In addition, the ioThinx 4510 Series supports Modbus RTU Master protocol for retrieving field site data from serial meters and also supports OT/IT protocol conversion.Easy Tool-Free Installation and RemovalThe ioThinx 4500 Series has a unique mechanical design that reduces the amount of time required for installation and removal. In fact, screwdrivers and other tools are not required for any part of the hardware installation, including mounting the device on a DIN-rail, as well as connecting the wiring for both communication and I/O signal acquisition. Furthermore, no tools are required to remove the ioThinx from a DIN-rail. Removing all of the modules from a DIN-rail is also easy using the latch and release tab.Easy Web Configuration/ReconfigurationFor modular remote I/O setups, one of the greatest difficulties is duplicating configuration settings to the current modules with different module combinations. After adding, moving, or deleting one of the modules, settings of the unchanged modules, including the Modbus address and RESTful APIs to the upper software, need to be reconfigured. The ioThinx 4510’s user-friendly web configuration tool was designed specifically to make configuration and reconfiguration easy, no reconfiguration effort is required for the unchanged modules. In addition, the ioThinx 4510’s web interface supports module/channel unique names. This feature also applies to Modbus TCP, MQTT, and RESTful API, saving users a considerable amount of time on development and deployment.Built-In Modbus RTU Gateway FunctionThe ioThinx 4510 supports Modbus RTU Master for retrieving field site data from serial meters. After collecting data, users can convert serial data to a variety of protocols, including Modbus TCP, SNMP, MQTT, and RESTful, allowing users to get field site data in their protocol of choice.
