The DNP-211 CR bridges DNP3 field devices and Ethernet-based Modbus TCP masters. On the DNP3 side it acts as the master, reading from and writing to outstations over TCP, UDP or serial. On the Modbus side it is a server that accepts requests from Modbus TCP clients and either answers them directly or forwards the related DNP3 data.Mapping between DNP3 points and Modbus addresses is set up in the DNP-211 utility, so existing DNP3 networks can be exposed to a Modbus TCP host without rewiring the field devices. Outstation connection status is also available at a Modbus address, which helps supervisory logic detect a lost link.Capacity covers up to 32 DNP3 outstations and 16 Modbus TCP client connections, with 8192 digital I/O bits and 2048 channels each for counter and analogue points. It is a suitable choice where an engineer needs a compact DIN-rail gateway with a metal housing and a wide 12 to 48 VDC supply range.ApplicationsIntegrating DNP3 outstations, RTUs and IEDs with Modbus TCP master systemsSCADA communication in utilities such as electric and water companiesConnecting existing DNP3 networks to Ethernet-based Modbus TCP masters

Analog values can be handled as word, int32, float or double. Mapping between Modbus TCP addresses and DNP3 points is set up in the DNP-211-S utility software, and the DNP3 side reports the Modbus TCP connection status.Suited to utility and SCADA installations, the unit uses a metal housing, a 12 to 48 VDC supply and DIN-rail or optional wall mounting. It is rated for operation from -25 to +75 °C.ApplicationsSCADA master station integration with Modbus TCP devicesElectric and water utility communicationsConnecting RTUs and IEDs to a DNP3 master station

The ECAT-2611 CR is a protocol converter gateway that connects EtherCAT and Modbus RTU networks.

Key figures include a 10 ms cycle time, up to 256 WORD input and 256 WORD output data, and serial communication up to 115200 bps.ApplicationsRetrofitting older Modbus RTU automation devices into EtherCAT communication structuresExchanging I/O data between an EtherCAT Main Device and a Modbus RTU Main DeviceIntegrating serial Modbus RTU equipment into EtherCAT-based machine control systems

The GW-7433D-G bridges CANopen networks and Ethernet-based control systems. On the field side it operates as a CANopen master, using PDO and SDO services to communicate with slave devices. On the plant side it appears as a Modbus TCP server and a Modbus RTU slave, so an existing CANopen installation can be monitored and controlled from any Modbus TCP client or Modbus RTU master.Slave devices are predefined using the manufacturer's utility software. At start-up the gateway collects the required information from those slaves. It supports up to 20 CANopen slave devices, and up to five Modbus TCP clients can access the unit at the same time.The listen mode lets engineers monitor CANopen slave data without taking part in the network traffic. Slaves can be added or removed on line, and CANopen status, slave and gateway communication states, and disconnections can be queried through Modbus commands.ApplicationsControl systemsBuilding automationFactory automationDistributed data acquisitionWind turbine monitoring and control, integrating large inverters and PLCs
