The different versions of our multiLINK

The multiLINK communication module has a base version, upon which several extensions can be activated or installed:

• The base version always has following properties:
  • 1 serial port for Modbus RTU over RS485 communication
  • 1 LAN port
  • the possibility to consult and change parameters & settings of the network port, as well as the serial port(s) on the embedded HTML-pages.
• There are two extension slots onto which extension cards can be installed.
  Currently, we have 2 different extension cards available:
  • a Modbus extension card
  • an M-Bus extension card
• The multiLINK can be equipped with what we call WEB-properties. These WEB-properties  mean 3 things:
  • independent polling of slaves (so no external master needed per se)
  • Modbus TCP capabilities
  • freely customisable web pages (HTML)
  The WEB-properties can only be activated in our production facility in Finland. 
• Lastly, the multiLINK can be equipped with POE (Power Over Ethernet) capabilities. This is a physical add-on to the PCB.
