Table 1 MNS Digital Gateway Modbus Hardware
For communication to M10X, MNS Digital Gateway is connected via RS485 with Modbus RTU
protocol. As one segment of Modbus RTU is only able to support 32 devices, MNS Digital
Gateway for M10x is supplied with four Modbus RTU port to support a maximum of 128 num-
ber of devices.
