LX2 ModLINK™ RS-485 MODBUS RTU
LX2 ModLINK™: buffered bridge that connects Agrowtek GrowNET™ devices to an RS-485 bus for MODBUS RTU and PLC integration. UL Listed.
MODBUS RTU Device Bridge
LX2 ModLINK™ connects Agrowtek sensors, dosing pumps and relays with a GrowNET™ RJ-45 port to a standard RS-485 serial bus using the industrial MODBUS RTU protocol.
An MCU-buffered bridge links the high-speed, full-duplex GrowNET™ devices to an RS-485 terminal block for PLC integration. Ruggedized terminals are rated 15 kV ESD with 70 V fault protection against wiring errors and short circuits.
ModLINK™ Software
Set the PLC communication format and baud rate with the LX1 USB AgrowLINK™ and the free ModLINK PC software. Settings are saved in non-volatile memory on the LX2, so setup (if different from the defaults) is only needed once. A cross-over adapter or cable is needed to connect the LX1 to the LX2; the adapter is optional, or make a cable from the instructions in the manual.

Device Hubs
Daisy-chain HX8 device hubs to the LX2 to connect as many as 247 devices with standard MODBUS addressing. The hub's power supply powers the GrowNET™ devices for single-cable installation of most devices (pumps need their own power supply).
