5201-MNET-MCM ProSoft ProLinx Modbus TCP to Modbus Master/Slave Gateway
The ProSoft Technology 5201-MNET-MCM is standalone DIN-rail mounted ProLinx 5200 series protocol gateway. It enables bidirectional data exchange between Modbus TCP/IP network and serial Modbus (Modbus RTU / ASCII) Master & Slave devices. It acts simultaneously as Modbus TCP Client/Server and Modbus RTU/ASCII Master/Slave, supporting multi-drop serial field networks. Technical data sourced directly from official ProSoft 5201-MNET-MCM datasheet & user manual. Supplied by SHLY-PLC, an independent industrial automation distributor; each unit undergoes visual inspection and functional testing before shipment for retrofit and spare replacement projects.
