Oring has developed the IDS-M311 Modbus gateway to facilitate integration of serial devices on the edge of industrial networks with the ethernet network.
The IDS-M311 enables communications between the RTU, ASCII and TCP protocols used in factories. Higher management and operating efficiency allows different Modbus equipment with non IP-based interfaces such as DCS, PLC, HMI, electric power load measurement systems and other sensors or measuring devices to communicate and exchange data over ethernet.
The IDS-M311 is a 1-port Modbus gateway, which supports RS232/422/485. In addition to communications between Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU/ASCII, the IDS-M311 is able to support up to 16 TCP masters and 32 requests simultaneously.
With support for up to 31 RTU/ASCII devices, the IDS-M311 can effectively connect a high density of Modbus nodes on the same network. It is a suitable solution to secure serial-to-ethernet data communications in harsh operating industrial environments. It has dual power supplies for redundancy and a light, compact enclosure with DIN rail design.
