Modbus® to Ethernet
Schneider Electric’s new, low-cost ConneXium TSXETG100 Gateway provides easy connectivity from any Modbus® serial line compatible device on the factory floor or remote location into an Ethernet-based communication network.

The TSXETG100 provides Ethernet connectivity to any Modbus serial master or slave device. Total flexibility of controlling data is possible by originating a Modbus Master command from a serial link device or from the Ethernet-connected device. Power-over-Ethernet provides unit power directly from the Ethernet link cable, reducing cost, time, and effort during startup. Users can monitor or diagnose system data through a standard web browser, eliminating the need of specialized software.

The ConneXium Modbus Plus™ to Ethernet Bridge is a powerful web-enabled gateway bridge connecting two long-time Modicon® standard networks for transparent access and data flow. The bridge, part number 174 CEV 200 40, functions as a message router between devices addressable on each network and allows real-time direct transfer (no conversion) of all programming and data exchange function codes in both directions.*

Designed for ease of setup, a default configuration is installed so the bridge is ready to operate immediately. A simple web-based console allows access to configuration and diagnostics from any computer on a plant LAN. Most of the configuration can be done on-line, without stopping or restarting the bridge. No special configuration of data transfer tables is needed.

Note:
Unity Pro™ application development and diagnostics software is now fully capable of bi-directional communications from both sides of these networks. So now, whether you have Modbus Plus or Ethernet Modbus/TCP as your PC network connection, you can access all device information needed to effectively control and monitor your systems.
