VTB-COM Communication Gateway

VTB-COM  is a communication gateway which monitors VTB-Sensors via Industrial CANbus network, log information from the VTB-Sensors and communicate the information to control systems (PLC, DCS, SCADA) or remote monitoring stations (PC)  using a variety of communications methods such as Ethernet, Modbus and USB.

Additional connection options are available such as: wireless, wifi, and cellular (GSM).

The VTB-COM acts as a CANbus master on 4 independent CANbus channels simultaneously, each CANbus is controlled by a dedicated controller chip.

Each CANbus channel can communicate with up to 24 different sensor devices attached at the same time. This makes it possible to run 96 different points to one VTB-COM communication gateway.
