Even turtles can fly!
We are glad to inform you that we have developed a new interesting device that can be very useful in your projects and will save a lot of money, time and nerves!
As known, if we do something – we do this well! We don’t spend time for copying someone’s ideas, but we do things with unique functionality, which make implementation easier to many applications that are difficult to solve with standard tools. Especially for this and other similar products, we registered a new trademark, named 7Bit.
7Bit ModBus Proxy is a caching gateway from ModBus TCP protocol to Modbus RTU. Unlike typical gateways that only retransmit packets from one network to another one and back, ModBus Proxy operates as a stand-alone data server that periodically reads necessary registers from the devices on the RS-485 bus and exposes them on ModBus TCP. Thus, a conventional gateway only provides connection of devices with a serial interface to the control system using Ethernet, while ModBus Proxy allows to speed up the process of data acquisition in systems with a large number of registers and devices using a low-speed fieldbus connection.
