Innovative PLC to Device Connectivity for Modbus

Oxfordshire, United Kingdom, November 19, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Comtrol Europe’s DeviceMaster-UP product range has been extended to provide Modbus specific connectivity products.

The Modbus/TCP firmware loaded onto the DeviceMaster platform is designed to provide maximum functionality and flexibility with an emphasis on supporting raw/ASCII devices.

The DeviceMaster-UP for Modbus simultaneously supports multiple Ethernet, Modbus/TCP and serial Modbus controllers as well as provides flexible connectivity to serial Modbus slave devices and both serial and Ethernet TCP/IP raw/ASCII devices. The detailed diagnostic capabilities greatly simplify setup and improve maintenance capabilities. Connecting a PLC, SCADA system, HMI, or OPC Server to a raw/ASCII device, such as a barcode scanner, or a Modbus serial device such as a temperature sensor is greatly simplified using the DeviceMaster UP.

The Modbus/TCP firmware provides advanced Raw/ASCII options such as filtering, command/response mode, peer-to-peer Modbus communications, and simultaneous connections to multiple Modbus controllers and/or Ethernet TCP/IP applications.

The DeviceMaster-UP for Modbus provides a solution in all circumstances in the Modbus arena. Whether you require simple connectivity or have a large scale Modbus network or if you are communicating through Modbus/TCP, Modbus serial, Ethernet TCP/IP, or COM ports, the DeviceMaster-UP is an ideal solution. Whether your controller is a master or slave, local or remote; whether your Modbus slave device is Modbus/TCP, Modbus/RTU or Modbus/ASCII serial, is local or remote; or whether your Raw/ASCII device is connected via serial or Ethernet TCP/IP, the DeviceMaster-UP Modbus can supply the necessary connectivity.

With its wide temperature range (-37 to +74°C) The DeviceMaster-UP can be used in many harsh environmental conditions.

Tony Elvidge, VP Sales and Marketing at Comtrol Europe commented, “The Modbus protocol is used across a wide range of industries and the DeviceMaster-UP is an ideal connectivity partner in this area.”
