Connecting Instead of Wiring:
Moeller SmartWire Gateway for Modbus.

The gateway for Modbus RTU (RTU = Remote Terminal Unit) expands Moeller's range of fieldbus couplers for the SmartWire connection system. In addition to the SmartWire gateways for Profibus-DP, CANopen/easyNet that are already in the range, it is now possible to connect up to 16 contactors, motor starter combinations or SmartWire I/O modules to the Modbus RTU fieldbus. Moeller's Modbus gateway rounds off the gateway series in terms of both design and functionality. All the benefits of the SmartWire system are retained without restriction, such as error-free and fast control wiring, simple configuration of the SmartWire system and the reduction of input and output channels in the PLC.

The management of SmartWire data as well as the operation of the SmartWire system is simple, transparent and reliable. The data from the SmartWire slaves are provided both in compressed and expanded data width (up to 8 bytes per slave). This allows more efficient data transfer and optimum adaption to the performance of the PLC.

The fieldbus interface of the gateway allows both point-to-point communication via RS232 as well as the integration of the SmartWire system in an existing Modbus network via RS485.

The Modbus gateway (SWIRE-GW-MB) supports data rates of 9.6 Kbit/s, 19.2 Kbit/s, 38.4 Kbit/s and 57.6 Kbit/s, and can be connected to virtually any freely configurable serial interface. The gateway thus offers a perfect solution for a wide range of small-scale or large-scale machine and system building applications.
