PRODUCT INFORMATION
Vlinx™ MESP211 series Modbus Gateways connect
Modbus devices to Ethernet networks and let you
monitor and control your Modbus devices from
anywhere on the Ethernet LAN or WAN. Supporting up
to 16 masters and 32 slaves, the gateways feature an
auto-detecting 10/100 Ethernet copper RJ-45 port and
a serial port that supports RS-232/422/485
communications via a DB9 male or a terminal block
connection. The product is built for use in industrial
environments, featuring a heavy duty metal enclosure
that is panel (standard) or DIN rail mountable (with
optional adapters). The product is supplied with a DC
power source ranging from 10 to 30VDC and features
a barrel connector.
Ease of Use
Configuration, upgrades and monitoring of the serial
server are simple, easy tasks with Vlinx Manager
Software. It installs right on your PC giving you access
the serial server via your desktop. Remotely manage
the Modbus Gateway over a LAN or WAN via the
build-in web server. This is helpful for off-site
troubleshooting and can be done with a simple web
browser.
