CODE: EK-BU1-485-TCP
Bidirectional gateway for integrating serial Modbus and IP networks. The Ekinex EK-BU1-485-TCP interface is a modular device designed to enable bidirectional communication between equipment equipped with a Modbus RS-485 port and the IP data network. Thanks to its versatility, the gateway allows serial Modbus devices to be easily integrated into Ethernet network infrastructures, ensuring a reliable and stable connection.
The device features:
The interface is designed for mounting on a 35 mm DIN rail, suitable for electrical panels or distribution cabinets. Power can be supplied in two ways: via PoE (Power over Ethernet) directly from the LAN cable, or via an auxiliary DC power supply (6–36 VDC).
The EK-BU1-485-TCP gateway allows bidirectional conversion of the Modbus protocol between an RS-485 serial line and an Ethernet/IP network. Designed as a universal device, it can operate in conjunction with any equipment that acts as a Modbus master, ensuring maximum flexibility of integration into automation and supervision systems.
In the Delègo environment, the gateway allows the number of RS-485 serial lines managed by the system to be expanded. The Delègo Server has a native RS-485 port for direct connection of Modbus devices; if communication with devices on multiple serial lines is required, one or more EK-BU1-485-TCP gateways can be used, thus expanding the system's capabilities in a simple and scalable manner.
The configuration and commissioning of the EK-BU1-485-TCP gateway must be carried out by accessing the web server integrated in the device. These activities must be carried out in accordance with the system design and performed by a professional. For further information, please refer to the technical documentation.
