Hi Turck Experts!

I am curious to know if the BL67-RS232 Module will take a modbus signal from an instrument and pass it out using the BL67-PG-EN Modbus TCP gateway.

Thanks!

sorry guys quick note...the input modbus signal is an RTU/ASCII if you already didn't know that! colgate.gif

Hi Turck Experts!

Taking a quick "google glance" at the modules I say this would depend on the ability of the BL67-RS232 module to act as a Modbus RTU master rather than the ability of the BL67-PG-EN to act as a Modbus TCP client (master) which is clearly where it is made for.

I can't seem to find any detailed information which RS232 protocols the BL67-RS232 supports, just the attached datasheet which only lists use of "raw" Tx/Rx commands.

for connection of different devices, such as printers, scanners or bar code readers


I would say 99% it talks Modbus RTU.

But why don't you just use a third party Modbus RTU to TCP converter ?

BL67-RS232 module can take any serial signal including Modbus RTU or ASCII. You can also use RS485 module to acomplish the same result vi RS485 communication.
Inside your CoDeSys program you can map any variable to the Modbus resigesters to be communicated to Modbus TCP/IP Master devices. If you have more specific questions you can contact Tuck Inc Applications department and they will be able to help you 763-553-7300
