Wireless Modbus Plus Gateway
6303-WA-MBP
Product Description
The ProLinx Wireless Modbus Plus Gateway creates a powerful wireless connection between devices on a Modbus Plus network. This stand-alone DIN-rail mounted protocol gateway provides one Modbus Plus configurable DB9F port.
The PWP modules offer one-to-one or one-to-many interconnect scenarios. Data is exchanged between devices and/or networks using a shared common database and an efficient but powerful wireless protocol. This common database provides the "backbone" communications for various field devices using different networks.
The Modbus Plus protocol driver exists in dual Modbus Plus Ports (MBP). The driver can be configured on an individual port basis as either a master or a slave to interface with other Modbus Plus devices. The Modbus port is fully configurable, providing a great deal of flexibility.
Product Applications
Applications using the Modbus Plus Wireless Gateway can be found in many industrial sectors and in the following applications
-
Foreign device data concentrator
-
Pipelines and offshore platforms
-
Food processing
-
Mining
-
Pulp and paper
Functional Specifications
Internal Database
The ProLinx module contains an internal database that consists of areas for application data, status information, and configuration information.
The internal database is shared between all ports on the module and is used as a conduit to pass information from a device on one network to one or more devices on another network.
Application Data Area
The data area is used to store and retrieve data by the protocol drivers and for data exchange between protocols. The database is used as a source for write commands to remote devices and holds data collected from the remote devices. Commands defined in the configuration file (stored in the configuration data area) control how the data is to be handled in the database.
Status Data Area
This area is used to store error codes, counters, and port status information for each port.
Configuration Data Area
This area contains module configuration information such as port configuration, network information, and command configuration. This configuration file is downloaded to, or uploaded from, this area.
Modbus Plus Port Specifications
The Modbus Plus protocol driver exists in dual Modbus Plus Ports (MBP). The driver can be configured on an individual port basis as either a master or a slave to interface with other Modbus Plus devices.
