Babel Buster SPX is a cost reduced version of the Babel Buster SP. Babel Buster SPX is a Modbus to Modbus and a Modbus to SNMP Gateway. Babel Buster SPX is more than a protocol translator. It is a self contained server that collects and distributes data according to the rules you create. The most common use of the SPX is to map Modbus RTU and/or Modbus TCP devices to SNMP. The SNMP manager can use SNMP Get to retrieve contents of any mapped Modbus register. In addition, the Babel Buster SPX uses threshold rule templates to continuously monitor Modbus data and generate SNMP Traps upon sensing of "alarm" conditions.

New in v2.33: Babel Buster SPX is an SNMP Agent (server), but now also includes an SNMP Client. This means the SPX can query other SNMP devices and make their data available to Modbus or rule processing to generate traps not originally provided by the other SNMP equipment.

The primary applications for Babel Buster SPX are serial to Ethernet conversion for Modbus devices, and SNMP access to serial or Ethernet Modbus devices. As a Modbus to Modbus gateway, Babel Buster SPX will map multiple RTU devices to a single Modbus TCP server map. It can also map multiple Modbus TCP devices to a single RTU slave map. The SPX can also do Modbus TCP to Modbus TCP register re-mapping to retrofit equipment to a legacy Modbus register map. The Modbus RTU port can be configured as master or slave. The Modbus TCP port can operate as both client and server (master and slave) concurrently.
