Get ASCII Data Into Your Modbus RTU Slave Device

The 460MMA moves data between ASCII devices and a Modbus RTU Slave. There are thousands of ASCII devices in automation systems. These ASCII devices include weigh scales, drives, barcode readers and sensors of every type imaginable.

With the 460MMA you have a device that you can quickly deploy and easily configure to access and integrate ASCII devices into your Modbus RTU network.

Turn Your ASCII String Into Modbus RTU I/O Data

Now, with the 460MMA you can capture this data as Modbus RTU I/O data and easily integrate it with a Modbus RTU Slave device. The 460MMA lets you see your barcode, weigh data or measurement data as a series of consecutive Modbus RTU Input bytes.

Move Your Data Bi-directionally

You can both send data to your ASCII devices from a Modbus RTU Slave and also receive data from your ASCII Slaves. Up to 255 bytes of ASCII data can be transferred.

An optional handshaking sequence is available to ensure that every ASCII message is transferred correctly.

Configure Your Data Transfer from a Web Page

All the data transfer is configurable using the embedded web server. You define the Modbus RTU Master device address, baud rate, ASCII baud rate and parity.

The 460MMA is the Smart Connection solution for moving data between ASCII devices and a Modbus RTU Slave.

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.

The Legend Begins
"It’s likely that your business isn't industrial networking. And it shouldn't be. You make products, products that do wonderful things. Whatever it is that you make the process creates data. If you're a control engineer and your plants been around for more than a few years your plant floor is probably littered with devices that send out all kinds of data, and in most case data talking in a lot of different protocols. If you're an automation device developer you probably need to move your data into some other network. Either way, you've got a device conversion problem. You have devices that generate ASCII data, Modbus RTU, Ethernet TCP Data, DeviceNet data or some completely proprietary data and now you're the guy that has to move that data to some other network!

I feel your pain… and better than my sympathy I have a solution for you. You see while your business isn't moving data around the factory floor mine is. In fact it is all we have done for more than twenty years now. Our 460 series of Device Converters line is the culmination of those twenty years. You can now move all of your data, where you want, when you want and how you want. Best of all THE HARDEST PART IS OPENING THE BOX".
