This two-in-one design reduces system complexity, the amount of
space required in the network topology, as well as overall installation
time. In addition, you can extend the useful life of legacy devices by
connecting them to Ethernet and access the devices using a preferred
protocol.
The ioThinx 4510 supports Modbus RTU Master for retrieving field site
data from serial meters. After collecting the data, users can convert the
serial data to a variety of protocols, including Modbus TCP, SNMP, and
RESTful, allowing users to get field site data in their protocol of choice.
Built-In Modbus RTU Gateway Function
was designed specifically to make configuration and reconfiguration
easy; no reconfiguration efforts required for the unchanged modules.
In addition, the ioThinx 4510’s web interface supports module/channel
unique names. This feature also applies to Modbus TCP and RESTful
API, saving users a lot of time on development and deployment.
For modular remote I/O setups, one of the greatest difficulties is
duplicating configuration settings to the current modules with different
module combinations. After adding, moving, or deleting one of the
modules, configuration of the unchanged modules, including the
Modbus address and RESTful APIs to the upper software, need to be
reconfigured. The ioThinx 4510’s user-friendly web configuration tool
