Data Communication

4.1

The main Data Communication Port of the EnCal 3000 Quad 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, DCS systems, 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:
