ProSoft Technology Introduces Stand-Alone Gateway Solutions for Modbus TCP/IP Network connectivity to BOSCH SVB/SVK Compatible Devices
BAKERSFIELD, Calif., June 15, 2006
The ProLinx Modbus TCP/IP to BOSCH Packaging Machinery Gateway provides a powerful connection between devices on a Modbus TCP/IP network and the state-of-the-art BOSCH packaging machinery.The Modbus TCP/IP driver supports server functionality using the reserved Modbus TCP/IP service port 502, as well as service port 2000 to support the TCP/IP encapsulated Modbus protocol.This allows client applications such as HMI software packages and Allen-Bradley processors to read from and write to the module's database.
The Serial port in the gateway is user-configurable to support the full-duplex mode of the BOSCH Master protocol.
Additional features include:
- One Ethernet port and up to four BOSCH configurable serial ports
- BOSCH Master server continuously poll BOSCH slave devices
- Up to 100 user-defined commands per Master port
- Easy set-up and configuration
- Configuration/Debug port provides access to the database, communication statistics and configuration using an external computer executing a terminal server program
Supported BOSCH packaging machinery includes:
- SVB 2501 intermittent motion V/F/F/S machine
- SVB 3601 intermittent motion V/F/F/S machine
- SVB 3601 R V/F/F/S machine
- SVK 2500 continuous motion V/F/F/S machine
- SVK 3600 continuous motion V/F/F/S machine
