ModGate Plus 113 connects one Modbus serial line to a network running TCP/IP. Hardware Characteristics With its metal case, a wide temperature range and a flexible DC power supply, the ModGate Plus classifies as an industrial-strength device. The product line is based on a state-of-the-art RISC processor, providing a cost-effective design and low power consumption. The serial port can be configured to physically use RS232, RS422 or RS485, allowing the utilisation of multiple Modbus Slaves on a single serial line. Operational Benefits The ModGate Plus devices make Modbus operations independent of distance and OS platforms; they can be accessed and controlled via Internet and VPN connections. The messages received on the network are sent to the destination serial line; replies from serial port are sent back across the network and vice versa. A ModGate Plus device functions automatically, whether a Modbus Master is on a serial port or on the TCP/IP network. Modbus Master Multiplexing is implemented as an extension to the standard: Several Masters can connect to ModGate Plus using Modbus/TCP whilst slaves on serial lines may answer requests from multiple Masters. The configuration of ModGate Plus is done via browser. The user interface is based on modern web technologies to allow for an easy navigation through the configuration options provided. Furthermore, UPnP provides a simple and standardized way to find the Gateway in the network. ModGate Plus devices can be ordered with an embedded module for WLAN 802.11b/g/n.   Ethernet Interface Speed/Type 100Mbps/10Mbps Auto-detecting Connector RJ45 (8P8C) 8 pin LEDs Power, WLAN, Ready, Ethernet Link / Speed >Back to top         Serial Interface No. of Ports/Type 1 × RS232/422/485 selected by software Connector DB-9 male Protection 16kV ESD surge protection Operating Modes RS232 RS422 full duplex              (120Ω on/off) RS485 4 wire, full duplex    (120Ω on/off) RS485 2 wire, half duplex   (120Ω on/off) Configuration Software sets operating mode and RS422/485 termination No High/Low biasing resistors needed Signals RS232: TxD,RxD, RTS,CTS, DTR,DSR, DCD, RI, GND RS422: Tx+/-, Rx+/-, GND RS485 4 wire: Tx+/-, Rx+/-, GND RS485 2 wire: Data+/-, GND RS485 Data Direction control ARTc (Automatic Receive Transmit control) Data bits 7, 8 Stop bits 1, 2 Parity None, Even, Odd Baudrate ModBus: up to 115.2 kbps RS232: 200 bps to 921.6/1000 kbps (physical) RS422/485: 200 bps to 3.7Mbps (physical) LEDs TxD/RxD for each port >Back to top         Software Installation DIP switches set the device to DHCP or a defined fixed IP Address to be contacted via WEB Browser Operating mode Promiscous Mode Messages received from the network are sent to the serial port, messages from the serial port are sent to the connected network host.
