Odot MG-CANEX - Making CANopen field devices accessible via Ethernet In many machines and systems, decentralized components communicate via CANopen networks (e.g. drives, encoders, IO modules). These serial fieldbus segments are difficult to use directly in modern Ethernet-based control systems because they lack a suitable network connection. The Odot MG-CANEX acts as a protocol converter here, converting CANopen data into Modbus TCP and thus enabling direct integration into Ethernet infrastructures. The MG-CANEX works as a master in the CANopen network and connects to standard CANopen slaves (PDO, SDO, Heartbeat). At the same time, it acts as a Modbus TCP server via which up to five TCP clients can access CANopen data in parallel. This makes it ideal when existing devices need to be accessible and readable via SCADA, MES, PLC Ethernet or IoT gateways - without expensive adaptations to the control software. Typical use cases: Retrofitting CANopen field devices in Ethernet networks Retrofit projects with gradual digitalization Integration of external units or machines into Ethernet-based monitoring systems Remote access to decentralized sensors/actuators via TCP/IP The MG-CANEX offers two Ethernet ports with switch function, galvanic isolation, DIN rail mounting and simple configuration via integrated software. This creates an economical, stable bridge between the CANopen field bus and modern Ethernet communication networks.

Odot ODOT-S7MPI V2.0 - Ethernet access to Siemens communication In many existing systems, Siemens controllers communicate via PPI, MPI or PROFIBUS interfaces, such as older S7-200/300/400 systems or CNC controllers. These serial protocols are difficult to use directly in modern IT/Ethernet environments, for example for production monitoring, MES connection or SCADA data access. The Odot ODOT-S7MPI V2.0 solves precisely this practical integration requirement by converting PPI/MPI/PROFIBUS communication into Ethernet protocols and thus bringing data directly into modern networks. The S7MPI can be connected directly to the communication port of the PLC without blocking additional programming ports. Data access for host systems, HMI clients or production management software is possible via S7 Ethernet or Modbus TCP without having to change existing PLC code. Typical applications: Access to PLC data via Ethernet for MES, SCADA or data logging Retrofit projects in which classic Siemens communication continues to be used Machine or line integration in modern IT infrastructures Simultaneous connection of several host clients (up to 32 connections) The ODOT-S7MPI V2.0 creates a practical, network-capable bridge between classic Siemens communication protocols and the Ethernet-based data world - a pragmatic way of integrating old PLC islands into modern automation environments without expensive conversions or PLC program changes.

Odot ODOT-S2/S4E2-4 - Bringing Modbus devices cleanly into the Ethernet Many automation systems use field devices with Modbus RTU or ASCII via serial interfaces (RS232/RS485). These tried-and-tested devices are often difficult to address directly in modern, Ethernet-based control and IT environments (e.g. SCADA, MES, IoT gateways) because the serial interface is not easily accessible to network devices. The Odot ODOT-S4E2-4 provides a remedy here: it converts serial Modbus RTU/ASCII communication into Modbus TCP and thus enables direct access to field devices via Ethernet networks - without additional software gateways or PLC code adaptations. The gateways can address several serial RS-485 buses and bring their participants into the network via two LAN ports. Typical application situations: Retrofitting serial Modbus sensors or counters in Ethernet-based SCADA/MES systems Retrofit projects with step-by-step modernization of the network infrastructure Remote access to field devices via TCP/IP networks Reduction of outdated serial connections in favor of standardized Ethernet communication The S4E2-4 works as a transparent protocol converter with a stable Modbus TCP connection, supports multiple simultaneous connections and can be configured via a web interface. It therefore offers a pragmatic, economical solution for integrating existing Modbus RTU/ASCII devices into modern automation and IT processes.

Odot ODOT-S1E1 V2.0 - Easily connect serial field devices to the Ethernet Many systems still contain serial devices with RS232/RS422/RS485 interfaces, such as older sensors, display devices or field modules. These are often difficult to integrate directly into modern Ethernet-based automation networks. The Odot ODOT-S1E1 V2.0 Serial Gateway provides a remedy here by seamlessly connecting serial interfaces with TCP/UDP Ethernet and thus enabling network-compatible integration. The S1E1 is particularly suitable when existing serial components are to be integrated into modern control environments (e.g. PLCs, servers, IoT gateways) or made accessible via Ethernet without expensive hardware conversions or complex protocol conversions. Typical applications: Networking old RS232/485/422 devices via Ethernet Retrofit projects with gradual digitization expansion Transferring serial data to TCP server/client or UDP networks Replacement or addition of fieldbus segments without complete network architecture conversion The gateway supports transparent data forwarding, both with and without protocol parsing (e.g. MODBUS RTU/ASCII), and can be configured via a web browser. It is designed for continuous industrial operation on 35 mm DIN rails and helps to economically transfer legacy devices to the Ethernet network.

Odot ODOT-PNM02 - Easily integrate field devices into PROFINET networks Many production plants consist of a mixture of older serial devices and modern control systems. Especially in retrofit projects or when gradually replacing components, the question arises: How can I integrate existing Modbus RTU/ASCII or proprietary serial devices into a PROFINET automation network without having to rebuild the entire communication? The Odot ODOT-PNM02 solves exactly this practical integration need. It converts serial protocols (Modbus-RTU/ASCII or non-standard protocols) into PROFINET communication and integrates existing devices directly into modern PROFINET control networks. Typical application scenarios: Retrofitting old field devices or measuring systems in PROFINET-based lines Integration of external units with a serial interface in modern automation architectures Retrofit projects in which serial devices are to continue to be used Reduction of engineering effort through direct PROFINET access to existing sensors/actuators The ODOT-PNM02 handles protocol conversion transparently, thus ensuring clear, structured data communication. Its galvanically isolated interfaces and robust design make it a pragmatic solution for cost-effective modernization and stable field integration.
