Product Data Sheet
MODBUS Master/Slave GPRS UDP Communication Server
The Klinkmann Automation MODBUS Master/Slave GPRS UDP Communication Server (Modbus GPRS IO Server) is a Microsoft Windows application program that acts as a communication protocol Server and allows other Windows application programs access to data from MODBUS network using the UDP/IP interface (in UDP Server mode only), with special functionality implemented to support the GPRS wireless communications. The Server can act either as a MODBUS master device or a MODBUS slave device. Any Microsoft Windows program that is capable of acting as a DDE, FastDDE, SuiteLink or OPC Client may use the MODBUS Master/Slave Server. There are following MODBUS Master/Slave GPRS UDP Server versions available:
FEATURES The OPC support for MODBUS Master/Slave Serial&Ethernet Server OPC & DDE version conforms to OPC Data Access Custom Interface Specification 2.04. The MODBUS Server OPC & DDE version is tested for compliance and is compatible with OPC Foundation OPC Data Access Compliance Test Tool. The MODBUS Server DDE & Suite Link version supports the Wonderware Suite Link communication protocol. Supports the special UDP Modbus/IP + CRC feature, the serial device is accessed via GPRS-modem with embedded application running on it. Both the 6-bytes header and CRC are included in UDP/IP packet. The Klinkmann GPRS application running on GPRS-modem at serial device side is required to enable the GPRS communication. The Server is intended for serial communication with any devices supporting standard MODBUS binary (RTU, 8-bit) protocol. Connected Modbus devices can be either MODBUS Slaves or MODBUS Masters. For write commands the selection from two different function types can be done: single coil/register write commands (functions 5 and 6) or multiple coil/register write commands (functions 15 and 16). Supports both 5-digit and 6-digit addressing. Support for PLC limited address fields, by using special valid addresses ASCII file. Modbus Function 8 (Diagnostics) support. Minimizes system message traffic by dynamically calculating and optimizing poll lists for client-requested items/points. Supports multiple topics for each PLC, allowing different data update rates. Provides a communication status flag for each topic. Supports standard DDE among multiple applications.
SPECIFICATIONS Hardware: For effective use the following is recommended - CPU: 586 133 MHz or faster, 32MB RAM or more. May require more memory to run other Windows programs simultaneously. Software: MS Windows XP, Windows 2003 Server, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows 2008 Server. Maximum Connections: Up to 255 Modbus devices can be connected. Devices Supported: Any device supporting MODBUS RTU (binary) serial protocol. Accessible Data Types: Within the MODBUS Master/Slave Server, the standard Modicon MODBUS protocol item/point naming is used. The point name consists of five or six digits with optionally used suffix (e.g. character S or s for signed Word indication). The first digit states the memory area the point belongs to. The rest four or five digits are the point address in the memory area.
