It serves as a key component to enable seamless data exchange between different devices and systems. This module integrates 4 serial ports and 2 copper Ethernet ports, supporting various communication protocols to meet diverse industrial needs. Its robust design ensures stable performance even in harsh industrial conditions, making it suitable for critical applications that require high reliability and data integrity.
Technical Specifications
Port Configuration
The Triconex4351B is equipped with 4 serial ports and 2 network ports to facilitate multi-device communication. The serial ports are RS-232/RS-485 type with DB-9 connectors, allowing easy connection to various industrial devices. The network ports are 10/100BaseT Ethernet ports with RJ-45 connectors, ensuring fast and stable wired network communication.
Port Isolation
This communication module features 500 VDC port isolation, which effectively protects the module and connected devices from voltage surges and interference. The isolation design enhances the module’s stability and extends its service life in complex industrial environments.
Supported Protocols
The Triconex 4351B supports a wide range of communication protocols to ensure compatibility with different systems. These protocols include TriStation, Modbus, TCP/IP, ICMP, SNTP, TSAA (with support for IP Multicast), Trimble GPS, Peer-to-Peer (UDP/IP), Peer-to-Peer Time Synchronization, and Jet Direct (network printing). Note that the Embedded OPC Server is only supported by Models 4353 and 4354, not the 4351B.
Modbus Functions Supported
The module supports various Modbus functions to meet different data transmission needs. These functions include 01 (Read Coil Status), 02 (Read Input Status), 03 (Read Holding Registers), 04 (Read Input Registers), 05 (Modify Coil Status), 06 (Modify Register Content), 07 (Read Exception Status), 08 (Loopback Diagnostic Test), 15 (Force Multiple Coils), and 16 (Preset Multiple Registers).
Communication Speed
The copper Ethernet ports of the Triconex 4351B operate at 10/100 Mbps, providing flexible speed options based on network requirements. The serial ports can reach up to 115.2 Kbps per port, ensuring efficient data transmission for serial devices. Note that Model 4353 only supports 100 Mbps for copper Ethernet ports, which is different from the 4351B.
Status Indicators
The Triconex 4351B is equipped with multiple status indicators to help users monitor the module’s operation in real time. These indicators include PASS, FAULT, ACTIVE, FIRM, one LINK indicator per network port, one TX (Transmit) indicator per port, and one RX (Receive) indicator per port. These indicators make it easy to identify potential issues and ensure timely maintenance.
Physical Parameters
The Triconex 4351B has a weight of 3.18 Kg, making it easy to install and integrate into existing Tricon systems. Its compact design saves space in control cabinets, which is essential for industrial environments with limited space.
Installation Guide
Installing the Triconex 4351B is straightforward and can be completed in a few simple steps. First, ensure the power of the Tricon system is turned off to avoid electrical hazards. Then, align the module with the corresponding slot in the Tricon chassis and gently push it into place until it clicks securely. Next, connect the serial devices to the DB-9 connectors of the serial ports using appropriate cables. Connect the Ethernet devices to the RJ-45 connectors of the network ports. Finally, turn on the system power and check the status indicators to confirm the module is working properly. Ensure all connections are tight to avoid poor contact and data transmission issues.
