Mantracourt T24-GW1 wireless telemetry modbus gateway

Mantracourt has announced the launch of its T24-GW1 Modbus Gateway as an addition to its T24 wireless instrumentation range. The T24-GW1 is a gateway that provides a simple interface for users to gather data from up to 100 acquisition modules in a T24 network, using either the standard Modbus interface RTU protocol or a simple ASCII protocol.

The T24-GW1 is already being used for process control applications in areas such as confectionery manufacturing but is also suitable for a variety of other applications including industrial processing, chemical manufacturing, pharmaceuticals and automotive.

The company says the GW1 is basically a data translator. It takes the information from T24 modules and displays the raw number in predefined locations in its registry. Then a Modbus PLC can be programmed to show which locations relate to which module. The PLC can request that information or the GW1 can push the information out to the PLC using ASCII protocol.

The Mantracourt T24 wireless telemetry range is a flexible low power radio system designed to enable the transmission of high-accuracy measurement data from load cells, inclinometers, accelerometers, temperature, displacement and pressure sensors. With a combination of transmitter and receiver technologies, engineers can remotely monitor instrumentation readings.
