Product Q&A
Q: What is the primary difference between the -01 and -02 versions? A: The -02 version specifically features a 10/100Base-T Ethernet interface (RJ45), whereas other variants may support different physical media or older serial standards.
Q: Does this module require a separate power supply? A: No, it draws power directly from the 3500 system backplane, simplifying installation and wiring.
Q: Can I access the data using standard Modbus pollers? A: Yes, as long as the poller supports Modbus TCP/IP and the internal registers are correctly mapped in the 3500 configuration.
