1. Introduction.
The TRP-C31M, MODBUS gateway allows the legacy MODBUS RTU/ASCII devices to operate on
a MODBUS TCP network. It allows either MODBUS serial master or slave to communicate with
MODBUS TCP’s slave or master. When TRP-C31M function as “MODBUS TCP masters to
RTU/ASCII slaves”: It allows multiple MODBUS TCP masters to communicate with a MODBUS
serial network. the queries from different masters are pipelined and processed one by one. When
TRP-C31M function as MODBUS RTU/ASCII master to MODBUS TCP slaves: it can connect up to
8 MODBUS TCP slaves. User can specify a UID range for each MODBUS TCP slave. TRP-C31M
provides inactive timeout that allows user to specify a time period to disconnect TCP/IP connection
to prevent one connection slot was occupied if there is no activity in the network., or prevent any
another connection again. A friendly management software provides user an easy way of
configuration over Ethernet. TRP-C31M can work at Loop back Mode, all data is sent back
immediately. This feature makes the connection testing easy. The industry standard DIN rail and
panel mount design enable user a fast and professional installation.
