The multiLINK has many different versions, characteristics, and possibilities. Here an overview of what exists
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)
- Lastly, the multiLINK can be equipped with POE (Power Over Ethernet) capabilities. This is a physical add-on to the PCB.
