ECAT-2610 EtherCAT to Modbus RTU Gateway, RS-232/422/485

ECAT-2610-DW is a gateway that converts EtherCAT to Modbus RTU, so a serial device on its RS-232/422/485 port can be integrated into an EtherCAT network. It also integrates PM-3033/3133/3114/3112 power meter SubDevices, with the Main Device reaching their RxPDO and TxPDO data through a configuration file supplied by ICP DAS.The unit suits system integrators who want to retro-fit older automation equipment into modern EtherCAT structures. Several power meters can be connected at once, supporting more diversified energy management programs. The source notes a simple installation and configuration process.The gateway is supplied as the CR ordering code with a CA-0915 DB9 Male to DB9 Female cable, 1.5 M. It is certified to CE, UKCA, FCC, RoHS and WEEE and mounts on a DIN-rail in a plastic housing.ApplicationsRetro-fitting older automation devices into EtherCAT control systemsEnergy management and power monitoring with multiple power metersIntegrating Modbus RTU serial devices into EtherCAT networks

The ECAT-2611 CR is a protocol converter gateway that connects EtherCAT and Modbus RTU networks. It operates as a SubDevice on both sides and passes I/O data between them, so an EtherCAT Main Device and a Modbus RTU Main Device can exchange data through its internal data exchange buffer.It suits system integrators who need to bring older serial automation equipment into an EtherCAT architecture. The serial protocol conversion is handled in the module, so no PLC function blocks are required and the connected device needs no hardware or software changes.This CR ordering code includes the CA-0915 DB9 male to DB9 female cable, 1.5 M, for connecting the serial port. 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 ECAT-2601 CR is a gateway that connects an EtherCAT network with Modbus and OPC UA systems. Its built-in EtherCAT MainDevice drives EtherCAT SubDevices directly, and a shared data exchange buffer makes their I/O data available to Modbus masters over Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU (slave).Engineers will value that it connects to SubDevice PDO without requiring an ESI file and supports third-party EtherCAT SubDevices. Free Run mode is supported, the minimum cycle time is 125us, and it reconnects to SubDevices within 10 seconds after power-on. User-defined SDO startup entries can be set, and configuration is handled through the built-in web interface over HTTP/HTTPS.An OPC UA Server in the firmware lets standard OPC UA clients connect without custom development, covering machine-to-machine communication as well as links to SCADA systems and cloud platforms. The ordering code ECAT-2601 CR denotes the RoHS-compliant version, and the unit mounts on DIN-rail.ApplicationsMachine-to-machine data exchange between EtherCAT and Modbus systemsVertical integration of EtherCAT machines with SCADA systemsConnecting EtherCAT machines to cloud platforms via OPC UAIntegrating third-party EtherCAT SubDevices into Modbus or OPC UA networks

The GW-7552-B connects Modbus devices to a PROFIBUS DP network. It acts as a DP-V0 slave towards the PROFIBUS master, so the master can read and write data held by Modbus devices such as PLCs, sensors and ICP DAS M-7000 series modules, without changes to the PROFIBUS network design.The gateway can operate as a Modbus master or slave and supports both RTU and ASCII formats. Its hybrid COM 1 port is selectable between RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485, with the modes used one at a time. Serial settings cover 7 or 8 data bits, no, odd or even parity, 1 or 2 stop bits, and baud rates from 1200 to 115200. A utility is provided for configuring the GW-7552-B.Transmission rate on the PROFIBUS side is detected automatically, and the node address is set from 0 to 126 using a DIP switch. The PROFIBUS side has 3000 VDC isolation, and the network side uses High Speed iCoupler isolation. The GW-7552-B is housed in a plastic case for DIN-rail mounting, with an operating range of -25 ~ +75 °C.ApplicationsIndustrial automationFactory automationProcess automation
