Modbus Slave Communications Adapter

3170-MBS

Product Description

The 3170-MBS Modbus Slave Communication Adapter can interface up to 8 Rockwell Automation FLEX and/or Integra I/O modules directly with any Modbus Master.

Features and Benefits

The 3170-MBS module is simple to use, requiring only the setting of several dip-switch options. The Flex and Integra module data images are pre-mapped into Modbus addresses to simplify reading and writing using standard Modbus commands. Each product is shipped with a User Manual detailing its installation and operation.

Applications

The 3170-MBS module provides highly configurable Slave capabilities to the Rockwell Automation FLEX and/or Integra platform. The product is frequently used in two general applications, SCADA Slave or as a foreign device interface master. In a SCADA Slave application the module could be used in remote controller racks as is often used in the oil and gas, or wastewater industries.

Functional Specifications

• The 3170-MBS has read/write access to all Flex and Integra modules. This allows a Host system to perform all functions necessary to get all I/O modules functioning. All register data values can be accessed using Function Codes 3, 4, 6 and 16. Bit level Function Codes 1, 2, and 5 are also supported.
• Multi-drop on an RS-485 link with other Modbus compatible devices
• Interface analog and/or discrete I/O directly to a host
