IntesisBox® Modbus RTU/TCP server
This gateway offers a Modbus RTU/TCP server as main interface and a second interface talking another protocol. It allows to read/control an external system from Modbus (PLC, SCADA...). Acts as a
Modbus slave device, allowing to be polled from Modbus devices RTU or TCP.

Configuration
The configuration and supervison of the gateway is done through LinkBoxMB software, a software tool for Microsoft Windows operating systems supplied (free of charge) with the gateway and with the following main features:
Visual engineering tool, easy of use.
Multi-window tool allowing to supervise simultaneously the communication activity with both protocols (systems).
Window for viewing the real time values for all the signals allowing to modify any value (very useful for test purposes).
Console window showing debug and working status messages.
Configuration windows to configure all the gateway’s parameters and signals.
Signals configuration in plain text files (tab separated) for easy and quick configuration using Microsoft Excel (very useful in projects with a lot of points).
Allows to configure the gateway’s parameters and signals (points) while in off-line, this is, not connected to the gateway. You can configure/modify the gateway parameters comfortably in the office and later download the configuration to the gateway in the field.
Connection to the gateway for download the configuration and supervision by using a serial COM port of the PC (serial cable supplied with the gateway).
Allows to configure all the external protocols available for IntesisBox® - Modbus server series.
Upgrades for this software tool available free of charge whenever a new protocol is added to the IntesisBox® - Modbus server series.
Multi-project tool allowing to have in the engineer’s PC the configuration for all the sites with IntesisBox® - Modbus server series gateways installed.
Multi-language tool, all the language-dependent strings are in a plain text file (tab separated) for easy modification or addition of new languages.
A list of system commands is available to send to the gateway, for debugging and adjust purposes (Reset, Date/time consultation/adjust, Firmware version request...).

Modbus RTU interface
RS232 (DB9 male DTE) or RS485 (2 poles plug-in terminal block) connection.
Baud rate, data bits and parity configurable.
LED indicators for port activity (Tx, Rx).
Modbus device type: Slave. The number of slaves simulated will depend on the second protocol implemented (see datasheet in every case).
|
Modbus TCP interface
Ethernet 10BT RJ45 connection.
IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and TCP port configurable.
LED indicators for port activity (LNK, ACT).
Modbus device type: Slave. The number of slaves simulated will depend on the second protocol implemented (see datasheet in every case).
