Modbus or BACnet IP To Web (HTTP, XML, REST, Json, MQTT) Gateway acts as a protocol converter. It allows Modbus and BACnet IP devices to communicate with the Web (HTTP, XML, REST, Json, MQTT).
Scaling and arithmetic functions are provided to allow data to be scaled and converted between integer and various 32 bit formats such as floating point numbers, integers and MK10 formats. Bits can be extracted and set.
In addition, current data can be monitored by remote systems running applications that can issue HTTP or SOAP/XML GET requests such applications can be easily developed by end users. Of course, this data is available using an Internet Browser such as Internet Explorer or Google Chrome.
CAS Hardware 700
The CAS 700 Hardware device contains 2x 9-pin serial ports (1x RS485 and 1xRS232), and one Ethernet port. The device also contains a microSD card where system files, assets, configurations, and logs are stored.
The device has the following system drivers that can be enabled:
- HTTP REST Server - a passive web server with an API that users can interact with the device to get or set values
- HTTP Push Driver - a driver that can be configured to push data in a specific format (JSON, XML, CSV) to a 3rd party web server. Current data formats are Chipkin's default JSON payload and VeederRoot Tank data as JSON. Please contact Chipkin for information on adding additional formats.
Modbus RTU Driver
The CAS Modbus RTU driver allows the CAS Gateway to transfer data to and from devices via a serial RS485 connection using the Modbus protocol. The CAS Gateway can either be a Client, reading and controlling values from a slave, or a Server, serving data to a Modbus Master.
The CAS Modbus RTU Driver supports the following Modbus Functions:
| - 01 (0x01) Read Coils | - 05 (0x05) Write Single Coil |
| - 02 (0x02) Read Discrete Inputs | - 06 (0x06) Write Single Register |
| - 03 (0x03) Read Holding Registers | - 15 (0x0F) Write Multiple Coils |
| - 04 (0x04) Read Input Registers | - 16 (0x10) Write Multiple Registers |
Modbus TCP Driver
The CAS Modbus TCP driver allows the CAS Gateway to transfer data to and from devices over Ethernet TCP/IP using the Modbus protocol. The CAS Gateway can either be a Client, reading and controlling values from a slave, or a Server, serving data to a Modbus Master.
The CAS Modbus TCP Driver supports the following Modbus Functions:
| - 01 (0x01) Read Coils | - 05 (0x05) Write Single Coil |
| - 02 (0x02) Read Discrete Inputs | - 06 (0x06) Write Single Register |
| - 03 (0x03) Read Holding Registers | - 15 (0x0F) Write Multiple Coils |
| - 04 (0x04) Read Input Registers | - 16 (0x10) Write Multiple Registers |
Web (HTTP, XML, REST, Json, MQTT) Driver
The Web Diver allows for data to be monitored by remote systems running applications that can issue HTTP or SOAP/XML GET requests – such applications can be easily developed by end users. Of course, this data is available using an Internet Browser such as Internet Explorer or Google Chrome
BACnet IP Driver
The CAS BACnet IP driver allows the CAS Gateway to transfer data to and from devices over Ethernet UDP/IP using the BACnet IP protocol. The CAS Gateway can either be a Client, reading and storing values from a BACnet device, or a Server, making data available as BACnet objects.
The CAS BACnet IP Driver supports the following BACnet Services:
| - Who-Is | - Who-Has |
| - Read Property | - Read Property Multiple |
| - Write Property | - Write Property Multiple |
| - Subscribe COV | - Time Synchronization |
Note: Chipkin is always updating the BACnet IP Driver. For a recent list of supported services, please visit www.chipkin.com or contact us. If there are services that you require that are not listed, please contact us to discuss how we can add them to the driver.
