Product Positioning

The ED-EIOBRG-MT is a Modbus TCP coupler primarily used to seamlessly integrate slave devices employing different fieldbus protocols (such as Profibus DP, CANopen, DeviceNet, etc.) into a standard Modbus TCP Ethernet network. It acts as a protocol conversion gateway, enabling a host computer (PLC, SCADA, HMI) to access data from heterogeneous bus devices on the lower layer through a unified Modbus TCP interface.

The maximum transmission distance of the ED-EIOBRG-MT is 100m, and it supports expanding up to 32 I/O modules. As a connection node, it can connect multiple Modbus TCP slave devices to a Modbus TCP network, meeting the requirements of various application scenarios.
