SmartBob II Momentum Universal Communication Module (MUCM) . The standard model allows Modbus serial masters to gather data from BinMaster SmartBob II remotes. The system shown in figure 1.1 shows a Modbus Master (HMI,DCS,or PLC), a SmartBob II MUCM, and eight SmartBob II remotes located on vessels. The Modbus RTU master has an RS-232 port that connects to the MUCM. The SmartBob remotes are connected to the MUCM via a multi-drop RS-485 network, are set for slave addresses 1 through 8, and are mapped to Modbus slave addresses 1 through 8 respectively. The SmartBob II Momentum Universal Communication Module (MUCM) allows a Modbus serial master to gather data from up to 32 BinMaster SmartBob II remotes. The data from each SmartBob II remote is presented as a Modbus Holding Register (4x). Each bob is assigned a unique Modbus slave address. A special Modbus slave address of 247 is provided to initiate a measurement and to give a summary of all the measurements from the SmartBob Remotes in the network. The MUCM may be configured as a Modbus RTU or a Modbus ASCII slave. ModBus Master Power RS-232 Serial Cable SmartBob II Remotes Figure 1.1
