Gateway Zigbee Modbus Ethernet

The ZC-GW-BB-EM is part of the family of 4-noks wireless ZigBee devices. Its purpose is to be an interface betwen a personal computer or an advanced PLC with the network of 4-noks devices using an universal standard protocol such as Modbus/TCP-IP and trough Ethernet network

The use of an Ethernet network allows to position the personal computer or the PLC in places that are far from the ZigBee network or in very remote places if an Internet connection is avalable.

Its role in the ZigBee network is coordinator, i.e. it forms an active part of creating the network and maintaining wireless traffic from and to other similar devices. Furthermore it can function as parent divice for battery powered sensors of the same family and saves data that they asynchronously send regardless of Modbus request.

In conjunction with the device ZR-BR-EM, this gateway offers a transparent Modbus channel.
