The i-7243D from ICP DAS is a solution that provides a communication protocol transfer the DeviceNet and Modbus/TCP protocol and solves a mission-critical problem: connecting an existing DeviceNet network to Ethernet-base PLCs and PC-based configuration and monitor system. It enables DeviceNet networks to be coupled together over the Internet/Ethernet, whereby remote monitoring and control is possible. The i-7243D can be a DeviceNet master device in the CAN bus on the DeviceNet network. It is a “Predefined Master connection Set”, and supports Group 2 only Server functions to communication with slave devices. In addition, we also provide Utility software for users to configure their device parameters for the i-7243D. The following figure shows the application architecture for the i-7243D.
