Model MESR424D Modbus Gateway bridges devices on Modbus serial networks (RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485) with devices on Modbus TCP networks, allowing seamless integration. The serial ports can be accessed over a LAN or WAN using Direct IP Mode connections. Supporting up to 16 masters and 32 slaves, the gateway features auto-detecting 10/100. _x000D_

Model MESR424D Modbus Gateway can be powered via a barrel connector or a terminal block. (An external power supply is required; sold separately.) An additional Ethernet port functions much like an Ethernet switch, allowing pass-through connectivity for other Ethernet devices. This port can also be used to "daisy chain" multiple gateways.
