MCU Modbus Adapter

Modbus is a serial, asynchronous protocol. The Modbus protocol does not specify the physical interface. The NC12-MCU Modbus adapter has an RS-485 interface with RS232 port for PC communication.

Modbus is designed to allow a communication between components of an installation including one or several supervision systems.

Amongst the countless advantages and benefits of a communication capability, Modbus is a well spread protocol in the industrial world and allow, for example, interconnection between components for linked actions and information centralisation.

Gateway between Modbus and other fieldbus can be found in the market giving access to several other fieldbus systems.

The Modbus adapter is an optional device for Nokian Capacitors Power Factor Controller NC12 which enables the connection of the NC12-MCU to a Modbus system. The NC12-MCU is considered as a slave unit in the Modbus network. With the MCU Modbus adapter, all NC12 information (measurements, serial number, alarm messages,..) and all parameters settings (switching strategy, protection levels,..) are accessible.
