GRID45™ Modbus TCP Ethernet Module

The GRID45 Modbus TCP module makes it easy for OEMs to add Modbus TCP Ethernet to their products. The module is designed to connect directly to a UART interface on a host processor. If the product is already using Modbus RTU/ASCII through a serial port, in most cases, it can become a Modbus TCP Ethernet port with little to no changes to the embedded host firmware. For OEMs, the GRID45 Modbus module can work with proprietary serial protocols or Modbus client applications. Software This GRID45 is preloaded with Modbus firmware and requires no changes by the customer. The firmware is optimized to bridge Modbus TCP to a Modbus serial server. It maps all current Modbus commands and registers from Modbus TCP to Modbus serial commands and registers. As a result, this GRID45 will send and receive your serial Modbus data transactions and convert them to Modbus TCP transactions over the network. Advantages of Modbus TCP over Modbus RTU  Allows users to send and receive data over a standar
