Modbus Serial Port State Monitoring
The MG-11x Series shows the details of the total bytes transmitted and received on the RS232/422/485 serial interface, and the
detailed total number of frames transmitted and received on the remote web/telnet management interface. This function allows
network administrator to check the status and statistics of the MG-11x Series via the single RS232/422/485 serial interface.
Fiber-optic Link Capability Extends the Range of Network Deployment (Only MG-115A)
The maximum distance between two IP devices via Ethernet UTP cable is 100 meters. To flexibly extend the deployment range
of Modbus gateway, the MG-115A's SFP slot supporting 100BASE-FX SFP modules and more can reach a transmission
distance of up to 120km.
Easy Chassis Installation (Only MG-110/115A)
The MG-11x Series can be used as a stand-alone unit or as a slide-in module to the PLANET Media Converter Chassis
(MC-700 and MC-1500 chassis series). The media chassis can assist in providing DC power to the MG-11x Series and can be
DIN-rail or wall mounted for efficient use of cabinet space, without the need of replacing the existing serial equipment and
