Triconex|CM3201|Communication Module
- Dimensions: 16cm * 16cm * 12cm
- Weight: 0.8kg
-
Tricon Communication Module (TCM):
- Compatibility: Compatible with Tricon v10.0 and later systems.
-
Functionality: Allows the Tricon to communicate with:
- TriStation
- Other Tricon or Trident controllers
- Modbus master and slave devices
- External hosts over Ethernet networks
-
Serial Ports:
- Number of Ports: 4
-
Configuration:
- Each serial port is uniquely addressed and can be configured as a Modbus master or slave.
- Serial Port #1: Supports either the Modbus or the Trimble GPS interface.
- Serial Port #4: Supports either the Modbus or the TriStation interface.
- Data Rate: Aggregate data rate of 460.8 kilobits per second for all four serial ports.
-
Network Ports:
- Number of Ports: 2 (NET 1 and NET 2)
-
Types:
- Models 4351A and 4353: Two copper Ethernet (802.3) ports
- Models 4352A and 4354: Two fiber-optic Ethernet ports
-
Supported Protocols:
- TCP/IP
- Modbus TCP/IP Slave/Master
- TSAA
- TriStation
- SNTP
- Jet Direct (for network printing)
-
Additional Features:
- NET 1: Supports Peer-to-Peer and Peer-to-Peer Time Synchronization protocols.
-
Debug Port: One debug port (for Triconex use).
-
Modbus Communication:
- Variable Names and Aliases: Programs for the Tricon use variable names as identifiers, but Modbus devices use numeric addresses called aliases.
- Alias Assignment: An alias must be assigned to each Tricon variable name that will be read by or written to a Modbus device. An alias is a five-digit number representing the Modbus message type and the address of the variable in the Tricon.
- Standard Modbus Devices: Any standard Modbus device can communicate with the Tricon through the TCM, provided that aliases are assigned to the Tricon variables.
- Host Computer Access: Alias numbers must also be used when host computers access the Tricon through other communication modules.
- Maximum TCMs: A single Tricon system supports a maximum of four TCMs, which must reside in two logical slots.
- TCM Models: Different TCM models cannot be mixed in one logical slot.
- Total Modbus Masters or Slaves: A total of 32 Modbus masters or slaves, including network and serial ports.
- Hot-Spare Feature: Not available for the TCM, but a faulty TCM can be replaced while the controller is online.
