Tiny Modbus/TCP to RTU/ASCII Gateway

® Introduction
Modbus has become a standard industrial communication protocol, and is now the most commonly available means of
connecting industrial electronic devices. Modbus allows for communication between many devices connected to the same
RS-485 network, for example, a system that measures temperature and humidity and communicates the results to a
computer. Modbus is often used to connect a supervisory computer with a remote terminal unit (RTU) in supervisory control
and data acquisition (SCADA) systems.

The tGW-700 module is a Modbus gateway that enables
a Modbus TCP/UDP host to communicate with serial tGW-700
Modbus RTU/ASCII devices through an Ethernet
network, and eliminates the cable length limitation of Ethernet Interface
legacy serial communication devices. The module can be
used to create a pair-connection application (as well as serial-
bridge or serial-tunnel application), and can then route data Cache Manager
over TCP/IP between two serial Modbus RTU/ASCII devices,
which is useful when connecting computers, servers or other
serial devices that use Modbus RTU/ASCII protocols and do not
Gateway Cache Data
themselves have Ethernet capability.
The maximum number of TCP connections for each serial Serial Port Interfaces
port is up to 32, this allows multiple masters accessing slave
devices on the same serial port. The read-cache function is
used to store previous requests and responses in the memory
buffer of the tGW-700 module. When other HMI/SCADA master
controllers send the same requests to the same RTU slave
device, the cached response is returned immediately. This
feature dramatically reduces the loading on the serial
port communication, ensures faster TCP responses, and
improves the stability of the entire system.

The tGW-700 module features a powerful 32-bit MCU to enable

efficient handling of network traffic, and also has a built-in web
server that provides an intuitive web management interface
that allows users to modify the configuration of the module,
including the DHCP/Static IP, the gateway/mask settings and
the serial port settings.

The CPU watchdog automatically resets the CPU if the built-in firmware is operating abnormally, while the host
watchdog automatically resets the CPU if there is no communication between the module and the host (PC or
PLC) for a predefined period of time (system timeout). The dual watchdog is an important feature that ensures the
module operates continuously, even in harsh environments.

The tGW-700(non-T) offers true IEEE 802.3af-compliant (classification,Class 1) Power over

Ethernet (PoE) functionality using a standard category 5 Ethernet cable to receive power from a
PoE switch such as the NS-205PSE.If there is no PoE switch on site,the module will also
accept power input from a DC adapter. The tGW-700 module is designed for ultra-low power
consumption, reducing hidden costs from increasing fuel and electricity prices, especially
Low Power when you have a large number of modules installed. Reducing the amount of electricity
Consumption
consumed by choosing energy-efficient equipment can have a positive impact on maintaining
a green environment.

Based on an amazing tiny form-factor, the tGW-700 achieves maximum space savings that allows it to be easily
installed anywhere, even directly embedded into a machine. It also supports automatic RS-485 direction control
when sending and receiving data, thereby improving the stability of the RS-485 communication.
