As we can see there are a lot of field devices that using different protocols in industrial applications, operators have to use industrial protocol gateway to accomplish protocol conversions to keep networks running smoothly and minimize cost by keep using their old devices. 3onedata’s Modbus gateways provide a simple and cost-effective solution to connect new or existing devices running the Modbus serial protocol (Modbus/ASCII or Modbus/RTU) to an Ethernet network.


3onedata’s Modbus Gateways


Today we are going to introduce two models of Modbus gateways from 3onedata: GW1101 series, a 1-port RS-232/485/422 or RS-485/422 to Ethernet Modbus gateway, and GW1102 series, a 2-port RS-232/485/422 or RS-485/422 to Ethernet Modbus gateway. Fully compliant with almost all Modbus network, these two series of Modbus gateways allow operators to establish communications with various of new or existing RTU/ASCII and TCP serial devices across an Ethernet network, improving production efficiency and reduce operational costs by enabling the devices to communicate between protocols.



3onedata's Modbus Gateways GW1101 Series and GW1102 Series


Equipped with the Intelligent Command Learning function, 3onedata’s Modbus gateways can significantly reduce polling time and improve system performance. With Learn-Remember-Polling-Store-Postback processes, the gateway can learn and remember the Modbus commands it receives, once a command has been learned, the gateway will act as though it were in agent mode, and actively send Modbus requests to the relevant Modbus slave devices. Since the data is saved in a different memory space that can be accessed by the SCADA system, the SCADA system can retrieve Modbus response data directly from the gateway’s memory, instead of waiting for the data to pass through the Modbus devices.



Intelligent Command Learning Function


The Auto-Device Routing function helps engineers finish the configuration easy and fast. In the Auto-Device Routing mode, the gateway will automatically detect the connection type, the ID and destination address of the modbus slave, and establish a routing forwarding list, therefore, time and costs are saved significantly because engineers don’t need to manually create the client ID routing table anymore. Moreover, it eliminates the effort needed to double-check the actual connections at field sites. This technology also does not require extra time or effort to refer to a historical mapping table when adding or removing Modbus devices.

Application
1.Multi Modbus TCP/IP Master to RTU/ASCII Slaves

The GW1101/1102 series can operate as a bridge between the multiple Modbus TCP master devices, like computer and PLC, and the RTU/ASCII slave devices in a Modbus TCP/IP networking environment to control the RTU/ASCII slave equipment via the multi-TCP/IP master equipment.




2.RTU/ASCII Master to Multi Modbus TCP/IP Slaves

The GW1101/1102 can act as a bridge between the RTU/ASCII master devices and the multiple TCP/IP slave devices in a Modbus TCP/IP networking environment to control multiple TCP/IP slave devices via the RTU/ASCII master devices.
