30 ADAM-4572 User's Manual
The ADAM-4572 is designed to be a Modbus data gateway, which serves
as an interface between Modbus serial devices and computer hosts run-
ning Modbus/TCP on Ethernet. Fully compliant with Modbus/TCP, it is
ideal for customers who are looking for an easy way to connect their
existing devices or controllers running Modbus serial protocols (Mod-
bus/ASCII or Modbus/ RTU) to Ethernet network. It functions as a bridge
between Modbus serial devices or controllers over TCP/IP Ethernet.
Benefits are also abundant for customers who want to expand their Eth-
ernet-based Modbus (Modbus/TCP) application.
The ADAM-4572 is both cost-effective and convenient in connecting
your existing Modbus devices to Ethernet running Modbus/TCP with-
out extra costs in network re-investment. With support for RS-232/422/
485 modes, users can very conveniently connect their various Modbus
devices to TCP/IP over Ethernet network. Host and HMI performances
can also be enhanced with load-sharing benefits.
4.1 Features
The major features of ADAM-4572 are described as below:
Compact design without any hardware configuration
The ADAM-4572 can be readily connected to or removed from the net-
work without shutting down the system. The configuration utility will
search the ADAM-4572 devices on the network every 10 seconds. Also,
when you are performing system maintenance, you can remotely con-
nect to the ADAM-4572 and acquire on-site data.
Allow up to 8 clients for data accessing simultaneously
Any client running Modbus/TCP on Ethernet can access data of Mod-
bus serial devices through ADAM-4572. Up to 8 clients are allowed
simultaneously to connect to ADAM-4572 and access Modbus serial
data through ADAM-4572.
