IIntegration of Modbus TCP/IP® products into IEC 60870-5-104 networks can be a challenge, but not with ProSoft Technology’s PLX32-MBTCP-104 gateway.
The gateway has dual Ethernet ports, providing the option to have one Ethernet port communicating on both Modbus TCP/IP and IEC 60870-5-104 networks, or independent communication ports for each protocol.
The gateway provides powerful communications on the Modbus TCP/IP network, operating as either a Client or a Server to various devices such as PLC’s, Drives, HMI’s and various other equipment supporting the Modbus TCP/IP protocol.
On the IEC 60870-5-104 side of the communications, the gateway operates as a server, accepting commands from client devices such as a SCADA system or DCS system.
