CT-Ethernet TCP/IP and Modbus TCP Interface-Kit

Industrial Fieldbus Communication Kit for Optris CT Pyrometers

The CT-Ethernet TCP/IP and Modbus TCP Interface Kit facilitate industrial communication for CT, CTlaser, or CTratio infrared devices. The interface board, installed inside the CT electronic box, uses a 4-pin M12 connector with IP67 protection and communicates via the TCP/IP or Modbus TCP protocols. Network settings, stored on the board, enable integration into industrial networks. Users can manage the interface through provided software tools, a web browser, or coding examples as the pre-installed C# scripts. The device supports both static and DHCP IP modes, enhancing versatility and ease of use in various industrial applications.​ Various communication options are provided, including an Excel sheet with macros for TCP/IP communication and a description of the Modbus TCP protocol.

  • Ethernet TCP/IP interface
  • Modbus TCP interface
  • Transfer speed up to 100Mbit/s
  • 4-pin M12 connector
  • Full documentation and coding example
