Gateway Modbus Ethernet

Gateway Modbus Ethernet is part of the family of Digitron wireless ZigBee devices. Its purpose is to be an interface between a Personal Computer or an advanced PLC with the network of Digitron devices using an universal standard protocol such as Modbus/TCP-IP and trough Ethernet network.
The use of an Ethernet network allows to position the Personal Computer or the PLC in places that are far from the ZigBee network or in very remote places if an internet connection is available.
Its role in the ZigBee network is Coordinator, i.e. it forms an active part of creating the network and maintaining wireless traffi c from and to other similar devices. Furthermore it can function as parent device for battery powered sensors of the same family and saves data that they asynchronously send regardless of Modbus requests.
