When You Need Sophisticated Data Translation

The nerds deep in their cubicles at RTA headquarters with their coke cans and chocolate bars at their side loaded the 460EDX with a powerful PLC logic engine just like the ones you find controlling processes all over the world. You’ll find this capability invaluable in those cases when you need to transmit and receive custom ASCII messages, translate data (like ASCII to Floating point), total your data or preprocess your data in any one of hundred different ways as it moves from one network to another. With standard, widely-distributed IEC 61131-3 logic you can locally do advanced diagnostics, alarm condition detection, and other functions.

When You Just Need To Move It From Here to There

But when you don’t have the need for sophisticated data translation, the 460 Device Converter comes ready to go for those standard move-it-from-here-to-there applications. Have Modbus RTU Slaves and need to move the data into a Controller over DeviceNet? There’s a 460 for that. Have a Modbus TCP Client and need to move data into a Modbus RTU Master? There’s a 460 for that. You name the combination and you’ll get an easy-to-use, easy-to-install Device Converter that requires NO ADDITIONAL LOGIC.

How Does It Work?

The products in the Instant Device Converter product line contain an IEC 61131-3 Control Engine that moves your data between the different network buffers. Input data from one network is moved to the output buffer of one or more other networks. The same principle applies to data moving in the opposite direction.

Because the unit features a Control Engine the transfer of data can be customized to meet your specific application requirements. Just call 1-800-249-1612 for details.
