Page 4: About The Embedded Module
1 About the Embedded Module 1.1 General GS11-MT is an embedded Modbus TCP module and provides instant Modbus TCP connectivity via the host interface which is SST Automation defined. Any device that supports the host interface can communicate with GS11-MT through UART. - Page 5 The size of output buffer is 256 bytes at most. The host interface is UART, half duplex, 8 data bits, one stop bit, and no parity, and support 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400 baud rate. Power: +3.3VDC (3.14 ~ 3.45V), 182mA. ...

Page 9: Reset Signal
2.5 Reset Signal GS11-MT RESET (Pin 14) is hardware reset signal input. When the RESET pin is pulled down to GND or low to 2.88V lasting for 1 millisecond, the module will be forced to reset, and the host must wait for 250 milliseconds (typical value, after reset the module), and then the host must check the PIN10 (/RUN) and PIN20 (/ DATAEXCH). -

Page 15: Modbus Tcp To Sst Automation-Defined Protocol
Protocol 4.1 Description GS11-MT acts as a Modbus TCP server at the Ethernet side, and the serial protocol is SST Automation-defined protocol. Modbus TCP communication and serial communication of GS11-MT are independent, and exchange data between through the input and output data buffer inside GS11-MT. User board can exchange data with EMT331 according to the SST Automation –defined protocol of GS11-MT. - Page 16 Input 04H Function Code Data Buffer 06H Function Code Output 10H Function Code Data Buffer 03H Function Code 04H function code is used to read input data; 06H and 10H function codes are used to write output data; 03H function code is used to read back output data, and then multiple Modbus TCP masters can exchange data using this function code.
