ICP DAS ECAT-2611 EtherCAT slave to Modbus RTU gateway

The ICP DAS ECAT-2611 EtherCAT slave to Modbus RTU gateway and protocol converter allows users to seamlessly interconnect devices between EtherCAT and Modbus RTU networks. It acts as a slave on both, allowing I/O data to be transferred between the two. The data exchange buffer that it provides gives easy and fast transfers, lending itself to a diverse range of applications.

The product can also be used to connect non-networked industrial devices and equipment to an EtherCAT system. It allows serial-based RS-232/422/485 industrial devices and equipment to be easily integrated into an EtherCAT control system without the need to make any changes to the industrial device.

The serial port interface supports Modbus RTU (Slave) protocol and RS-232/422/485 with a maximum baud rate of 115200 bps, and Modbus Function Codes 03, 04, 06 and 16.
