Same day dispatch on all stocked items.
Key Features
- Easy protocol conversion – taking Modbus to SNMP, or SNMP to Modbus.
- Easy configuration through web-based configuration pages.
- Ability to manipulate data, establishing criteria for urgent and non-urgent alarms.
- Convert Modbus RTU to Modbus TCP.
- Work as a Modbus master and a Modbus slave at the same time.
- Read multiple Modbus slave devices and consolidate registers to appear as one Modbus device.
- Read SNMP traps from multiple devices to appear as one Modbus slave device.
Here is another scenario demonstrating how using Babel Buster can help to reliably manage urgent and non-urgent alarms across local sites.
Company B is in the process of consolidating alarms and use a SNMP Management System software to monitor network assets. The software licencing model is cost prohibitive to install at every remote site, so the company install a single instance at the Perth office with each site communicating over the company’s WAN.
However, the WAN or backhaul linked to the Perth office has limited path redundancy in remote areas. Due to high system demand and mixture of technologies (such as VSAT, microwave, optical fibre, and leased lines) problems inevitably arise when one of the WAN paths fail. When the link to the head office fails the team at the remote site will not be notified of these critical alarms that are currently happening on their site.
As mentioned, the SCADA master control station can only speak Modbus and DNP3. For the SCADA master control station to present local alarms, system engineers deploy Babel Buster to convert SNMP alarms from the communication equipment into Modbus registers.
