Multi-Host Polling Support

The storage Modbus gateway manages concurrent TCP polling requests from up to 7 SCADA clients, sequencing commands to prevent RS485 bus collisions.

Multi-Host Polling Modbus TCP Concurrent Request Arbitration

Customizable Registration & Heartbeat Packets

Sends persistent TCP heartbeat strings to prevent carrier disconnections, and auto-injects ASCII/Hex registration packets to verify remote slave IDs.

Custom TCP Heartbeat Packets and Hex ASCII Registration Strings

Wide Voltage Input & Protection

Supports DC 9~48V wide voltage input. Utilizes internal galvanic insulation to ensure the SECC metal chassis remains non-conductive during electrical surges.

āœ“ Zero-Delay Modbus Polling: Built-in “Storage Modbus Gateway” caches register data locally, drastically reducing cloud polling latency to under 3ms and eliminating RS485 bus bottlenecks.
āœ“ Advanced Device Management: Supports MAC address reporting upon connection. Enables remote device discovery, configuration, and firmware FOTA upgrades via the cloud.
āœ“ Developer-Friendly Tools: Includes the powerful VirCom configuration utility and a DLL development library for custom secondary IoT integration.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the gateway secure M2M transmission across public networks?
The VT-DTU series natively features a VPN management menu within its Web configuration interface and supports carrier private APN connections, allowing you to establish encrypted data tunnels to remote cloud servers .
Can multiple SCADA platforms poll the same RS485 slave simultaneously?
Yes . The VT-DTU features Multi-Host Polling support . It intelligently queues and schedules concurrent Modbus TCP requests from up to 7 different cloud platforms, delivering responses sequentially without crashing the RS485 end devices .
How does the router handle temporary carrier network dropouts?
Besides the hardware watchdog, the gateway supports active network link detection using Ping . If a set number of pings fail, the module automatically forces a reconnection to re-establish the TCP link .
