Controlador de gateway Trendnet TI-M12 10 100 Mbit/s Metal DIN-carril

The TRENDnet TI-M12 Industrial Modbus Gateway provides a single serial Modbus port and two 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports in a robust metal enclosure designed for DIN-rail mounting. The device supports connecting Modbus serial equipment to an Ethernet network over Cat5e cabling with distances up to 100 m (328 ft). It complies with IEEE 802.3, 802.3u and 802.3x standards and operates from a wide input voltage range of 12–56 V with a typical power consumption of 3.84 W.

Advantages

The metal housing and DIN-rail form factor deliver mechanical durability and easy installation in industrial control cabinets. Dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports enable fast network connectivity while the single serial Modbus port provides straightforward integration of legacy Modbus RTU/ASCII devices. Wide input voltage range and low power consumption support flexible deployment in different industrial power environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting Modbus serial devices (RTU/ASCII) to an Ethernet network
• Industrial automation control cabinets and PLC networks
• Factory floor equipment monitoring and data acquisition
• Applications requiring DIN-rail mounting and a compact metal gateway

How to use

Mount the TI-M12 on a DIN rail inside the control cabinet and connect the device to the facility power supply within the 12–56 V input range. Use Cat5e cabling to connect the Ethernet ports to your network switches or routers, keeping cable runs to a maximum of 100 m. Connect your Modbus serial device to the serial port and configure the gateway according to the included TRENDnet setup instructions to map serial Modbus traffic onto the Ethernet network.

Recommendations

Install the gateway in a ventilated, dust-free location within the allowable temperature and humidity range for your installation. Verify grounding and surge protection for Ethernet and power lines in industrial environments to reduce interference and protect equipment.
