2.5 Modbus
2.5.1 MODBUS TCP
The FG-110 FF is able to communicate with the HSE (High Speed Ethernet protocol of
Fieldbus Foundation) and Modbus TCP over the same Ethernet port.
2.5.2 MODBUS serial (RS232 / RS485)
The FG-110 FF provides a serial interface based on RS232.
The connection is made using a 9-pin male D-sub connector with the following pin layout:
Table 2.5-1 COM PIN Allocation
But mostly the units are connected to the Linking Device by the Interface RS485.
The FIM-110 FF offers a solution with a serial converter RS232 to RS485 (9185 see “Stahl
Manual”) of the company Stahl. For detailed information please follow the user guide of
