Modbus (TCP, UDP) Network Products

Modbus TCP and Modbus UDP are variants of the Modbus protocol that use different communication protocols to transmit Modbus messages. The message format is the same as Modbus (RTU).

Direct connection to a single-board computer
Use Python or other languages on host system for quick startup
Support wireless systems over Ethernet

Network control via Modbus (TCP, UDP) can simplify wiring, reduce man-hours, and improve maintenance and performance. This results in a shorter development time and increased reliability and service life of the equipment.

Contributes to Analysis of Conditions

Increased productivity is sought in manufacturing plants. At the same time, it is imperative to continue utilizing the knowledge of human experience through the use of Artifi cial Intelligence (AI). In order to use AI, it is important to collect, digitize and analyze the day to day “changes in conditions". Oriental Motor has created a wide lineup of products capable of outputting the various changes in conditions of motors.

Condition Monitoring

Predictive Maintenance Using IoT (Internet of Things)

In order to detect early signs of failure, it is important to monitor changes in operating conditions daily. One way to do this is to visualize position displacement due to fluctuation in temperature and operation time. This video demonstrates how the AZ Series works with an IoT setup to continuously monitor feedback information. Using this information, overall health of components can determined and manufacturing and productivity can be improved.

Industrial Network Communication for Automation and Motion Control

Oriental Motor offers industrial network communication products under the FLEX concept, meaning each product is equipped with an interface that connects to various industrial networks and master controllers featuring I/O; such as PLC, HMI or serial communication such as RS-485 / Modbus (RTU).

FLEX is the generic name for products that are used for Factory Automation (FA) network control via I/O control, Modbus (RTU) control, or a network converter. FLEX products enable easy connection, easy control, and reduce the complexity of system configuration.
