## S15C Banner Bus to Modbus T-GAGE Converter ## Datasheet - Converts T-GAGE temperature information to Modbus registers - • Compact Banner 1-wire to Modbus converter for use with T-GAGE M18T Series Infrared Temperature Sensors - - - Rugged over-molded design meets IP65, IP67, and IP68 - Connected directly to a sensor or anywhere in-line for ease of use ## Models **==> picture [501 x 57] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> Housing Function Female Male Connector<br>S15 C - BB - MTG Q<br>C = Converter BB = Banner Bus MTG = Modbus T-GAGE Q = Integral M12/Euro-style quick disconnect<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> ## Overview The S15C-BB-MTGQ is an easy-to-use converter that presents T-GAGE temperature data over the RS-485 Modbus network. This converter interfaces to the RS-485 Modbus RTU network through a 4-pin or 5-pin M12 female cordset. To install the converter to a cable: 1. Align the notch in the cable's female connector with the key in the converter's male connector. 2. Gently slide the converter end into the cable's connector. 3. Rotate the cable's threaded nut to tighten the converter down. WARNING: DO NOT attempt to rotate the converter after it is connected to the cable end. This will damage the converter. ## Configuration Instructions ## Sensor Configuration Software The Sensor Configuration Software offers an easy way to manage converter Modbus settings, retrieve data, and visually show converter data from the T-GAGE sensor. The Sensor Configuration Software runs on any Windows machine and uses an adapter cable (BWA-UCT-900, p/n 19970) to connect the converter to the computer.
