Features
The Masibus Smart Converter series addresses a market segment that sets MSC-PS-MS
the focus on cost savings & space saving compact design. The economic Integrates multiple Modbus RTU slaves into Single Profibus Network
design combined with its master-slave conversions makes MSC an attractive Fast cyclic data communication between master and slave
gateway/converters in terms of price, universality and flexibility. Supports up to 100 commands or 512 read & write registers on Modbus
This MSC family converts two industrial protocols simply and efficiently into Diagnostic and configuration via RS232
Maximum of 244 bytes cyclic input and output data on Profibus DP Slave
each other. Be it a simple serial RS-485 bus, Ethernet, classic Profibus or
Wireless-ZigBee, MSC provides a common platform for a transparent conver- MSC-ME-MS
sion of automation protocols. It smoothly integrates into the existing field Supports max. upto 64 Modbus RTU Slave devices on RS-485
networks in plant with both wired and wireless network standards. No. of RS-485 Ports (Modbus RTU Master): 2 (Only one active at a time)
MSC is configured and diagnosed by a dedicated configuration tool (MSC Modbus TCP/IP (ModNet) - 10/100Mbps- auto-detecting
