I-8431-MTCP/I-8831-MTCP

Modbus/TCP Embedded Controller


Default firmware features:

  • Supports Modbus/TCP communication protocol to access I/Os that plug on slots.

  • Supports VxComm technique for every COM port of controllers.

  • Supports 8K and 87K DI/DO/AI/AO modules.
        Please refer detail list in Modbus Utility on-line help.

  • Automatically scan I/O modules.
        You can plug I/O modules in any slot. Don't mind the slot order, it's doesn't mater

  • Allowed a maximum of 8 host PCs access simultaneously.
        In fact, it can allow 16 host PCs access simultaneously.
        But for getting better stability, we recommend you don't use more than 8 host PCs
        to access a Modbus/TCP controller.

  • Firmware modifiable

Modbus SDK ( in C language ) :

We provide Modbus SDK to users. You can use it to integrate several serial devices. Thus the controller can be a Modbus/TCP slave and Modbus/RTU master. The Modbus SDK has below features:

  • Supports extra user-defined command protocol (TCP/P)

  • Register based programming method (easy to use)

  • Provides user-defined registers

  • Can link to Modbus/RTU slave devices

  • Can link to non-Modbus/RTU serial devices

  • Xserver SDK compatible

Modbus tools:

We provide Modbus tools for Windows 98/SE/NT/2K/XP, it includes

1. Modbus Utility

  • On-line configuration via Ethernet

  • On-line help

  • Automatically generate register mapping tables

  • Configuration export/import 

    

2. MBRTU

Modbus/RTU client (with source code in VB6) to diagnostic Modbus/RTU slave devices.

3. MBTCP

Modbus/TCP client (with source code in VB6) to diagnostic Modbus/TCP slave devices.

Typical applications

Basic application 1: Modbus/TCP I/O device

    Controller runs default firmware to be a Modbus/TCP slave device. You just need to run Modbus Utility to configure I/Os and then set connection between SCADA, HMI software and Modbus/TCP slave devices.

Basic application 2: Modbus/TCP I/O device with VxComm technique

Compare to basic application 1, you can also link serial devices to COM ports of controllers. To use this function, you need install VxComm driver on host PCs. After installing it, you can access these remote COM ports by using standard serial driver. 

Advanced application 1: Modbus/TCP controller

Using Modbus SDK, users can develop their special firmware to add extra functions and integral serial devices to Modbus/TCP kernel. Thus an I-8000 can be a powerful controller.

Advanced Modbus/TCP controller with VxComm technique

Compare to advanced application 1, you can link same hardware device. The difference is on software. If some COM ports are not integrated into your special firmware, you can still access these COM ports via standard serial driver, but you must install VxComm driver on host PC.
