Glossary
DX83 Ethernet Bridge Acts as a communications bridge between the Modbus RTU network
(Gateway) and Modbus/TCP or EtherNet/IP host systems and includes
the ability to configure the network using a Web browser interface.
DX80 Gateway SureCross™ DX80 wireless network master communication device used
to control and initiate commands to other devices in the system; serves
as a “portal” from one network to another and communicates between
the wireless network and the central control process.
DX80 GatewayPro Combines the standard Gateway and the DX83 Ethernet Bridge into one
device.
DX80 Node SureCross DX80 slave device in a wireless network.
Ethernet An access method for computer network (Local Area Networks)
communications, defined by the IEEE as the 802 standard.
EtherNet/IP Allen-Bradley’s DeviceNet running over Ethernet hardware.
gateway A general network device that connects two different networks.
master Maintains the timing clock for all devices within the network and initiates
all communications with the slave devices.
Modbus A master-slave communications protocol typically used for industrial
applications.
Modbus/TCP An open standard protocol very similar to Modbus RTU except that it
uses standard Internet communication protocols.
node Any communications point within a network
slave Network slave devices communicate to the network master when
communications are requested; slave devices do not initiate
communications with the master and slave devices do not communicate
with each other.
TCP/IP Transfer Control Protocol / Internet Protocol. Several layers in the OSI
model that control the transfer and addressing of information.
