Terminator I/O Network Interface Modules

MODBUS RTU Slave - T1K-MODBUS module

The Terminator I/O MODBUS network interface module allows you to connect I/O as a slave station on a MODBUS RTU network.

The T1K-MODBUS can communicate with any MODBUS RTU network master using high-level MODBUS commands.

DirectLOGIC MODBUS Communications - MODBUS RTU Master

Some of our DirectLOGIC Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) can be used as MODBUS masters, directly through a communication port on the CPU.
(Consult our "PLC Hardware" product category Web site sections or our product catalog for more information).

Ethernet Networking - T1H-EBC100 module

The T1H-EBC100 module provides a low-cost, high-performance Ethernet link between Terminator I/O and your MODBUS TCP Master, PC-based control or WinPLC/ DL205/ DL405 CPUs using the H*-ERM module for remote I/O.

• Inexpensive cables and connecting devices
  The Terminator EBC modules are made with industry standard RJ45 connections for easy networking.
  Off-the-shelf Ethernet hubs and repeaters make configuring a network a breeze.
• No DIP-switch settings
  All addressing and set-up features are configurable through the software configuration tool. All I/O data is passed into the EBC buffer and communicated as a block almost instantaneously to the host device.
• Adding I/O modules
  The T1H-EBC100 modules support the full line-up of Terminator I/O discrete and analog modules.
• Supported protocols
  The T1H-EBC100 module supports TCP/ IP, UDP/ IP, IPX and the MODBUS TCP/IP application layer protocol at 100 Mbps maximum.
• Network masters
  Network masters include any MODBUS TCP master (PLC, PC, or other), the DL205 and DL405 DirectLOGIC PLCs and WinPLCs using the Ethernet Remote Master module (ERM), and PCs using PC-based control software that includes MODBUS TCP Ethernet I/O drivers.
• T1H-EBC100 as H*-ERM slave
  When using a DirectLOGIC CPU with an ERM module as the network master, the T1H-EBC100 slave will provide fast analog I/O update times.
• T1H-EBC100 Benefits
  • Save money on your Terminator I/O system when compared with competitive I/O alternatives
  • Virtually unlimited number of I/O points (Up to sixteen modules per EBC system)
  • Deterministic I/O updates on dedicated networks
  • Use off-the-shelf networking components to connect to your existing network
  • Fast I/O updates of less than 1 ms per base
  • On-board serial port for operator panel, or ASCII devices

DeviceNET Slave (T1K-DEVNETS module)

If you are already using or planning to implement a DeviceNET controller network, our Terminator I/O subsystem will help further reduce the cost of your overall application. We now offer the T1K-DEVNETS (slave) module, which allows our Terminator I/O subsystem to be linked with a DeviceNET master controller.

DeviceNET is a lowcost control network that provides a common method to connect on a single network. This advanced communications media and software is referred to as DeviceNET and significantly reduces hardwiring costs. DeviceNET provides specifications for information exchanged between nodes, such as controller data associated with low-level devices and configuration parameters individually related to system operations.
