ELPRO Technologies announces powerful features for their Industrial Wireless 802.11 Ethernet and Serial Device Server family.
ELPRO’s industrial 802.11 products now provide Device Server functionality with Modbus Master capability for both Modbus TCP and serial Modbus RTU. This new capability provides significant benefits in SCADA based application that requires a truly flexible I/O data transfer capability. Some of the key onboard features now enable the 240U-E to act as a Modbus TCP Client (Master) or Server (Slave), act as a Modbus RTU serial master and also communicate Modbus TCP Ethernet to RTU Gateway.
The new Device Server feature allows you to:
- Connect to Modbus TCP and/or Modbus RTU Slave devices without the need for a standalone Master
- Convert message between Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU
- Manage independent connections to both Modbus TCP (Ethernet) and Modbus RTU (serial) devices at the same 802.11 unit, simultaneously.
ELPRO’s industrial 802.11 family comprises the 240U-E WiFi unit, 905U-E 900MHz FH unit (for America), and 805 U-E 869MHz unit (for Europe and Southern Africa).
These units are designed for high speed 802.11 wireless data networking in heavy industrial environments, providing Ethernet and serial connectivity simultaneously as a multi-port Device Server, controlling communications to multiple devices.
As with all ELPRO’s products, the 802.11 family carries exclusive Lifetime Warranty.
