New line of industrial gateways support EtherNet/IP to Modbus communication

Pepperl+Fuchs Comtrol announces a new product family within its DeviceMaster industrial gateway lineup. DeviceMaster EIP-MOD gateways allow communication between EtherNet/IP controllers and Modbus master controllers.

The new gateways enable EtherNet/IP controllers—such as CIP complaint controllers that support Class 1 and Class 3 connections, including PLCs, HMIs, SCADA systems, and OPC servers—to connect to Modbus master controllers. This includes serial Modbus RTU/ASCII interfaces, Modbus TCP interfaces, and Modbus RTU/ASCII over Ethernet TCP/IP. networking

DeviceMaster EIP-MOD gateways offer a paradigm shift in EtherNet/IP to Modbus communications. They provide highly flexible EtherNet/IP interfaces, the most advanced Modbus gateway functionality available, and a built-in data mapping feature that provides a Modbus Concentrator and direct EtherNet/IP controller to Modbus device communication. Web-based setup is performed with intuitive, embedded configuration pages that include data mapping verification and display of the shared memory map. The extensive diagnostics web pages are designed to aid maintenance and troubleshooting tasks.

With the DeviceMaster EIP-MOD gateways, customers now have more visibility and control for implementing IIoT and Industry 4.0 initiatives, while those needing to merge legacy Modbus networks into Ethernet/IP or add Modbus devices into an existing Ethernet/IP controlled machine or factory have an intuitive and flexible solution.
