PN-MB ProfiNET to Modbus RTU RS485/422 Gateway — Ethernet Protocol Converter Module for Siemens 300/1200/1500 Smart 200 PLCs

Ethernet-port protocol converter that links ProfiNET and Modbus RTU over RS485/422, built for use with Siemens 300/1200/1500 and Smart 200 PLC families. Ideal for integrating PLCs, configuration tools and upper-level computers into a Modbus network. Key capabilities: - Converts ProfiNET protocol to Modbus protocol for easy cross-network communication. - Operates over RS485/422 and can manage standard Modbus slave stations. - Maximum Baud rate: up to 4Mbps. - Supports up to 64 command nodes (note: some PLC models may only support a subset of these nodes). Hardware note: PN2 series units include dual network ports with switching function for flexible Ethernet connectivity.
