The tSH-725 module is a tiny serial port sharer with 2 RS-485 ports that provides functions such as "Baud Rate Conversion", "Modbus RTU/ASCII Conversion" and "Two Masters Share One Slave". It has a built-in web server that provides web management interface for easy configuration on a web page.
The Baud Rate Conversion function allows different baud rates and data formats to be sent among master and slave devices. Modbus RTU/ASCII Conversion allows for a single Modbus RTU master device to communicate with Modbus RTU/ASCII slave devices through different protocols, baud rates, and formats. It is very compact, and equipped with removable terminal block connectors for easy wiring. The tSH-725 can also be powered over Ethernet, which complies with true IEEE 802.3af-compliant (Class 1) standard. tSH-700 module is designed for low power consumption - it helps save energy.
- Raw data mode for most query-response protocols
- Built-in Web Server for easy configuration (HTTP)
- Redundant power inputs: PoE (IEEE 802.3af, Class 1) and DC jack
- Tiny size and low power consumption
- Baud Rate Conversion
Allow a Master device to communicate with Slave devices with different Baud Rate or Data Format. In the Raw Data mode, it can be applied to most of the half-duplex communications that do not require protocol conversion (Request - Response), such as DCON. When the Data Size is less than 512 bytes buffer size (built-in buffer for each serial port), it can perform full-duplex communication.
- Modbus RTU/ASCII Conversion
Allow a Modbus RTU/ASCII Master device to communicate with a Modbus RTU/ASCII Slave device with different Protocol, Baud Rate or Data Format.
- Allows Two Master Devices to Access a Slave Device
Allows two Master devices to connect to different serial ports and access to the Slave device. Modbus mode can be used to convert Modbus RTU/ASCII protocol, and Raw Data Mode can be used for DCON or other Request - Response protocols. Each serial port can be configured with different Baud Rate or Data Format that depends on connected devices. When two Master devices request the same Modbus information, the built-in Cache function will remove duplicated request message to reduce the load of communication of the Slave device serial port. Note: It may need to set up a longer Timeout for the Upper Computer.
Applications
- Office Lighting Control Application
Connect the two uplink serial ports on the tSH-735 module to the two control panels (Master controller such as TPD/HMI) in the front area as well as the back area of the office. And connect the downlink serial port on the tSH-735 module to the lighting control circuit (RS-485 bus). And then the lighting control of the office can be done by using the Master controller (TPD/HMI) in different locations.
- Production Line Application
In this production line application, the monitoring & control center (HMI/SCADA) is connected to uplink serial ports on the tSH-734 module of the production line 1 and production line 2 via RS-485. And then the on-site Master controller (Panel PC) of the production line 1 and production line 2 are connected to another uplink serial port on the tSH-734 module via RS-232. Furthermore, the downlink serial port on the tSH-734 module is connected to the slave process controller (PAC/PLC) and then each on-site I/O module can be connected to the RS-485 serial port on the slave process controller (PAC/PLC) to achieve monitoring and control of the production process from the Monitoring & control center or from the on-site controllers.
