Overview

EKI-1221The EKI-1200 series Modbus gateways are bi-directional gateways for integrating new and existing Modbus/RTU and Modbus/ASCII serial devices to newer TCP/IP networked-based devices. The EKI-1221 features two independent Ethernet ports and MAC addresses to provide a redundant networking mechanism to guarantee Ethernet networking reliability. They provide a simple and cost-effective way to bring the advantage of remote management and data accessibility to thousand of devices that can not connect to a network. The EKI-1221 provides a feature that can allow users to select master or slave operation mode for each serial port. They not only allow an Ethernet master to control serial slaves, but also allow serial masters to control Ethernet slaves.

Features

  • Provides 2 x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports for LAN redundancy
  • Integrates Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU/ASCII networks
  • Supports baud rates up to 921.6kbps
  • Supports up to 16 connections per serial port under Modbus master mode and 32 sessions under Modbus slave mode
  • Software selectable RS-232/422/485 communication
  • Mounts on DIN-rail, wall or panel
  • Built-in 15KV ESD protection for all serial signals
  • Automatic RS-485 data flow control
  • Provides rich configuration methods including Windows utility, Telnet console, and Web Browser
  • Supports Windows XP/7/8.1/10.
    Windows Server 2003/2008/2012/2016/2019 and Linux
  • ƒ Supports surge protection for DC power ports with line-to-line (2 kV) and line-to-earth (4 kV) for signal ports with 4 kV
  • "I" models support a wide operating temperature
  • "CI" models support isolation and wide operating temperature
