Modbus Master/Slave to IEC60870-5-101 Slave Communication Module

5102-MCM3-101S

Product Description

The ProLinx family Modbus Master/Slave to IEC60870-5-101 Slave communications module (5102-MCM3-101S) creates a powerful connection between devices on a Modbus network and an IEC 101 master device. The module is a stand-alone DIN rail-mounted protocol gateway that provides one IEC 101 Slave configurable serial port and three Modbus Master or Slave configurable serial ports.

The Modbus (MCM) protocol driver supports Master and Slave implementations of the protocol. All Modbus serial ports are individually configurable, providing a very powerful and flexible host or device interface solution.

The IEC 60870-5-101 Slave (101S) protocol driver supports Slave implementations of the protocol. The serial port is user-configurable, providing a very powerful and flexible host or device interface solution.

Product Applications

The MCM-101S modules are the ideal solution for the many applications where Modbus connectivity can be used to integrate an IEC 101 master device into a system. The IEC60870-5-101 Slave gateway is a powerful module designed with Slave support, enabling easy connection to an IEC 101 master device. In combination with the Modbus device support, the module provides a very powerful interface to the many Modbus devices which are in use in the industrial marketplace today. Applications for the module are found in most industries, especially the Manufacturing, Oil and Gas, Electrical Power and Food Processing.

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 Protocol Specifications

The Modbus driver provides access to an internal database of 4000 registers (words), with extensive support provided for both the Master and the Slave implementations of the protocol. The serial port(s) on the gateway can be individually configured to support the Modbus protocol (Master or Slave, RTU or ASCII, Baud Rate, etc).
