NPort 6110 supports in the world. Modbus protocol supports traditional RS-232/ one Ethernet and one software selectable RS-232/422/485 422/485 devices and newly developed Ethernet devices. Many port that can connect with all kinds of Modbus devices. By industrial devices, such as PLCs, DCSs, HMIs, instruments, translating Modbus/TCP (Ethernet) and Modbus/ASCII/RTU and meters, use Modbus as their communication standard. (Serial) protocols, a PLC with Ethernet can use the RS-232/ However, the Modbus protocol running over serial and 485 interface to seamlessly communicate with instruments. Ethernet are so different that a communication gateway Powerful Operation Modes for Versatile Modbus Applications For Modbus protocol conversions, it is necessary to define a Master and Slave device, but unlike other Modbus Gateways, NPort 6110 allows users to configure Master/Slave for both the Ethernet and serial sides. Extra address mapping and exception parameters are supplied to ensure that most situations can be handled. Windows Utility For Easy Setup and Traffic Monitoring NPort 6110 is powerful yet very easy to use. An intuitive Windows utility automatically searches for all available NPort 6110 units on the LAN. Traffic Monitoring within the utility helps you troubleshoot any Modbus communication problem, such as connection status check, or address translation error check. 2-22 e-mail:info@moxa.com.tw www.moxa.com e-mail:info@moxa.com.tw www.moxa.com 6110 6110 Serial Device Server Solutions Total Solution for Industrial Device Networking Typical Applications Serial master device talks to serial slave devices over the Internet Let traditional Modbus serial devices talk NPort 6110 Modbus/TCP over the Internet Master devices Many traditional serial Modbus devices can talk Ethernet over RS-485, but the RS-485 network limits the maximum number of Modbus devices to 32, NPort 6110 NPort 6110 NPort 6110 Modbus within 1.2 km. Gateway By using Modbus Gateway, you can link all Serial RS-485 RS-232 Modbus devices over an Ethernet network. Up RS-485 to 8 Modbus Gateways can be installed in the same control network, extending the coverage Modbus/RTU Loop controller PLC DCS Flow meters Drives Slave devices of a single Modbus network as far as a TCP/IP power measurement network can reach. Ethernet master devices talk to multiple serial slave devices Connect all Modbus devices over the Ethernet Host PLC network computer Modbus/TCP Most host computers and newly developed PLCs Master devices support the Ethernet interface and run Modbus/TCP. NPort 6110 Modbus Gateway is needed to link NPort 6110 discrete Serial Modbus Devices for data collection NPort 6110 Modbus and control. Gateway Each NPort 6110 supports Modbus/TCP over Ethernet, RS-232 which allows up to 7 connections. The software RS-232 Modbus/RTU configurable serial interface supports either RS-232 or Modbus/ASCII Slave devices RS-422/485. In RS-232/422 modes, NPort 6110 can Flow meters Drives connect to 1 serial device. One NPort 6110 supports up Loop controller power measurement (up tp 31 devices) to 31 serial devices under RS-485 mode, which is the most popular application for the factory floor. Serial master devices talk to multiple Ethernet slave devices HMI Link the serial master devices with Ethernet RS-232 slave devices Modbus/RTU NPort 6110 Modbus/ASCII Modbus Many HMI (Human Machine Interface) systems use a devices Gateway serial interface and are required to access a discrete DCS. These days, however, more and more DCSs Modbus/TCP support Ethernet and run under Modbus/TCP slave Slave devices (up to 4) mode. In this case, NPort 6110 Modbus Gateway is the ideal solution to link the HMI to distributed DCSs DCS DCS over an Ethernet network. Up to 4 Modbus/TCP slave devices are supported for each NPort 6110. e-mail:info@moxa.com.tw www.moxa.com e-mail:info@moxa.com.tw www.moxa.com 2-23 Serial Device Server Solutions Total Solution for Industrial Device Networking Easy-to-use Windows Utility Configure Modbus Gateway Anywhere on the LAN Once NPort 6110 is connected to the Ethernet, any Windows host computer running Modbus Gateway Configurator can automatically search for all installed Modbus Gateways, and then proceed with configuration. DHCP (Automatic IP settings) and Manual IP settings are both supported. Such user-friendly features make NPort 6110 one of the most easy-to-use Modbus Gateways in the world. Online Traffic Monitoring and Error Log Display Modbus communication troubleshooting is both fast and easy. NPort 6110’s utility lets you monitor the online configuration and connection status from anywhere on the network without interfering with operation. Meanwhile, the system log can be stored as an installation or service record. Comprehensive and Powerful Modbus Parameter Settings In addition to working with most Modbus devices, NPort 6110 provides both basic and advanced communication parameters. For example, in addition to general configurations, Remote Modbus/TCP device ID, Initial Delay Time Adjustment, and Character/Message Timeouts are adjustable right in the Windows utility. Unlike text-based configuration from other vendors, NPort 6110’s comprehensive utility eases installation and saves training cost for engineers.
