Schneider Electric Modbus RS485 Series Gateway Server

Schneider Electric Link150 Ethernet Gateway – EGX150

Schneider Electric Link150 is a type of communication device that facilitates the connectivity between Ethernet and Modbus serial line devices which in turn allows Modbus users to access information from serial slave devices. Alongside this, the Link150 allows serial master devices to access information from slave devices distributed across an ethernet network. Schneider's Ethernet Gateway provides fast and reliable Ethernet connectivity in the most demanding applications. The Link150 supports devices such as meters, monitors, trip units and motor controls that want to communicate data quickly and efficiently.

How does an Ethernet Gateway work?

First, let us explain what a gateway is. A gateway is a type of router within a computer network, a gateway is an important stopping point for data that is on a journey to or from other networks. Gateways allow us to communicate via sending data back and forth. So, what's an "Ethernet Gateway"? It is a type of communication device that plugs into your device via an ethernet port and allows your modlets to communicate with the internet.
