3170-MBS Modbus Slave Communication Adapter

The 3170-MBS Modbus Slave Communication Adapter enables seamless integration of Rockwell Automation FLEX and Integra I/O modules with any Modbus Master. It is designed to provide a simple and efficient solution for adding FLEX I/O into applications that involve other manufacturers' Modbus-compatible devices.

Key Features

• Multi-drop Capability: Can be connected via an RS-485 link to other Modbus-compatible devices.
• Direct Interface: Connects Analog and/or Discrete I/O directly to a Host system.
• Flexibility in Integration: Allows FLEX I/O modules to be integrated into existing systems with devices from other manufacturers.
• Pre-mapped Data Images: FLEX and Integra module data images are pre-mapped into Modbus addresses, simplifying the process of reading and writing data via standard Modbus commands.
• Full Access: Offers read/write access to all FLEX and Integra I/O modules, enabling full functionality of I/O modules from the Host system.
• Modbus Command Support: Supports Function Codes 3, 4, 6, and 16 for reading/writing data values and Function Codes 1, 2, and 5 for bit-level access.
