Details: VBG-MOD-K20-D

Function

The VBG-MOD-K20-D is a MODBUS RTU gateway in accordance with AS-Interface- Specification 3.0 in IP20. The design makes it particularly suitable for use in control cabinets.

The AS-Interface data can be used in many varied ways and for a variety of purposes. All the important data are available in both binary form as well as packed and unpacked via a register. So that the AS-Interface gateways can be operated with the MODBUS slave interface by the most varied of MODBUS masters, without having to resort to expensive adaptions. The gateway is supplied from the AS-Interface cable.

The assignment of addresses and the acceptance of the set configuration is possible by means of push button keys. 7 LEDs, arranged on the front of the device, indicate the current status of the AS-Interface network.

On the AS-Interface Gateway, with graphic display, the commissioning of the AS-Interface circuit and the testing of the connected peripherals can be completely separated from the commissioning of the MODBUS and the programming. On-site operation using the graphics display and the 4 buttons enable all the functions to be depicted on the display that are covered by the other AS-Interface masters via the AS-i Control Tools software. An additional RS 232 socket provides the option of reading out data directly from the gateway, on gateway, network and function in the context of an extended on-site diagnosis.

PLC Functionality

Optionally, the gateway can be supplied with PLC functionality. Therefor you can order a code key VAZ-CTR additionally.
