ICP Electronics GW-7472 ethernet/IP adapter

The GW-7472 ethernet/IP adapter to Modbus RTU master gateway from ICP DAS is designed for data-exchanging between the Modbus RTU network and the ethernet/IP network.

It reads the register data from the RTU slaves and then publishes this to the input register of the ethernet/IP scanner and vice versa.

When using the adapter all the Modbus slaves can be regarded as a single ethernet/IP adapter as the device allows a maximum of six explicit messaging connections and one implicit message connection at any one time. This means that seven ethernet/IP scanners can connect to one GW-7472 at the same time.

The RTU master functions can scan up to 30 Modbus RTU commands. While booting up, it scans the predefined register addresses in all the Modbus RTU slaves and updates the input and output register data of the Modbus devices accordingly.

It features a 32-bit MCU to handle network traffic and offers IEEE 802.3af-compliant power over ethernet (PoE) via standard category 5 ethernet cable.

It can be powered via the ethernet cable when using a PoE switch. When there is no PoE switch on site, the GW-7472 can be powered via a DC adapter.
