SmartBob II Momentum Universal Communication
Module (MUCM) . The standard model allows
Modbus serial masters to gather data from
BinMaster SmartBob II remotes.

The system shown in figure
1.1 shows a Modbus Master
(HMI,DCS,or PLC), a
SmartBob II MUCM, and
eight SmartBob II remotes
located on vessels. The
Modbus RTU master has an
RS-232 port that connects to
the MUCM. The SmartBob
remotes are connected to
the MUCM via a multi-drop
RS-485 network, are set for
slave addresses 1 through 8,
and are mapped to Modbus
slave addresses 1 through 8
respectively.

The SmartBob II Momentum
Universal Communication
Module (MUCM) allows a
Modbus serial master to gather
data from up to 32 BinMaster
SmartBob II remotes. The data
from each SmartBob II remote is
presented as a Modbus Holding
Register (4x). Each bob is
assigned a unique Modbus slave
address. A special Modbus slave
address of 247 is provided to
initiate a measurement and to
give a summary of all the
measurements from the
SmartBob Remotes in the
network. The MUCM may be
configured as a Modbus RTU or
a Modbus ASCII slave.
