PoE AP Router 4.1.3 Modbus Modbus is one of the most popular automation protocols in the world, supporting traditional RS‐232/422/485 devices and recently developed Ethernet devices. Many industrial devices, such as PLCs, DCSs, HMIs, instruments, and smart meters, use Modbus protocol as the communication standard. It is used to establish master‐slave communication between intelligent devices. However, the Ethernet‐based Modbus protocol is so different from the original serial‐based protocols. In order to integrate Modbus networks, the IoT Gateway, including one or more serial ports that support RS‐232 and RS‐485 communication interface, can automatically and intelligently translate between Modbus TCP (Ethernet) and Modbus RTU/ASCII (serial) protocols, allowing Ethernet‐based PLCs to control instruments over RS‐485 without additional programming or effort. NOTE: When Modbus devices are connected to/under the same serial port of IoT Modbus Gateway, those Modbus devices must use the same protocol with the same configuration (i.e., either Modbus RTU or Modbus ...

With the Proxy mode option enabled, when the Modbus gateway lost the connection with specified Modbus server, it will take over the data acquisition task and keep collecting the required data from Slave devices automatically. Once the connection is recovered, the Modbus gateway may stop the data log proxy function. Remote Modbus server can keep its data acquisition process, and if required, the administrator can also get the stored data log files to tell if everything goes well or not. Under the Data Logging Proxy mode, user has to create some data acquisition rules via “Proxy Mode Rule Configuration” ...

The supported events are categorized into two groups: the managing events and notifying events. The managing events are the events that are used to manage the gateway or change the setting / status of the specific functionality of the gateway. On receiving the managing event, the gateway will take action to change the functionality, collect the required status for administration, and also change the status of a certain connected field bus device simultaneously. ...
