Features:
- Four configurable Modbus Serial ports
- Connectivity for up to 400 Modbus Serial devices
- Optional SD-card configuration backup and recovery
Four independently configurable serial channels distinguish the PLX31-MBTCP-MBS4 from single-port PLX31 gateways. The unit concentrates Modbus RTU or ASCII traffic before exchanging it with Modbus TCP/IP controllers.
Each RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 port can serve as a Modbus Master or Slave, while the Ethernet side provides client and server functions. A documented installation can connect as many as 400 serial devices across the four networks.
Command distribution is an important sizing consideration: the gateway allows up to 160 Modbus TCP/IP client commands and up to 100 commands on each Master serial port. The optional SD card supports configuration transfer and recovery.
