The Easiest Way to Add Ethernet
Communications to ModBus Devices
MultiNet™ gives you the ability to connect
ModBus serial devices to new or existing
Ethernet networks. It has a 10BaseF fiber
optic interface that provides high EMI/RFI
immunity and inherent electrical isolation
over long cable runs. MultiNet™ setup is
simple, with a Windows-based software
program for installing and configuring the
communication drivers.
MultiNet™ is Compatible with GE
Multilin IEDs:
MultiNet™ provides a simple way to add
Ethernet communications to your existing
devices, and its convenient size can
