DATA COMMUNICATION
9.2
Local TCP/IP Data Communication
The main Data Communication Port of the EnCal 3000 is the TCP/IP port, although 2
serial ModBus ports are also available (see next paragraph). The TCP/IP Port (Ethernet
UTP 10 Base-T) is necessary for connection with RGC 3000 (Windows based interface
for configuration, diagnostics and report generation), but is also used by preference for
ModBus communication with Flow Computers, PLC and other ModBus hosts, if they are
able to handle ModBus TCP/IP. If not, ModBus serial to TCP/IP are easily available
nowadays. For existing systems the 2 serial ModBus ports can of course also be used.
The picture below shows a typical set-up:
