Modbus Protocol Converter

A Modbus protocol converter is a device that converts Modbus protocol communications into other protocols. In doing to, the Modbus protocol converter translates the data into a form that can be interpreted by another protocol manager. This device performs functions similar to a Modbus gateway.

Modbus Protocol Converter Allows Use of Existing System Master
Deploying a Modbus protocol converter at a network site will enable you to transfer your communications to the system master you are already familiar with. Because your Modbus alarms will be converted into another protocol, the master can treat Modbus alarms as any other alarm along a network.

An advanced Modbus protocol converter can translate Modbus communications to modern protocols such as SNMP. Then, these SNMP traps can be captured and responded to using your existing SNMP master.

Eliminate Need for Additional Operators with a Modbus Protocol Converter
Using a Modbus protocol converter eliminates the need for a separate Modbus workstation or system operator. By converting your Modbus alarms to SNMP, you will be able to use your SNMP master as the master for your entire network of devices. With all of your alarms coming into a single browser screen, you will be able to use a single system operator to respond to alarms and dispatch technicians.

The DPS T/Mon SLIM can be used as an advanced Modbus protocol converter. By installing the Modbus software module onto the SLIM, you will be able to view your Modbus alarms using your SNMP manager.

T/Mon SLIM is a Powerful Modbus Protocol Converter
With its compact size, T/Mon SLIM requires only one unit of space on your equipment rack. While being effectively scaled for maximizing your rack space, T/Mon SLIM is still able to provide the capacity you need to covert alarms from several Modbus devices.

If you are looking to mediate your Modbus communications to SNMP or another protocol within your network, you need an advanced Modbus protocol converter. With the T/Mon SLIM, you can convert your Modbus alarms to SNMP, ASCII, and several other protocols.
