Communicate with Modbus Protocol Modbus is a communications protocol, which over the years has become a standard in the automation industry. The main reasons for the extensive use of Modbus over other communications protocols are because it is: 1. 2. 3. Openly published and royalty-free A relatively easy industrial network to deploy Able to move raw bits or word data without placing many restrictions on vendors Modbus is often used to connect a supervisory computer with a remote terminal unit (RTU) in supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems. All IDEC MicroSmart Pentra PLCs...

Setting the Standards for Connectivity Modbus Connectivity with TCP, RTU and ASCII Web Browser - Remote Monitor & Control WindLDR Software Monitor & Update Program SCADA Supervisory Controls TCP Modbus TCP Server 255 Modbus TCP Client Ethernet Modbus TCP Server 3 Modbus TCP Server 2 Modbus TCP MicroSmart Pentra PLCs with embedded Ethernet port support Modbus TCP Client (Master) or Server (Slave) communications. When configured as a Client on the Modbus TCP network, up to 3 connections can be established to the client (master) MicroSmart Pentra PLC. Each connection can communicate with up to...

Built-in Ethernet for fast, reliable connectivity Ethernet is the fastest growing segment of industrial networking, allowing reliable access-from-anywhere capability and easy remote-data archiving. It makes sense: you can’t always be in the same location as your machinery, but with IDEC MicroSmart Pentra PLCs, you don’t need to be. Now you can monitor status in real-time, receive email alerts and customize your own web pages. MicroSmart Pentra PLC with embedded Ethernet With an easy-to-configure, built-in Ethernet port, you can set up your systems for remote access in no time. Remote Access...

Setting the Standards for Connectivity Up to 14 Simultaneous Connections Using Maintenance Communication Server connections, up to 3 Client devices, such as an OI touchscreen, WindLDR software and SCADA OPC server such as WindSRV (KepServerEx), can simultaneously communicate with your MicroSmart Pentra PLC. Using Server Connections, an additional 8 connections can be established and each connection can be defined as Maintenance, User Communication or Modbus TCP server protocol. On top of that, another 3 connections can be configured as Modbus TCP client protocol, with a maximum of 255...

Customize critical data for quick online monitoring Using the MicroSmart Pentra PLC with embedded Ethernet, you have the ability to design and create your own web page. Using a standard web browser, such as Internet Explorer or Firefox, critical information in the PLC can be accessed and controlled remotely over the web. Up to 1MB of memory is reserved for web server functions. With your web page, data is easy to access and read. Your web page can display important parameters such as flow rate, pressure, temperature, speed etc, of your system. These parameters can then be remotely monitored...

Setting the Standards for Connectivity Cellular modems let you connect anywhere If your system is located in a remote, unpopulated area where a simple internet connection isn’t available, monitoring equipment spread across a large geographic region can be difficult. Usually someone must drive to each location to manually monitor critical information, which is both time consuming and costly. So what do you do if an internet connection isn’t available where your system is installed? A GSM/ CDMA wireless modem lets you access your system remotely through mobile carriers in the GSM/CDMA...

Connect your devices by expanding to 7 ports Port 4 RS232C/RS485 Just imagine all the possibilities you will experience with the flexibility of a powerful MicroSmart Pentra Slim PLC. You can configure and seamlessly communicate with as many as 7 serial devices via RS232C or RS485. MicroSmart Pentra PLCs are the only micro PLC in the market to combine so much power and flexibility in one controller. Communicate to any device With MicroSmart Pentra PLCs, you don’t have to worry about limited communication capabilities. It doesn’t matter if you’re just starting out or a current user expanding...
