Technical Specifications
Network interface: Modbus Plus (MB+), 1Mbps. Serial interface: RS-232/RS-485 DF1, 110bps to 19.2kbps. Protocols: Modbus Plus, Allen-Bradley DF1 full/half duplex. Power supply: 24V DC. Current draw: 300mA. Operating temperature range: -40°C to +70°C. Mounting: DIN rail.
Functional Features
Transparent protocol conversion with configurable data mapping. Supports multiple DF1 devices via multi-drop serial. Built-in message prioritization and error checking. Front panel status indicators for network and serial activity. Configuration via DIP switches or software.
Application Scenarios
It integrates Allen-Bradley PLC-5, SLC 500 and MicroLogix controllers into Modbus Plus networks, connects legacy serial devices to modern industrial networks, and enables multi-vendor system communication in process control and manufacturing facilities.
Performance Parameters
Modbus Plus rate: 1Mbps. Serial baud rate: up to 19200bps. Throughput: up to 1000 messages per minute. Operating temperature range: -40°C to +70°C. Vibration resistance: 2G @ 10Hz to 500Hz.
Material Composition
Housing: UL 94 V-0 flame-retardant plastic. PCB: FR-4 glass epoxy. Connectors: gold-plated copper alloy. Serial drivers: industrial-grade transceivers.
Structural Characteristics
It features compact DIN rail mount housing, front panel status LEDs, Modbus Plus connector, serial terminal block, power input terminals, and integrated mounting clips.
Working Principle
It receives messages from the Modbus Plus network, translates them into DF1 protocol format, and transmits them to connected serial devices. It also receives DF1 messages from serial devices, converts them to Modbus Plus format, and places them on the Modbus Plus network.
Installation Requirements
Mount on 35mm standard DIN rail. Connect 24V DC power supply. Wire Modbus Plus cable with proper termination. Connect DF1 serial devices to serial port. Configure baud rate and node address via DIP switches.
