Description

Carlo Gavazzi SD2DUG24: Compact DIN-Rail Modbus TCP/IP to Modbus RTU/ASCII Communication Gateway

The Carlo Gavazzi SD2DUG24 is a robust and versatile industrial communication gateway designed to bridge the gap between modern Ethernet-based networks and traditional serial fieldbus systems. This compact protocol converter is an essential component for enabling seamless Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) connectivity and Industry 4.0 data acquisition strategies.

As a powerful Modbus Gateway, it facilitates bidirectional communication, allowing a Modbus TCP/IP Master (such as a SCADA system, PLC, or HMI) to easily access data from Modbus RTU and Modbus ASCII Slave devices (including energy meters, I/O modules, sensors, and drives). Its compact DIN-rail mounting design makes it ideal for space-constrained control panel installations.
