Benefits

Modbus RTU Master - Industrial Ethernet

- Integrate your serial RS-232/485 based industrial devices and equipment to EtherCAT / Ethernet/IP / Modbus TCP or PROFINET control systems without any changes to the device -- Just connect & configure and you're done.
- The communicator can transfer large amounts of data is fast to configure thanks to its' drag and drop web interface and is built on trusted Anybus technology.
- Selectable industrial Ethernet network (Ethernet/IP / Modbus TCP / PROFINET or EtherCAT)
- Web-based drag and drop configuration interface
- -25...+70°C industrial temperature range
- Powered by award winning NP40 network processor

Convert almost any type of serial protocol
- The Communicator can convert both standard serial protocols such as Modbus RTU and proprietary serial request/response or produce/consume based protocols.

Transfer up to 1448bytes of data in both directions
- Demand for more data is constantly growing and the Communicator has been equipped to handle the challenge.
- It can transfer up to 1448bytes from the PLC to the Gateway and 1448bytes from the gateway to the PLC / 2896bytes in total (network dependent).
- Support for up to 150 Modbus commands means even complex configurations with multiple nodes can be handled with ease.

Drag and drop web interface
- To make sure you spend as little time as possible configuring the Communicator -- we have built a graphical and responsive web-based user interface.
- No software needed to be installed -- just open your favorite web browser and get started.

Industrial temperature range
- An industrial operating temperature range of -25...+70°C ensures the Communicator can excel under harsh conditions.

Powered by proven NP40 technology
- The Communicator is built on the award-winning and proven Anybus NP40 network processor.
- With hundreds of thousands NP40s used in Embedded applications across the world -- it is the industry benchmark for reliable industrial communication.

Security switch
- Even with sophisticated security measures human error is still the main cause of security breaches.
- To simplify security -- we added a physical security switch on the Communicator.
- It locks your configuration and prevents any access to the web-based configuration interface.
- Just flip it when your configuration is done and watch the padlock LED on the product light up.

Ethernet configuration port
- With a dedicated Ethernet configuration port you don't need any special configuration cable. In addition it is easy to connect to the gateway to monitor network traffic.

Optimized for DIN-rail mounting
- The slim form factor / front facing network connectors / screw in serial cable connector and the neat cable tie ensure it is fast and simple to install and connect the Communicator.

Diagnostics
- When opening the Communicator web interface you immediately see the status of the PROFINET connection and serial connection.
- You can even see the status of individual serial nodes. It's also equipped with a serial log and an event log for further analysis.

Support
- Sometimes you run into a problem where you need help -- That's why we have included a support page in the user interface with contact information.
- There is even a button to generate a support package to simplify troubleshooting.
