Gateway Modbus USB – ZigBee
ZC-GW-USB-EM


Key features

  • Protocol converter from Modbus/RTU to ZigBee
  • USB interface
  • Coordinator function for a ZigBee network
  • Local memory stores battery powered sensors data
  • Transparent bridge towards other Modbus devices
  • External antenna
  • Power supplied from the USB port

The Gateway Modbus USB is part of the family of 4-noks wireless ZigBee devices. Its purpose is to be an interface between a Personal Computer and the network of 4-noks ZigBee devices using an universal standard protocol such as Modbus/RTU via USB port. The use of Modbus protocol guarantees an immediate use of many commercials Scada for PC. The device is supplied directly from the USB port; its role in the ZigBee network is Coordinator, i.e. it forms an active part in creating the network and maintaining wireless traffi c from and to other similar devices. Furthermore it can function as parent device for battery sensors of the same family and saves data that they asynchronously send regardless of Modbus requests. If connected with the bridge ZR-BR-485-EM, this gateway offers a full transparent Modbus channel.
