Diverse Hardware Infrastructure Modbus Gateway supports the four most commonly used communication standards, RS-232/485/422, and Ethernet. The ease-ofuse configuration utility provided with Modbus Gateway can quickly select the hardware interface , and easily switch to the existing communication infrastructure. Industrial EMC protection and wide temperature operation capability make MB5901 ready for every mission. And if cabling is an issue, the PoE-powered version can allow MB5901 to be powered through PoE. Embedded Security and advanced features Relax. MB5901 Modbus Gateway supports OpenVPN and IPsec VPN encryption, allowing you to safely use the device over the internet without worrying about malicious attacks, data sniffing or unintentional remote control of your Modbus slaves. On your LAN, RSTP protocol will provide an additional layer of security in case of link losses. Switching between Modbus Protocols Modbus Gateway supports the standard Modbus protocol and is capable of converting any Modbus protocols between Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU, and Modbus ASCII for all supported hardware interfaces. Modbus ID Routing Modbus Gateway supports various types of hardware communication interfaces, Modbus protocol conversion, and Modbus ID routing. Therefore the Modbus Gateway can integrate your existing and complex Modbus hardware configuration into a simple network that can be easily managed.
