Modbus Interface
Industry Standard Fieldbus Protocol for System Integration and Data Collection
Integrate your press line, robotics, transfers, and other auxiliary systems to ensure the different parts of your press production system function as cooperatively and efficiently as possible. Use with dashboarding software to get status and operational information for a complete picture of your operations.
Link’s Modbus Interface Delivers:
Productivity
Integrate multiple press lines and auxiliary systems into one composite machine for the ultimate in productivity and efficiency.
Flexibility
Both Modbus/RTU Over Serial Line and Modbus/TCP Over Ethernet are supported for flexibility.
Visibility
Status, settings, and operational data can be read remotely for integration into factory manufacturing software.
Ease of Use
Utilizes standard fieldbus protocol along with a published register map of the information for straightforward implementation.
Features
-
Fast and easy access via standard fieldbus to complete press production system (iot)
-
Allows line controls to send out job settings to multiple presses
-
Provides the communications portal for press lines to communicate with robotics, transfers, and all kinds of auxiliary equipment
-
OT806 terminals can support modbus RTU connections on up to four serial ports at the same time with independent settings, including baud rate and id, and up to four simultaneous modbus tcp connections over ethernet
-
OT805 terminals, 1200 tonnage monitors, and 2600 PLS & die protection units can support one modbus RTU connection over a serial port and one modbus tcp connection over ethernet (if optional communication board is installed)
-
Modbus RTU connections offer settable reply delay to support gateways or converters
-
Quick troubleshooting of connections with extensive diagnostic counters that show the activity on the connection, including number of messages received, messages sent, exception responses, and more
