Discontinued products

Some of our SYNPOL®, DICON and SYNPOL®D devices have been in use for over 30 years – and still are due to their high quality and long product life cycle. That is why we continue to offer service and support for some of these devices, carry out repairs and keep the corresponding spare parts in our warehouse. 

In addition, we offer upgrade solutions for all the above products in the form of current product series.

Communication

SYNPOL®D offers via the RS422/RS485 communication port the Modbus protocol in accordance with „Gould Modbus protocol“ Reference guide PI-MBUS-300 Rev. B.

The protocol controls the query and response cycle which takes place between master and slave devices.

The protocol provides for one master and up to 247 slaves on a common line. SYNPOL®D operates as slave within this network and covers the function 1,2,3,6 & 8 of the Modbus protocol.
