MINT – IO
REF NO: m25A/om/101
Issue No: 11
3. MINT-CP MODULE
3.1 mINT CP Ethernet Interface Module
3.1.1 Description
The mint CP is works as
Gateway for Modbus TCP to
MODBUS serial which connects
mint IOs to Ethernet network.
Mint CP includes a web server
which enables access to internal
parameters for configuration. This
allows IP address configuration,
default gateway IP address and
subnet mask. The web server
can be accessed by most web
browsers.
Factory default IP address is:
192.168.100.110
The web page address for viewing the setup parameter is http://
192.168.100.110. The master device which is polling the IO-modules must be
configured with IP address of the Mint-CP module and with the Modbus ID of
the mint-IO modules. As each IO modules communication bus is separate, it
is possible to have repeated Modbus ID's on the mint-IO modules provided
they are attached to a different mint-CP. The IP address differentiates
between the different mint systems. Consequently, many hundreds of mint-IO
modules may be added to a Ethernet network.
The mint-CP is a Modbus gateway and the client must be configured to use
Port 502. This is a reserved port number for Modbus TCP applications and
informs the mint-CP that it must implement the protocol conversion from
Modbus TCP on the Ethernet network to Modbus RTU on the mint-CP serial
communications bus.
