I-7243D ~ NEW ~
Modbus TCP server/DeviceNet Master Gateway

   
 
     
 
“Embedded Internet” and “Embedded Ethernet” are hot topics today. Nowadays the Ethernet protocol becomes the de-facto standard for local area network. Via Internet, connectivity is occurring everywhere, from home appliances to vending machines to testing equipment to UPS…etc. Using Ethernet for network in industrial area is appealing because the required cabling is already installed.
The I-7243D from ICP DAS is a solution that provides a communication protocol transfer the DeviceNet and Modbus/TCP protocol and solves a mission-critical problem: connecting an existing DeviceNet network to Ethernet-base PLCs and PC-based configuration and monitor system. it enables DeviceNet networks to be coupled together over the Internet/Ethernet, whereby remote monitoring and control is possible.
 

The I-7243D can be a DeviceNet master device in the CAN bus on the DeviceNet network. It is a “Predefined Master connection Set”, and supports Group 2 only Server functions to communication with slave devices. In addition, we also provide Utility software for users to configure their device parameters for the I-7243D. The following figure shows the application architecture for the I-7243D.

 
  Applications
 
• Control System
• Building Automation
• Factory Automation
• Distributed data acquisition

 
 
  Features
 
     
 
  • Programmable DeviceNet Master MAC ID.
  • Programmable DeviceNet transfer-rate 125K, 250K, 500K.
  • Supports maximum DeviceNet devices up to 63
  • Predefined Master/Slave Connection Set

  • connected with this module.
  • Supports on-line adding device into and removing device from network.
  • Supports boot-up auto communicate with slave devices.
  • Converters single Mobbus/TCP to multi Modbus/RTU, setting by Utility
  • Supports VxComm technique for every COM ports of controllers, setting by Utility
  • Allowed multi-client (or master) access simultaneously
   
 
 
  Data interchange between Modbus TCP and DeviceNet
   
 

The I-7243D provides centralized data storage, “Internal Memory”, for data that is shared between the DeviceNet and Modbus/TCP network. Data is placed into the “Internal Memory” by one network interface, allowing the data to be read/wrote through the other network interface.

     
 
 
  I-7243D Utility
 
     

We provide I-7243D tools for Windows 98/SE/2K/XP, it includes:

  • Online add/remove DeviceNet devices via Ethernet
  • Online monitor and configure devices status via Ethernet.
  • Get/Set Modbus/TCP input/output memory address
  • Support DeviceNet I/O mapping table.
  • Show DeviceNet devices connection status.
  • Support communication mode setting.
 
   
  Typical applications
 

Application 1: Modbus/TCP server to DeviceNet master gateway

The I-7243D can act as a Modbus/TCP server to DeviceNet master gateway. Using the module, users don’t need to take care of the detail of the DeviceNet protocol. The module will implement the DeviceNet protocol automatically. It mainly supports the Predefined Master/Slave Connection Set functions to allow users to merge I/O data into DeviceNet network by using Modbus/TCP commands.

 

Application 2: a single Modbus/TCP to multi-Mosbus/RTU converter

I-7243D can be a single Modbus/TCP to multi-Modbus/RTU converter. You can simple use the Utility software to configure the device and then set connection between SCADA, HMI software and the I-7243D.

 
Application 3: protocol converter with VxComm technique

An I-7243D can also be able to link to serial devices that don’t support Modbus/RTU. To use this function, you will need to install VxComm driver on host PCs. After installation, you will be able to access the remote COM ports via the standard serial driver.
