Click PLC to Modbus TCP RTU Remote IO Controller BX MBIO

The Click PLC can communicate to remote I/O (input and output) controller modules using the Modbus protocol for communications. The BX-MBIO provides both Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP interfaces for remote IO. Modbus RTU is a serial communication and Modbus TCP is an Ethernet communication. More information can be obtained on our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video. https://accautomation.ca/click-plc-to-modbus-tcp-rtu-remote-io-controller-bx-mbio Modbus RTU is supported over an RS-485 serial connection. Modbus TCP is supported over an Ethernet connection. They function as listening/replying devices (slave, server) and can connect with any mastering (master, client) device that communicates using the Modbus protocol. Previously we looked at the BX-MBIO Modbus RTU TCP Remote IO Controller wiring and configuration. Modbus RTU TCP Remote IO Controller BX-MBIO https://accautomation.ca/modbus-rtu-tcp-remote-io-controller-bx-mbio - BX-MBIO Hardware Video https://youtu.be/cqP78u4YVGQ - BX-MBIO Powering and Configuring Video https://youtu.be/XIsL86ou44U We will connect the Click Ethernet PLC to the Modbus remote IO. This will be done using the Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU protocol. Ethernet and serial RS485 communication to the BX-MBIO unit will be the media. The BX-MBIO remote I/O expansion units feature the following: • RJ45 Ethernet port for communications via Modbus TCP • RS485 serial port for communications via Modbus RTU • Supports up to 8 additional Expansion Modules (Add the discrete or analog I/O you require) • AC and DC powered units available • AC powered units include an integral 24VDC auxiliary output power supply • Power connector and serial port connector included Let's get started.

Here are just a few. - Investment is low for the hardware and the software is free - Standalone PLC with built-in I/O - Communication ability - Ethernet Port, RS232, RS485 - support for protocols such as Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, etc. - Ability to expand the system with a variety of modules including RTD and Thermocouple inputs directly. https://www.accautomation.ca
