Modbus TCP/IP to IEC 60870-5-103 Master Gateway

5201-MNET-103M

Discontinued: No new product for sale. More Info

The ProLinx Modbus TCP/IP to IEC60870-5-103 Master Gateway creates a powerful connection between devices on a Modbus TCP/IP network and an IEC 103 slave device. This stand-alone DIN-rail mounted protocol gateway provides one Ethernet port and one IEC 103 Master configurable serial port.

The Modbus TCP/IP protocol driver can interface many different protocols into Schneider Electric Quantum processors as well other solutions supporting the protocol. The MNET driver supports Client and Server connections, and when coupled with the Web option provides a web/ftp interface as well. The

IEC 60870-5-103 Master protocol driver works as a master to monitor and control up to 16 slaves. The serial port is userconfigurable, providing a very powerful and flexible host or device interface solution.

Features and Benefits

Applications

The MNET-103M modules are the ideal solution for the many applications where Modbus TCP/IP connectivity can be used to integrate an IEC 103 slave device into a system. The Modbus TCP/IP gateway is a powerful module designed with both Client and Server support, enabling easy connection to other Modbus devices (Modicon processors and many others). In combination with the IEC 103 Master support, the module provides a very powerful interface to the many IEC 103 slave 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.

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.
