Advantech LogoModbus Gateway

Ethernet Network Reliability

 

The EKI-1200 series Modbus gateways are bi-directional gateways for integrating new and existing Modbus/RTU and Modbus/ASCII serial devices to newer TCP/IP networked-based devices. The EKI-1200 feature two independent Ethernet ports and MAC addresses to provide a redundant networking mechanism to guarantee Ethernet networking reliability. They provide a simple and cost-effective way to bring the advantage of remote management and data EKI Modbus Gatewayaccessibility to thousand of devices that can not connect to a network.

 

The EKI-1200 provide a feature that can allow users to select master or slave operation mode for each serial port. They not only allow an Ethernet master to control serial slaves, but also allow serial masters to control Ethernet slaves.

 

  • Provides 2 x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports for LAN redundancy
  • Integration of Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU/ASCII networks
  • Supports up to 921.6 kbps, and any baud rate setting
  • Supports up to 16 connections and 32 requests simultaneously
