Banner Engineering R95C 8-Port Modbus Hubs

Banner Engineering R95C 8-Port Modbus Hubs are designed to efficiently gather large amounts of discrete or analog data from sensors, consolidate it, and send it to a control system. The hubs enable the consolidation of up to eight cables, minimizing installation time and wiring between sensors and the control panel. Mounting near the sensors on a machine also decreases or eliminates the need for I/O cards in programmable logic controllers (PLCs). The R95C-8UI-MQ is an analog-to-Modbus hub that consolidates up to eight 0V_DC to 10V_DC or 4mA to 20mA analog signal inputs, then sends them via Modbus back to a PLC, HMI, SCADA system, or cloud platform. The R95C-8B21-MQ is a discrete bimodal-to-Modbus hub that converts signal inputs and outputs and can function as a smart logic device, storing valuable sensor data directly on the hub.

Banner Engineering R95C 8-Port Modbus Hubs feature a slim, compact form factor that is stackable and IP67- and IP68-rated for installation in challenging industrial environments. The side ports on the module enable cable routing without sharp bends, reducing cable damage and maintenance requirements.

Features

Both types
- Mounting near sensors on machines reduces or eliminates need for costly I/O cards in PLC
- Consolidation of up to 8 cables reduces installation time and wiring between sensors and control panel
- Slim, compact, stackable form factor is IP67- and IP68-rated for installation and use in challenging industrial environments
- Side ports enable cable routing without sharp bends, helping reduce cable damage and related maintenance time and costs
R95C-8UI-MQ Analog to Modbus Hub
- Consolidates up to 8 analog signal inputs (0V_DC to 10V_DC or 4mA to 20mA)
- Sends signals via Modbus back to PLC, HMI, SCADA system, or cloud platform

R95C-8B21-MQ Discrete Bimodal to Modbus Hub
- Converts signal inputs and outputs values to defined Modbus registers
