Introduction 

The NK8000 family provides LAN/WAN adapter products for a safety and security 

network: 

  NK822x series (no longer available, end of service: 31 December 2015) 

  NK823x Ethernet Ports series (NK8231, NK8232, NK8235) 

  NK8237 Modbus Gateway 

  NK8237 IEC 60870-5-104 Gateway 

The 

NK8237 IEC 60870-5-104 Gateway for Sinteso FS20 and Cerberus PRO 

FS720 fire detection systems provides a connection (TCP/IP or Serial RTU) to a 

third-party IEC Host station for supervision and control of fire systems.
