Description
Gateway supporting Modbus RTU, BACnet MS/TP, Metasys N2, Siemens FLN, DMX-512, Generic Serial, and more.
Features galvanic isolation, 9-24 V AC/DC power support, and over 3.5 times more object memory than our XLTR-1000 gateway.
Mirius is a flexible multi-interface gateway capable of connecting various popular industrial and commercial serial communication networks. The gateway also features analog and digital I/O to easily enable networked sensors, meters, and other wired equipment. The dedicated RS-485 network port can be configured for multiple protocols that can be selected at runtime. The multi-interface port includes two dedicated I/O terminals and is jumper-selectable for RS-485, RS-232, UART, or I/O. Each port is galvanically isolated from the other and from the power supply. The Mirius accepts 9-24 V AC/DC power and can also be powered directly from a USB connection.
Using Mirius, serial communication signal and/or I/O data can be converted to a serial network protocol (such as Modbus RTU or BACnet MS/TP), providing seamless data exchange. PLC-style logical, arithmetic, and filtering data manipulation operations, called Database Logic, allow for the construction of complex autonomous conditioning and control functions. A configurable network timeout action can also be programmed to allow each database to address its unique "fail-safe" condition in the event of a network outage. Additionally, persistent user parameters located in the device's internal database are available for calibration data, serial numbers, device IDs, etc. that persist through reboots and power cycles. The gateway also supports a versatile generic serial communication driver allowing integration with any serial device including proprietary or custom protocols using ASCII and/or binary encoding formats.
Mirius is field-configurable and upgradable. Configuration is performed via USB using the Windows-based ICC Configuration Studio for any of the supported and proven serial protocols. To facilitate installation, Mirius configuration can optionally be split into two parts, one performed by the OEM or integrator and the other by the end user or installer. The OEM/integrator uses ICC Configuration Studio to create a configuration for the gateway consisting of protocol objects mapped to the gateway's internal database for each protocol that the OEM/integrator wishes to support. The end user/installer can then use the lightweight Network Parameters Utility to select the appropriate network configuration settings for their network, such as protocol, address, baud rate, parity, etc., and send these settings to the device via USB. These dynamic runtime network parameters can also be set directly via communications to achieve a more fully integrated user experience.
Mirius comes with free lifetime firmware updates, including any new protocol drivers developed in the future. And of course, all ICC hardware products include free unlimited technical support.
