GCP-MG Modbus gateway with Ethernet for Woodward GCP-30 genset controls and LS 4 controls
GCP-MG is a next-generation Modbus/CAN gateway specifically designed to interface Woodward's GCP-30 series genset controls (GCP-31, GCP-32), and LS 4 circuit breaker controls with Modbus networks. The 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 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.
Common applications include:
- PLC connection
- Operator panel interfacing
- HMIs
- SCADA integration
- Power station automation
- Gen set control
- Remote control & monitoring
- Data logging
