4 serial port Module SP04B

Quick Information

The Brodersen LB2 I/O modules are designed for the RTU32M & RTU32N series. The I/O modules are in two parts, a bottom part containing the backplane bus, and a top part containing the I/O board and logic. All LB2 modules are hot swappable and equipped with a 200 MHz processor to process I/O, handle filtering, SOE, debounce, module clock and general module logic.

The Brodersen LB2 I/O modules are designed for the RTU32M & RTU32N series. The I/O modules are in two parts, a bottom part containing the backplane bus, and a top part containing the I/O board and logic. All LB2 modules are hot-swappable and equipped with a 200 MHz processor to process I/O, handle filtering, SOE, debounce, module clock and general module logic. Diagnostic variables are available for all LB2 I/O modules. Please see the module datasheets for full info.

Module firmware update is handled at the RTU level from the Brodersen WorkSuite.

Use only genuine Brodersen bus cables for connection to Brodersen RTUs and for extension of I/O module blocks. The connection cables for the LB2 backplane bus are designed to meet the power requirements and shielding to run high-speed communications. The maximum overall length of a complete system is 40 meters. Each LB2 I/O module & power supply module is calculated as 2 cm. The cables are as the length indicates, e.g. UCC-610/1 count as 100 cm.

The maximum system configuration is 60 I/O modules on one LB2 Bus. If the configuration exceeds 60 I/O modules, an additional CPU is required.

  • 4x Isolated RS232/RS485 at PORTS 1-4
  • 1x 8way Dip-switch for RS232/RS485 modes
  • 1x 2way Dip-switch, for RS485 half/full duplex modes
  • 1x Dual color LED for status
  • Two LEDs at each port for indicating Tx/RX communication activity
  • Maximum 3 x SP04 in a configuration

 

The SP04 module is ideal if you need to connect legacy serial equipment to your infrastructure, could be serial-based DNP3, 60870, Modbus, omron, DF1 all drivers that we have. As a result, you can connect the past with the future. Try out the online configurator, it will take care of power consumption, and needed backplanes, basically, it will hold your hand from end to end. We also have super how-to videos that will explain how to use the module, set up drivers and give inspiration.

Alternative use of the module:

Disable all LAN ports on your PLC/RTU and only allow connection through a serial port. Run Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). Then programming and website access is only possible through a serial port. Serial ports are not the Hacker’s cup of tea. Hence.. you need to be beside the equipment to make your attempt. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT <—-
