PROSOFT 3100-MCM

Description

Parameter Specifications

1. Power Supply: The PROSOFT 3100 – MCM typically operates on a 24V DC power supply. The power consumption is approximately 5 – 10W, which is energy – efficient for continuous operation in industrial environments.
2. Communication Interfaces: It is equipped with multiple communication interfaces. It has an Ethernet port supporting a data transfer rate of up to 100Mbps, which adheres to standard industrial Ethernet protocols such as Modbus TCP. There is also a serial port (RS – 232/RS – 485) for legacy device connections, supporting protocols like Modbus RTU.
3. Memory: It has a sufficient amount of memory for data storage and processing. There is around 512KB of non – volatile memory to store configuration data, communication parameters, and historical event logs.
4. Operating Temperature Range: Designed to work within a temperature range of – 20°C to 60°C. This wide temperature tolerance allows it to be used in various industrial settings, including those with extreme temperature conditions.

Applications

1. Industrial Automation: In manufacturing plants, the 3100 – MCM can be used to bridge the communication gap between different industrial devices and control systems. For example, it can enable communication between a PLC using Modbus RTU and a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system using Modbus TCP.
2. Process Control: In chemical and food processing industries, it can be used to integrate different sensors and actuators with the main control system. It can convert the communication protocols of various devices, ensuring seamless data exchange and control.
3. Building Automation: In commercial buildings, it can be used to connect different building management systems, such as HVAC, lighting, and access control systems, enabling centralized monitoring and control.

Weight and Dimensions

1. Weight: Approximately 0.3 kg, which is relatively light and easy to handle during installation and maintenance.
2. Dimensions: It has a compact design, with dimensions of about 100mm (length) x 80mm (width) x 30mm (height). This small size allows it to be easily installed in control cabinets or other limited – space areas.

Features

1. Protocol Conversion: One of the main features is its ability to perform protocol conversion between different industrial communication protocols. This allows for the integration of devices that use different communication standards, increasing the flexibility of industrial control systems.
2. Easy Configuration: Configuration is straightforward. Users can set up communication parameters, protocol conversion rules, and other settings through a user – friendly software interface.
3. Remote Monitoring and Management: It supports remote monitoring and management through the Ethernet interface. This enables users to monitor the device’s status, configure settings, and troubleshoot issues remotely.

Stability and Reliability

1. Robust Construction: Built with high – quality components and a durable enclosure, it can withstand normal industrial vibrations, shocks, and electromagnetic interference.
2. Redundancy Options: Some configurations may support redundancy in power supply or communication, ensuring continuous operation even in the event of a single – point failure.
3. Long – term Testing: PROSOFT conducts extensive long – term testing on the 3100 – MCM to ensure its stability and reliability over a long service life.
