GW-7243D-G
Introduction
The GW-7243D offers the DeviceNet slave and Modbus master functions, and enables the DeviceNet master to access the Modbus slave devices. In the DeviceNet network, the module acts as a Group 2 Only Server device, and waits to build the connection with the DeviceNet master. In the Modbus network, the GW-7243D is a master device, and cyclically sends the commands to access the Modbus slave devices. Both the Modbus TCP client and Modbus RTU/ASCII master interfaces of the GW-7243D can work simultaneously. This feature means that users are able to integrate different kinds of Modbus slave devices together into the DeviceNet network no matter these devices provide Ethernet, RS-232 or RS-485 communication interfaces. In order to simplify the use of the GW-7243D, the GW-7243D Utility tool for confi guration and EDS file production is given. This is helpful to build the applications easily and quickly.
