Do you know if there is a Modbus TCP/IP module available for GE products? Additionally, I'm interested in how to set up communication between an RX3i system and Bacnet protocol. Thank you.
The IC695ETM001 module has the capability to support Modbus TCP in both client and server modes. While there is no direct BACNET interface available, the Red Lion G3 series of HMI devices can support BACNET and act as a bridge between systems.
I originally believed that the IC695ETM001 module was specifically designed for Ethernet connectivity.
This device features an Ethernet module that operates using the Modbus TCP protocol, a popular Ethernet communication standard.
Modbus TCP/IP operates on Ethernet infrastructure, as explained by Steve Bailey. This protocol involves wrapping a modbus packet within a standard Ethernet protocol packet. A dedicated encoder is required to encapsulate the data, while a TCP/IP decoder is needed to extract the information. Attempting to send a modbus packet to a conventional Ethernet device will not yield the desired outcome. A crucial question to consider is whether modbus TCP/IP packets can coexist with standard Ethernet packets on the same network without causing disruptions. Typically, the module processes PLC data, generates a modbus packet, encases it in an Ethernet packet, and transmits it accordingly.
You initially asked about locating a module for the Rx3i that can communicate using Modbus TCP/IP. After some research, I found a suitable module. Although you expressed some skepticism, I am confident that the IC695ETM001 is capable of handling the complex double wrapped packets associated with Modbus TCP/IP. The module's specifications, as listed in the GFA-406F catalog on page 65 under the "Protocol Support" section, confirm that it supports Modbus TCP as both a client and a server. This means that the module can both encapsulate and transmit packets, as well as receive and extract packets.
Yes, there is a Modbus TCP/IP module available for GE products, specifically the GE Intelligent Platforms PACSystems RX3i. As for the Bacnet protocol, you can use a communication module such as the RX3i Serial Communications module or a gateway that can translate between Bacnet and RX3i's native protocol. It's important to fully understand the protocols and configuration settings for both Bacnet and your RX3i setup, as they can be quite complex. I'd recommend reading the user manual or reaching out to GE's technical support for detailed information.
Yes, there certainly is a Modbus TCP/IP module available for GE products. GE RX3i serial communications modules support a wide range of protocols including Modbus TCP/IP. Regarding communication between an RX3i system and the Bacnet protocol, you would want to leverage a gateway device to translate between the two protocols. The Modbus data would feed into the gateway and it would send out Bacnet protocol data to your various devices. However, ensure you thoroughly understand both protocols as the data translation process can sometimes be a little tricky. Good luck with your setup!
Yes, there is indeed a Modbus TCP/IP module available for GE products; you'd be specifically looking for the MEBx module which is commonly used. As for communication between an RX3i system and Bacnet protocol, the most straightforward approach would probably be using a protocol gateway like the FieldServer or a similar device. It lets you directly translate data between different protocol devices and systems, essentially serving as a 'translator' for RX3i and Bacnet. Hope this helps!
Yes, GE does offer a Modbus TCP/IP module known as IC695ETM001 for RX3i systems. As for setting up communication between RX3i and Bacnet, you might need an external gateway to facilitate the interaction between these two protocols. Companies like Sierra Monitor or FieldServer have products that can serve as this sort of intermediary. Remember, it's crucial to have a thorough understanding of your system’s needs – the type and amount of data points being passed, read/write requirements, etc. to set up a seamless communication system.
Yes, there are Modbus TCP/IP modules available for GE products, particularly within their PACSystems line, which should meet your needs. For setting up communication between an RX3i system and Bacnet, you might want to look into using a BACnet/IP gateway that can translate the protocol, making it easier to integrate with your RX3i setup. Also, make sure to check the documentation for both systems to ensure correct configuration of addresses and parameters for seamless communication!
