The Babel Buster BB2-6010-GW is a Modbus transparent pass-through gateway that transparently connects Modbus RTU devices to Modbus TCP and vice versa. All requests received from an RS-485 master are passed straight through to Ethernet servers. When configured to go the other way, all requests received from an Ethernet client are passed straight through to RS-485 slaves.

BB2-6010-GW Functionality

The BB2-6010-GW Modbus transparent pass-through gateway can be configured to connect multiple Modbus RTU RS-485 devices to a single IP address on the TCP network. Conversely, the BB2-6010-GW can be configured to connect multiple Modbus TCP devices to a Modbus RTU RS-485 network.

Feature Highlights
• Encapsulates RTU packets in TCP packets
• Extracts RTU packets from TCP packets
• Can map multiple RTU devices to single TCP IP address
• Configured via internal web server
• FCC/CE Mark, UL 916 Listed
• Software Included, No Drivers to Buy

Babel Buster BB2-6010-GW Modbus to SNMP Gateway

BB2-6010-GW is no longer available, out of production. We have a newer gateway that offers higher performance than the BB2-6010-GW, and has all of the same capabilities as the BB2-6010-GW plus some new features - at a lower price. Recommended alternate: BB3-6101-GW.

Babel Buster BB2-6010-GW is a transparent gateway for mapping Modbus RTU devices to Modbus TCP and vice versa. All requests received from an RS-485 Modbus RTU master are passed straight through to Modbus TCP servers. When configured to go the other way, all requests received from a Modbus TCP client are passed straight through to RS-485 Modbus RTU slaves. The BB2-6010-GW is non-mapping in terms of mapping registers. The BB2-6010-GW does not have any internal registers. It strictly maps RTU slave addresses to IP addresses.

The BB2-6010-GW includes its own internal web server that provides a web based user interface for configuring the BB2-6010-GW. Configuration is done using simple templates, and each web page has an online help section at the bottom.
