New gateway enables communication through Ethernet network ICP Australia is proud to introduce ICP DAS’s GW-2212i Modbus/TCP to RTU/ASCII gateway with two-port Ethernet switch and one-port isolated RS-232. The GW-2221i is a Modbus TCP to RTU/ASCII gateway that enables a Modbus/TCP host to communicate with serial Modbus RTU/ASCII devices through an Ethernet network and eliminates the cable length limitation of legacy serial communication devices. The module can be used to create a pair-connection application (as well as serial-bridge or serial tunnel application), and can then route data over TCP/IP between two serial Modbus RTU/ASCII devices, which is useful when connecting mainframe computers, servers, or other serial devices that use Modbus RTU/ASCII protocols and do not themselves have Ethernet capability. The GW-2212i module features a powerful 32-bit MCU to enable efficient handling of network traffic and also has a built-in web server that provides an intuitive web management interface that allows users to modify the configuration of the module, including the DHCP/Static IP, the gateway/mask settings and the serial port settings.
Key features: • • • • • •
Supports Modbus TCP/UDP master and slave. Supports Modbus RTU/ASCII master and slave. Max. TCP connections (masters) per serial port: 32. Read-cache ensures faster Modbus TCP/UDP response. Supports UDP responder for device discovery (UDP Search). Static IP or DHCP network configuration.

Backplane Systems Technology’s new network appliance is suitable for security applications Backplane Systems Technology has released iBase’s INA7600 network appliance, which is based on two 3rd Gen Intel Xeon scalable processors (codenamed Ice Lake). The iBase INA7600 utilises Intel server-class XeonSP CPUs to provide unparalleled computing power, which is most suitable for carrier or enterprise-level network security applications, such as nextgeneration firewalls, IPS, DDoS, and DPI. In addition, Intel’s QuickAssist Technology on the Intel Xeon-based platform enhances crypto and compression/decompression calculations through hardware acceleration. The system has a modular design that allows customers to flexibly configure network ports to suit their requirements. It supports up to eight network modules to accommodate up to 64 GbE ports (with or without bypass) in copper or optical fibre cable. To achieve high availability, the INA7600 is equipped with redundant power supplies and four hotswappable fans. An optional IPMI 2.0 module provides direct access to server management functions and remote monitoring capabilities. The INA7600 is available in two variants: INA7600-NIC and INA7600SHQ, supporting a maximum of 66GbE ports and 34 GbE ports respectively. Measuring 438(W) x 660(D) x 88(H) mm, it has 16 DDR4 RDIMM slots that can take up to 512GB. Standard I/O connectivity and expansion slots include a PCIe x16 slot, an M.2 (M-key) socket for SATA 3.0 or PCIe, an RJ45 serial console, two USB 2.0, and two MGMT ports.
