LX2 ModLINK™ connects Agrowtek's intelligent sensors, peristaltic dosing pumps, and control relays equipped with a GrowNET™ RJ45 port to a standard RS-485 serial bus for use with the industrial MODBUS RTU protocol.
ModLINK™ is an MCU-buffered bridge between Agrowtek's high-speed, full duplex devices connected with RJ45 cables, to a RS-485 terminal block for integration with PLC systems. Ruggedized 15kV ESD rated input terminals with 70V fault protection to protect against damage from wiring errors and short circuits.
The MCU data buffering allows the PLC communication format and buad rate to be configured via software using the LX1 USB AgrowLINK™ and the free ModLINK PC software. The configuration settings are saved in non-volatile memory on the LX2, so setup (if different from the defaults) is only required once.
LX2 ModLINK modules are UL Listed for U.S. and Canada. |
HX8 device hubs can be daisy chained to the the LX2 ModLINK™ to connect as many as 247 devices using standard MODBUS addressing. Power is provided to GrowNET™ devices from the HX8 hub's power supply allowing for single-cable installation for most devices (pumps require their own power supply.)
