User’s Manual of IMG-2x00T Modbus Gateway Series
The advantage of having the IMG-2X00T 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 and the industrial control equipment can only control through an industrial PC workstation or industrial
control panel.
In addition, the effective integration solution of Modbus Ethernet devices, Modbus serial equipment or multi Modbus master /
slave in an industrial hybrid network brings the following:
■ Master mode supports up to 32 TCP slave connection requests
■ Slave mode supports up to 32 TCP master connections
Remote Management
The IMG-2x00T makes the connected industrial Modbus RTU/ASCII equipment become IP-based facilities and is able to
connect to the Modbus TCP/IP network via its RS232/422/485 serial interface and 10/100BASE-TX RJ45 or 100BASE-FX
Ethernet port. It provides a remote web management and telnet Interface for efficient remote network management. The
IMG-2x00T also provides PLANET Modbus Gateway utility tool and supports PLANET Smart Discovery utility to help network
administrator to easily get the current IP subnet address information or change the IP subnet address setting of the IMG-2x00T.
Modbus Serial Port State Monitoring
The IMG-2x00T shows the details of the total bytes transmitted and received on the RS232/422/485 serial interface, and the
detailed total number of frames transmitted and received on the remote web/telnet management interface. This function allows
network administrator to check the status and statistics of the IMG-2x00T via the single RS232/422/485 serial interface.
Stable Performance in Hardened Environment Design
The IMG-2x00T provides a high level of immunity against electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical surges which are
usually found on plant floors or in curb-side traffic control cabinets. Its operating temperature ranging from -40 to 75 degrees C
allows the IMG-2x00T to be placed in almost any difficult environment.
