1.3 Product Description
Economical Solution for Industrial Modbus TCP/RTU/ASCII Network Integration
PLANET has added the Industrial Modbus TCP/IP Protocol to its IMG-120T Industrial-level 2-port RS422/485
Modbus Gateway, an industrial management level product that comes with SCADA/HMI system and other data
acquisition systems on the factory floor. Moreover, an industrial IT SNMP network can be upgraded to an
Industrial automation Modbus TCP/IP network without any difficulty and extra expense. The IMG-120T offers a
flexible network connectivity solution for industrial automation environment. PLANET IMG-120T is a conversion
bridge between Modbus TCP/IP Protocol and Modbus RTU/ASCII Protocol. It features a wide operating
temperature range from
-40
to
75 degrees C
and a compact but rugged IP40 metal housing.
The Conversion Bridge that Makes Communications Convenient
As the conversion bridge, the IMG-120T communicates well between any industrial equipment with the Modbus
RTU/ASCII Protocol and the administrator workstation that runs the Modbus TCP/IP Protocol. The RS422/485
serial interface of the IMG-120T provides the Modbus RTU/ASCII operation mode and various baud rate options
to meet the demand of integration between the Modbus TCP/IP Protocol, Modbus RTU Master/Slave Protocol
and Modbus ASCII Master/Slave Protocol
.
The advantage of having the IMG-120T is to assist users to build an industrial environment between the Modbus
TCP/IP Protocol and the Modbus RTU/ASCII Protocol easily, thus offering an application solution to the industrial
control equipment without Ethernet ports. Thus, the industrial control equipment can only control through an
industrial PC workstation or industrial control panel.
