Product Introduction
The ABB MNS iS MLink (Part Number: 1TGE120040R0010) is the central communication and control gateway unit for ABB’s advanced MNS iS digital low-voltage switchgear platform. Engineered for intelligent power distribution and motor control centers (MCCs), the MLink acts as the master controller that aggregates, processes, and transmits real-time operational data, diagnostic metrics, and protection events from individual functional drawers to upper-level SCADA or distributed control systems (DCS). Featuring redundant communication ports, comprehensive self-supervision, and native support for major industrial protocols like Modbus TCP, Profibus DP, and IEC 61850, it ensures maximum plant availability, predictive maintenance capabilities, and high-efficiency power management.
