Presentation
The TCSEGDB23F24FA Modbus Plus Proxy module is a network gateway that
allows Modicon M340 and M580 PLCs to communicate with existing Modbus Plus
devices.
It is not necessary to modify the applications for these devices to communicate with
the Modicon M340 and M580 PLCs, since the module automatically addresses the
platforms and the various communication functions between the M340/M580 and
other PLC platforms (especially 984LL).
The Modbus Plus Proxy offers Modbus Plus PLC users the chance to integrate the
M340 and M580 PLCs easily into their Modbus Plus network and thus to access
advanced communications via Ethernet, or to migrate gradually from other PLC
models to Modicon M340/M580 and Unity.
Key benets
Reduced startup time
b Online conguration of the proxy via a simple Web browser
b Setup Web pages similar to the screens of the Modbus Plus Peer Cop utility,
accessible under Concept/Unity for the Global Data transaction
b Simpler data exchange with Global Data transactions performed on all network
nodes
b Point-to-point communication without programming with Peer Cop
Increased network reliability and maintainability
b Standard diagnostics provide data on all network nodes for easy troubleshooting
b Dual Modbus Plus ports provide Modbus Plus network redundancy
Reduced total cost of ownership
b Helps protect your investment in Modbus Plus while migrating to Ethernet
b Dual Ethernet ports allow connection of both the M340 or M580 PLC and the
conguration PC to the proxy, without any additional switches
