B&B Electronics MES1B, MES1A manual Features

Introduction

MES1A Converters allow new and legacy Modbus ASCII/RTU slave devices with RS-232 serial ports to operate on a TCP/IP network as full Modbus TCP slaves. All Modbus TCP devices on the network can share access to the Modbus ASCII/RTU device.

MES1B Converters allow Modbus/RTU slave devices with RS-422/485 interfaces to operate on a TCP/IP network as full Modbus TCP slaves. All Modbus devices on an RS-485 bus can be connected to the TCP/IP network via the MES1B, allowing them all to be accessed by Modbus TCP/IP devices on the network.

Traditional Modbus ASCII/RTU master devices also can be connected to TCP/IP networks using the MES1A/B, making the device appear to be a full Modbus TCP master on the network. It can directly access Modbus TCP slave devices. It also can access other Modbus ASCII/RTU slaves that are connected to the network via other MES1A/B Converters, as if it is talking directly to a Modbus ASCII/RTU slave.
