Introduction MES1A Converters allow new and legacy Modbus ASCII/RTU slave devices with RS-232 serial ports to operate on a TCP/IP network as full Modbus TCP slaves. All Modbus TCP devices on the network can share access to the Modbus ASCII/RTU device. MES1B Converters allow Modbus/RTU slave devices with RS-422/485 interfaces to operate on a TCP/IP network as full Modbus TCP slaves. All Modbus devices on an RS-485 bus can be connected to the TCP/IP network via the MES1B, allowing them all

Hardware Overview Link LED When the Link LED located on the Ethernet jack is illuminated it indicates that a connection (link integrity) has been established between the converter and the network. Its color is green if connected to a 100BaseT network; orange if connected to a 10BaseT network. It turns orange briefly during the power up process. Activity LED When the Activity LED located on the Ethernet jack is flashing (green) it indicates data is being sent across the network. This

Hardware Overview Figure 6. RS-485 Two-Wire Connection No jumpers are required to bridge the transmit and receive lines in two-wire mode. Power Connector The Power Connector is a removable two-position screw terminal block with screw down. The MES1A/B requires between 10 VDC and 30 VDC (3.6 Watts). Typically a 12 VDC power adapter is connected to the terminal block via bare wires. The terminal block can be unplugged to remove the converter from service. Figure 7. MES1A/B Power C

Hardware Overview straight-through cable. If the connected Modbus device is configured as a DTE, use a null modem cable. Always check the interface specifications of the Modbus device to determine whether it is a DTE or DCE before connecting. The MES1B is connected to its Modbus device via the RS-422/485 terminal block. In RS-422/485 four-wire mode a cable containing two pairs and a ground/shield is used. In RS-485 two-wire mode a cable containing one pair and a ground/shield is used.
