FBM230 P0926GU Main (serial and TCP/IP) Modbus driver

Product details:

Field Device System Integrator (FDSI) Modbus master drivers can integrate vendor-independent single – or dual-port Modbus devices using one of several Modbus protocols with one of the I/A series systems.
The Modbus Master driver allows I/A series systems to acquire real-time data from the accessory Modbus device, manipulate the data using state-of-the-art control algorithms, and write output data to the device.
The Modbus Master driver downloads to the appropriate single or redundant FBM and allows the FBM conversion to be sent to the I/A series data system from the field device and vice versa.
Figure 1 shows a typical Modbus device equipped with a single FBM230 to communicate with a serial port. Figure 2 shows a typical example of a configured Ethernet Modbus device communicating with FBM.

The FBM230 comes with four ports, each of which it can be configured to use RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 physical interface standards. The FBM230 supports single-port Modbus RTU or Modbus ASCII communication protocols and provides serial I/A series systems and devices. Refer to PSS 21H-2Z30 B4.

The main features of FDSI Modbus Master driver are:
Integrates single-port and/or dual-port Modbus
The device inputs I/A series system level on the fieldbus
Real-time data exchange between modbuses
Equipment and I/A series systems
Comply with the globally recognized and widely adopted Modbus communication standards
FDSI Fieldbus modules for simplex (FBM230 or 232) or redundant (FBM231 or 233) operation
Three Modbus protocols are supported
ASCII serial protocol for RTU and Modbus
Ethernet devices use Modbus/TCP
Optional vendor-specific equipment
Modbus driver changes
FDSI hardware provides a barrier security problem for networks
