proconX™ GCP-MG Modbus Gateway for GCP-30
The
proconX GCP-MG is a next-generation Modbus/CAN gateway
specifically designed to interface Woodward's
GCP-30 Series
Genset Controls and
LS 4 Circuit Breaker Controls with Modbus networks.
The
proconX GCP-MG gateway has been developed in cooperation with
Woodward to ensure the highest
possible degree of interoperability with Woodward equipment.
The gateway features CAN, serial RS-232 and RS-485 ports as well as an
Ethernet port and can be mounted on a DIN rail. On the CAN side it
implements the Woodward CAL protocol to connect to the GCP-30 series
controls. On the serial ports and on Ethernet it implements a Modbus
server (Modbus RTU and Modbus/TCP) and accepts connections from Modbus
master devices like PLCs and SCADA systems.
Usage and configuration of the gateway is simple and conveniently
performed using a web browser which connects to the embedded web server.
