The UEIModbus™ Cubes are compact, rugged, Ethernet based data acquisition and control interface that communicates with a host computer or PLC over Modbus TCP. The UEIModbus 300 provides slots for 3 I/O boards and is 4" x 4" x 4". Its flexibility allows you to configure one or more Cubes to match the specific I/O requirements of your application. The UEIModbus is ideally suited for a wide variety of industrial monitoring and control applications. The Modbus messaging protocol was developed by Modicon in 1979 and is used to establish client-server communication between intelligent devices. It is a defacto standard, truly open and the most widely used network protocol in the industrial manufacturing environment. Modbus devices communicate using a client-server configuration. Only one device (the client) can initiate transactions (called queries). The other devices (servers) respond by supplying the requested data to the client, or by taking the action requested in the query. The UEIModbus 300 Cube functions as a Modbus server that is easily accessed by any software client acting as a Modbus client. Most popular HMI software supports the Modbus protocol. The UEIModbus supports all AI, AO, DI, DO and CT layers that are compatible with UEI's Cube architecture. (Other Cube-based products include the PowerDNA, UEILogger and UEIPAC families.) Analog input channels are read using two input registers encoded as a single 32-bit floating point value. Analog output channels are written to using two holding registers encoded as one 32-bit floating point value. Digital input ports are read using one or two input registers (depending on the port width).
