January 31, 2014 - RACO Manufacturing and Engineering now supports two new protocols, EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP, which allow the Verbatim Gateway remote monitoring and reporting system to interface with PLCs and other devices. EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP protocols are the latest in a long line of RACO product advancements designed to ensure reliable remote communications. With these optional protocols, the Verbatim Gateway system is more versatile. Verbatim Gateway is a full-featured automatic dialing remote monitoring system with PLC interface that has all the inputs and outputs of a Verbatim system, plus up to 96 external PLC registers for PLC monitoring.
At any time, the user can check PLC network status, modify alarm criteria and monitoring points, and alter process variables from a computer or phone.
