Tibbo Modbus Gateway Features
The following is a list of features offered by compatible Tibbo devices running the Modbus Gateway app :
• 100/10Mb Ethernet port .
• Optional Wi-Fi port :
o Support for WEP/WPA/WPA2 security.
o Automatic switchover to the Wi-Fi port whenever the Ethernet interface becomes inactive (the Ethernet cable is unplugged).
• Selection of static IP or IP configuration via DHCP.
•Serial ports :
oTPS2(G2)- and TPS3(G2)-based Gateways :
▪ Up to four RS232, TS485, or RS232/422/485 ports;
▪ Baudrates of up to 460,800bps;
▪ None*/even/odd/mark/space parity modes;
▪ 7* or 8 bits/character;
▪ Optional RTS/CTS flow control.
oDS1101- and DS1102-based Gateways :
▪ Up to three RS232 channels;
▪ One RS485 channel (DS1102 only);
▪ Baudrates of up to 921,600bps;
▪ None/even/odd/mark/space parity modes;
▪ 7 or 8 bits/character;
▪ Optional RTS/CTS flow control.
• Support for up to 8 TCP masters and up to 4 TCP slaves.
• Flexible routing:
o Routing of Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU, and Modbus ASCII messages in any direction:
▪ Modbus TCP --> Modbus RTU or ASCII;
▪ Modbus RTU or ASCII --> Modbus TCP;
▪ Modbus TCP --> Modbus TCP;
▪ Modbus RTU or ASCII --> Modbus RTU or ASCII.
oSlave ID-based routing (works for all types of Modbus Masters);
oTCP port-based routing (for Modbus TCP Masters only); four ports are available;
• Support for Modbus exceptions:
o Timeout exception;
o Routing error exception.
• Configuration:
o Via the DS Manager utility ;
o Via the web interface .
• Status indication:
oUsing LEDs ;
oOn a display (when present).
• Operation monitoring:
o Gateway configuration can be monitored using SNMP protocol ;
o Gateway activity and byte-level flow can be monitored using IO Ninja software running a specially designed plugin.
• 12V or 24V power; Optional PoE power.
* Second-generation TPS devices ("G2" devices) do not support the combination of the 7 bits/character mode and the "none" parity mode.
