Introduction
Modbus has become a de facto standard industrial communication protocol, and is now the most commonly available means
of connecting industrial electronic devices. Modbus allows for communication between many devices connected to the
same RS-485 network, for example, a system that measures temperature and humidity and communicates the results to a
computer. Modbus is often used to connect a supervisory computer with a remote terminal unit (RTU) in supervisory control
and data acquisition (SCADA) systems.

 Tiny Serial-to-Ethernet Device Server & Modbus Gateway

The tGW-700 module is a Modbus gateway that enables a Modbus TCP/UDP host to communicate with
serial Modbus RTU/ASCII devices through an Ethernet network, and eliminates the cable length limitation of
legacy serial communication devices. The module can be used to create a pair-connection application (as well as serial-
bridge or serial-tunnel application), and can then route data over TCP/IP between two serial Modbus RTU/ASCII devices,
which is useful when connecting mainframe computers, servers or other serial devices that use Modbus RTU/ASCII protocols
and do not themselves have Ethernet capability.

The maximum number of TCP connections for each serial Ethernet

port is up to 32 for tGW-71x, 16 for tGW-72x and 10 for
tGW-73x. This allows multiple masters accessing slave
devices on the same serial port. The new read-cache Cache Manager
function is used to store previous requests and responses
in the memory buffer of the tGW-700 module. When other
Gateway Cache Data
HMI/SCADA master controllers send the same requests
to the same RTU slave device, the cached response is
returned immediately. This feature dramatically reduces the Serial Ports
loading on the serial port communication, ensures faster
tGW-700

3
TCP responses, and improves the stability of the entire
system.

The tGW-700 module supports the DHCP client function,

7 which allows it to easily obtain the necessary TCP/

IP configuration information from a DHCP server, and
minimizes configuration errors caused by manual setting.
The module also contains a UDP responder that transmits
Serial Device Server

its IP address information in response to a UDP search

from the eSearch utility, making local management more
efficient.

The tGW-700 module features a powerful 32-bit MCU

to enable efficient handling of network traffic, and also
has a built-in web server that provides an intuitive web
management interface that allows users to modify the
configuration of the module, including the DHCP/Static IP,
the gateway/mask settings and the serial port settings.

The module contains a dual watchdog, including a CPU watchdog (for hardware
functions) and a host watchdog (for software functions). The CPU watchdog automatically
resets the CPU if the built-in firmware is operating abnormally, while the host watchdog
Low Power automatically resets the CPU if there is no communication between the module and the
host (PC or PLC) for a predefined period of time (system timeout). The dual watchdog
Consumption is an important feature that ensures the module operates continuously, even in harsh
environments.

The tGW-700 module offers true IEEE 802.3af-compliant (classification, Class 1) Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality
using a standard category 5 Ethernet cable to receive power from a PoE switch such as the NS-205PSE. If there is no PoE
switch on site, the module will also accept power input from a DC adapter. The tGW-700 module is designed for ultra-low
power consumption, reducing hidden costs from increasing fuel and electricity prices, especially when you have a large
number of modules installed. Reducing the amount of electricity consumed by choosing energyefficient equipment can have
a positive impact on maintaining a green environment.

Based on an amazing tiny form-factor, the tGW-700 achieves maximum space savings that allows it to be easily installed
anywhere, even directly embedded into a machine. It also supports automatic RS-485 direction control when sending and
receiving data, thereby improving the stability of the RS-485 communication.
