1. Introduction

This section describes the functions, features, software, and hardware specifications of the
MDC-211-ZT Modbus data concentrator.
1.1.

Introduction to MDC-211-ZT

 Functions
MDC-211-ZT Modbus data concentrator developed by ICP DAS, with Ethernet, ZigBee
Wireless, RS-232 and RS-485 communication interfaces, can link the Modbus RTU devices to
the Ethernet network. MDC-211-ZT can read the data of Modbus RTU device according to
the user-defined command table, and integrate the data of different Modbus RTU devices
into the format of the continuous address so that the remote monitor host can connect to
MDC-211-ZT from Ethernet to access the data of multiple Modbus RTU devices at once.
Through MDC-211-ZT's Modbus data centralized management function, as well as the
Ethernet network convenient link and the communication ability, can quickly establish the
stable remote monitoring system, let the user be able to easily simplify the data acquisition
difficulty, and reduces the Ethernet network traffic load, enhances the system efficiency.
 Advantages
The advantages of MDC-211-ZT Modbus data concentrator, not only to help users
manage the Modbus RTU devices near the RS-232 and RS-485, even in the distance tough
cabling environment, can through the ZigBee wireless mesh network communication
advantages, easy to link the remote distributed ZT-2000 I/O series modules with the general
Modbus RTU devices.
In particular, in the widely used Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), with
simple settings, MDC-211-ZT Modbus data concentrator can link the distributed Modbus
RTU devices and the ZigBee I/O modules to the Ethernet network, which is the best solution
for the user to establish the remote monitoring control system quickly.
