Description
The iP-8441-MTCP series is a Modbus TCP I/O expansion unit to utilisend I-8K and I-87K series I/O modules over the Ethernet for industrial monitoring and controlling applications. There are more than 50 I/O modules supported with the unit, including analog input/output, digital input/output, counter, frequency I/O modules. It is designed to be used in harsh and noisy environment, so the hardware is manufactured with wide power input range (10 ~ 30 VDC), isolated power input and can operate under wide temperature (-25 ~ +75 °C). To simplify installation and maintenance of I/O modules, it provides many useful features, such as: auto configuration, LED indicators for fault detection, dual watchdog to keep alive, programmable power on and safe values for safety.
Modbus is a very wide known protocol in the industrial manufacturing and environment monitoring fields. Many SCADA software, HMI and PLC has builtin driver to support Modbus devices.
Also available is a SDK for different platforms, such as Windows XP, Window CE 5.0/6.0, Linux, MiniOS7. Therefore, it is very easy to integrate remote I/O to customer’s applications. Further more, the iP-8441-MTCP is also a c language based programmable controller that equipped a DOS-like OS (MiniOS7). Programmers can use C compilers that can create 16 bit executable file (*.exe) to customize the Modbus firmware which preinstalled in the iP-8441-MTCP. The SDK provides rich functions for Modbus communication, such as Modbus TCP master/slave, Modbus RTU master/salve, Modbus ASCII master/slave, etc.
