Advantech BB-MESP211 Serie

Models MESP211D and MESP211T, Vlinx™ series Modbus Gateways, connect Modbus devices to Ethernet networks and let you monitor and control Modbus devices from anywhere on the Ethernet LAN or WAN. Supporting up to 16 masters and 32 slaves, these 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 with a heavy-duty metal enclosure that is panel (standard) or DIN rail mountable (with optional adapters). The product can be supplied with a DC power source ranging from 10 to 30 VDC and features a barrel connector. A power supply is included.


Ease of Use

Configuration, upgrades and monitoring of the serial server are simple, easy tasks with Vlinx Manager Software. It installs on your PC giving access to 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 an ordinary web browser.
