ESENET is an Ethernet gateway specifically designed to interface EasyGen 3000 and 2000 series genset controllers and LS-5 controllers to Modbus/TCP networks. It interfaces to the EasyGen and LS-5 controllers via the load sharing CAN bus.
The ESENET offers cost savings compared to traditional Modbus/TCP-to-RTU gateways as no separate RS-485 wiring is required. In addition the ESENET takes advantage of the multi-master capability and fast transmission speed of CAN to offer short Modbus/TCP poll cycles as well as concurrent access. Neither can be achieved using conventional serial Modbus half-duplex data transfers.
A single ESENET added to the CAN network will make all Visualisation Data of connected CANopen controls available available without adding additional load to the CAN bus communication. In addition concurrent and fast read and write access to device Parameter IDs is possible utilising parallel CANopen SDO transfers.
