In industrial and building automation projects, connecting different fieldbus devices to a network infrastructure is already a reality. The challenge is to connect different manufacturers with different protocol standards into a comprehensive IP network. Sensors and actuators at the fieldbus level that communicate via Modbus RTU must be integrated into a Modbus TCP network.
A so-called Modbus gateway is used to convert the Modbus RTU protocol into a Modbus TCP protocol. This is a Modbus RTU/Modbus TCP gateway that primarily converts Modbus RTU protocols into Modbus TCP protocols (or vice versa).
The METZ CONNECT Modbus Gateway MR-GW helps to integrate Modbus RTU devices into a Modbus TCP network and offers a very simple and cost-effective communication option for Modbus TCP clients with one or more Modbus RTU slaves.
The MR-GW guides the user through the configuration of the device in no time at all via an intuitive menu navigation system. Thanks to its modern and user-friendly responsive design, the device can be conveniently parameterised via a smartphone, tablet or laptop.
