What is a Babel Buster?
If you got this far, odds are you may be interested in somehow converting Modbus to SNMP. However, Babel Buster is more than just a protocol converter. And although we refer to this group of products as “gateways”, it is technically not a gateway either. It is actually a self contained mini-server, and is a Posix server. On the Modbus side, it autonomously polls one or more Modbus devices collecting and storing its data. On the SNMP side, the collected data is available for retrieval by an SNMP Get, and “threshold rules” are constantly monitoring selected data to see if values have crossed a given threshold. If the threshold is crossed, this constitutes an “event” which in turn can do several things including generate an SNMP trap.
