PLANET Technology today announced the launch of the IMG-2100T , a rugged, IP-based Modbus gateway designed to bridge the gap between traditional serial devices and modern Ethernet networks—ideal for industrial automation and smart infrastructure.

The IMG-2100T functions as a versatile conversion bridge, enabling equipment using Modbus RTU/ASCII protocols via RS-232/422/485 interfaces to connect seamlessly to a Modbus TCP/IP network through its 10/100BASE-TX RJ-45 Ethernet port.

It supports both RTU Master/Slave and ASCII Master/Slave serial modes and can manage up to 32 simultaneous TCP slave requests in Master mode or 32 TCP master connections in Slave mode—perfect for complex industrial networking setups.

Remote Management & Smart Tools

For efficient deployment and maintenance, the IMG-2100T offers robust remote management via web-based UI and Telnet, plus support for PLANET Modbus Gateway Utility and Smart Discovery Utility that simplify IP configuration and device detection.

Built for durability, this gateway is housed in a compact, IP30-rated metal case, suitable for wall mounting and optimized for tight cabinet spaces. It features exceptional resilience against electromagnetic interference and surges, with an operating range of –40 °C to +75 °C.

Enhanced Reliability with Dual Power Input

The IMG-2100T ensures continuous operation through a dual power input system, compatible with 9–48 V DC or 24 V AC, complete with failover support to automatically switch to a backup power source if needed—minimizing downtime in critical environments.

Advanced Monitoring Features

Administrators can access detailed serial port traffic metrics—including total bytes and frame counts transmitted and received—via remote web/Telnet interfaces, enhancing troubleshooting and network visibility.
