SKU: 71

Overview

The MOD+/MTB product combination allows the MTB board data to easily interface to popular PLCs, SCADA systems and computers over Ethernet. The MOD+/MTB has two user-selectable communication protocols available, EtherNet/IP and Modbus/TCP. The MOD+/MTB combination allows integrators to read multi-channel analog and digital data using the MTB Board and communicate that data to Allen Bradley ControlLogix and CompactLogix, and other PLC’s via the MOD+ Module. This document gives an overview of the MOD+ and the MTB. It also lists the Ethernet/IP Object Model Data for the MOD+/MTB combination. For detailed Installation, Operation, and application information for each product, please refer to the following documents: Ethernet Interface Module – MOD+ IOM, Installation & Operating Manual Modbus Terminal Board – MTB IOI, Installation & Operating Instructions.

Ethernet Interface Module (MOD+)
The Altronic MOD+ Ethernet Interface Module is a protocol converter designed to convert Modbus RTU register data from the connected product into either Ethernet/IP or Modbus/ TCP formats. The MOD+ has one RS485 Modbus Master port to allow it to be connected to one Modbus RTU slave device.
It has an integral standard RJ45 Ethernet communications port used to output Ethernet/ IP or Modbus TCP. Ethernet/IP is meant to talk to Allen Bradley ControlLogix and CompactLogix PLC’s. Modbus/TCP is meant to communicate to PLC’s and PC’s.
Modbus Terminal Board (MTB)
The Modbus Terminal Board is an RS-485, MODBUS RTU slave board capable of reading 33 channels. The first 30 channels can be any combination of digital inputs (N/O or N/C), thermocouples (J or K), pressure inputs, 4-20mA inputs, or read any sensor within the range of 0-5VDC. Channels 31 and 32 can only be
used for digital inputs (N/O or N/C). There is also a pickup input.
Additionally, there are 8 digital outputs which are capable of sinking 60V at 500mA.
Each can drive a relay, horn or other related device. There are also two 4-20mA outputs. All of the outputs are directly controlled by Modbus commands. The RS-485 slave communications configuration is 38.4k baud, 8, N, 1.
