Modbus Gateway

Through our partner, Metromatics offers the STM-501C MODBUS Gateway, which enables seamless communication by converting legacy MODBUS RTU/ASCII devices to MODBUS TCP.

Used across various industries and applications that rely on industrial automation and control systems.  Such as manufacturing, energy and utilities, oil and gas, building automation and much more.

Metromatics provides comprehensive sales, service, and support for Modbus Gateways throughout Australia.

The Model STM-501C is a Modbus Gateway.  Firstly, it allows either MODBUS serial masters or slaves to communicate with MODBUS TCP slaves or masters. Additionally, it supports multiple MODBUS TCP masters.  Achieved by interacting with a serial network, efficiently managing and queuing queries to ensure smooth communication.

Secondly, the STM-501C is an ideal solution for integrating legacy systems into modern MODBUS TCP networks.  As it offers flexibility, security, and ease of use and other key features highlighted below.

Key Features of Modbus Gateway

  1. Versatile Communication: Acts as a gateway between MODBUS RTU/ASCII and MODBUS TCP networks.  Achieved by supporting up to 8 MODBUS TCP slaves, with user-defined UID ranges.
  2. Inactive Timeout Function: Provides a customisable timeout feature.  Therefore, disconnecting inactive TCP/IP connections to free up resources.  In addition, avoiding occupying connection slots unnecessarily.
  3. User-Friendly Configuration Tools: Equipped with management software that allows easy configuration via local area network (independent of subnet) or wide area network. Configuration can also be done via a console port, telnet connection, or through a web browser interface.
  4. Multiple Mounting Options: Offers flexibility with both DIN-Rail and panel mounting options.  Therefore, making it suitable for a variety of installation environments.
  5. Supports Multiple Serial Interfaces: The device supports RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 serial interfaces, enabling integration with a wide range of serial devices.
  6. Ethernet Compatibility: Supports 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, facilitating fast and reliable communication in both LAN and WAN environments.
  7. Security: Management access is password protected to ensure secure operation and configuration.
  8. Loopback Mode: Offers a loopback mode for easy troubleshooting and testing of network configurations.
