Modbus RTU TCP Remote IO Controller BX-MBIO Powering and Configuring

The BX-MBIO Modules are remote I/O controller modules that provide a remote input and output (I/O) using the Modbus protocol for communications. They provide both Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP interface. Modbus RTU is a serial communication and Modbus TCP is an Ethernet communication. They function as listening/replying devices (slave, server) and can connect with any mastering (master, client) device that communicates using the Modbus protocol. Modbus RTU is supported over an RS-485 serial connection. Modbus TCP is supported over an Ethernet connection. Any Modbus RTU master and Modbus TCP client that adheres to the Modbus.Org standards, and support the function codes listed can communicate with the BX-MBIO. The 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 We will be looking at the BX-MBIO-M. This is the Do-More Modbus Remote I/O supported protocol unit. We will discuss the hardware and then connect and configure the unit to work with our existing BRX Do-more PLC. Let's get started.

Here are just a few. - Standalone PLC with built-in I/O - Built-in Data Logging - Communication ability - Ethernet Port, RS232, RS485, USB - support for protocols such as Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, ASCII, K-sequence (DirectLOGIC users), Custom Protocols (ASCII over serial, TCP or UDP over Ethernet) - Built-in Analog input and output - Integrated motion control - High-speed counters - Powerful instruction set (Video of Instructions in software) - Ability to expand the system with a variety of modules - Part of the Do-More series of PLCs which use the same free software. (Do-More Designer) - Integrated simulator in the software capable of external communications for testing The BRX series of programmable logic controllers consist of four different units. They differ depending on the Inputs and Outputs built into the unit and if it has the ethernet port. No I/O Micro PLC unit – (BX ME) 10 Point Micro PLC unit – (BX 10/10E) 18 Point Micro PLC unit - (BX 18/18E) 36 Point Micro PLC unit - (BX 36/36E) These CPUs (Central Processing Units) are also known as MPU (Multi-Processing Units) because of the communication capabilities. https://www.accautomation.ca
