single Ethernet network, which allows increasing the number of devices in the system.
What are the advantages of using Ethernet through this Converter compared to RS-485?
The Ethernet bandwidth used by the converter is much higher than that of individual RS-485 networks, which increases the polling frequency of device parameters.
