Prosoft 5601-RIO-MCM
Remote I/O to Modbus Communication Gateway
Product Overview
The Prosoft 5601-RIO-MCM is a specialized industrial communication gateway that enables seamless data exchange between Remote I/O (RIO) networks and Modbus-based systems. This module acts as a protocol translator, facilitating interoperability between legacy RIO equipment and modern Modbus RTU/TCP automation platforms. Designed for rugged industrial environments, it provides reliable communication in manufacturing, process control, and factory automation applications where system integration is critical.
