1–2 Physical Description
Figure 3 is an outline drawing showing the
dimensions of the Ethernet Gateway. Figure 4 is a
rear view of the Gateway showing its control power,
Ethernet, RS485 and RS232 connections.
The following ports and connections are provided
on the Gateway:
• A pair of Ethernet ports provides input and output
connections to the either a 10BaseT or a 10Base2
Ethernet network.
• Four RS485 ports support up to four Modbus RTU
networks, labeled Network 1 to Network 4, with as
