MESR
Modbus Gateways bridge devices on Modbus serial networks (RS-232,
RS-422 or RS-485) with those on Modbus TCP networks, allowing seamless
integration of any Modbus device. Each serial port is accessible over a
LAN or WAN by up to 16 simultaneous Modbus TCP masters. All Vlinx™ MESR
gateways feature auto detecting 10/100Base T copper and fiber optic
connections.
Simple Installation and Setup
- Removable terminal blocks simplify power and data connections
- Slimline IP30 DIN mount enclosure minimizes footprint
- Simple configuration through the built-in web server, or Windows configuration software
- Built-in traffic monitor for instant verification of successful installation and simple network diagnostics
- Optional pass-through Ethernet port eliminates need for additional Ethernet switch port
- Optional Fiber Optic Ethernet connections for long-distance and total noise immunity
| Features | Benefits |

| Web Server, Configuration Software | Program through web browser or local port. Same user interface; no training required |
| Complete Fiber Options | Connect to all fiber networks in your plant without converting to copper connections |
| Low Latency, High Throughput | View status in real time |
Ethernet Master Serial Slaves
MESR9xx
modules can be used to integrate serial slave devices on a MODBUS TCP
network. This allows TCP Masters to control serial slave devices.
Serial & Ethernet Masters, Serial & Ethernet Slaves
MESR9xx modules can also integrate multiple master devices onto serial and Ethernet networks.
Two Identical Hard Coded Slaves
In
this scenario, two slave devices that are hard coded with the same ID
are required. This is accomplished by placing them on different serial
ports.
Serial Masters with IP Slaves
Serial Masters can be used to control IP slaves
Identical Networks
In
this scenario, identical or backup production lines can be controlled
by the same IP Master. This allows the duplicate networks to be
configured identically, saving documentation and maintenance time.
