Page 12: Understanding Modbus Gateways
Networks have become increasingly vital for industrial automation applications. Many control devices today do not have a network port and can only communicate with a dedicated local PC or control panel. Advantech’s revolutionary network-enabling technology is now allowing control devices with serial ports to connect to the Ethernet and share networks quickly and cost-effectively. -
