Modbus TCP/IP, 'C' Programmable Serial, 4 Port
5202-MNET-ADM4
Product Description
The ProLinx 'C' Programmable Application Development Module to Modbus TCP/IP creates a powerful platform for developing and running 'C' applications to communicate with Modbus TCP/IP networks and devices. The gateway provides one Ethernet port and four serial ports.
The Modbus TCP/IP (MNET) driver can be used to interface many different protocols into the Schneider Electric Quantum family of processors as well other software solutions supporting the protocol. The MNET driver supports Client connections as well as Server connections.
The ADM functionality allows the module to be programmed to accommodate devices with unique serial protocols. The module includes General Software Embedded DOS 6-XL. This operating system provides DOS compatibility along with real-time multitasking functionality. DOS compatibility allows user applications to be developed using standard DOS tools, such as DigitalMars C++ and Borland compilers.

Functional Specifications
Internal Database
The ProLinx module contains an internal database that can be configured as needed to handle your data transfer.
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.
Modbus TCP/IP Protocol Specifications
The Ethernet driver interfaces with a common internal database in the module. This permits the sharing of data across many different protocols and networks.
Modbus TCP/IP Port Specifications
Server
The MNET module supports server functionality using the reserved Modbus TCP/IP service port 502, as well as service port 2000 to support the TCP/IP encapsulated Modbus protocol that is supported by several HMI manufacturers. Services supported in the module permit client applications (i.e., HMI software packages, Quantum processors, etc.) to read from and write to the module's database.
Data in the module's internal database is accessible for read and write operations by any node on the network supporting the MBAP (service port 502) or MNET (service ports 2000/2001) TCP/IP protocols.
There is no configuration of the MNET module required to implement Server functionality other than setting up the network and database parameters in the user configuration file.

ADM Specifications
The ADM API Suite is provided to allow software developers to access the serial ports without needing detailed knowledge of the module's hardware design. The ADM API Suite consists of two distinct components: the Serial Port API and the ADM API.
Applications for the ADM module may be developed using industry-standard DOS programming tools and the appropriate API components.
