The Modbus® Router/B provides intelligent data routing between Logix controllers/PLCs and Modbus devices via Modbus RTU (RS232 / RS485) or Modbus TCP. The Router can operate as either a Modbus Client (Scheduled Mode) or Modbus Server (Reactive Mode).
Communications with a Logix controller (e.g., ControlLogix® or CompactLogix™) can be achieved via EtherNet/IP™ or USB. Direct-to-Tag technology enables the router to exchange data directly with Logix Tags, thus requiring no Logix programming.
When using USB, a redundant system can be configured using one Router for each Logix controller. Only the Router connected to the Primary Logix controller will respond to the Modbus TCP requests.
The Router also supports the MicroLogix™ and SLC™500 platforms.
The Router hosts two Ethernet ports which can be configured in a Device Level Ring or Linear topology.
