Protege DIN Rail
Module Network Repeater

PRT-MNR2-DIN

The Protege DIN Rail Module Network repeater is designed to extend the network capabilities of the Protege system, allowing network access where distance or physical structures may make cabling difficult. The repeater is added to the system via RS-485 or ethernet and provides optical isolation between up to three branches of the module network.

3 isolated RS-485 connections
RS-485 or ethernet network expansion
Configurable RS-485 biasing

Features

Network Expansion

The network repeater provides the ideal solution for:

Module networks that run between two buildings
Resolving network connectivity / communication issues caused by ground loops or long distance runs
Extending the LAN using ethernet to remove the need to run expensive cabling over long networks
Extending the RS-485 module network
Creating isolated RS-485 networks for keypads or devices located outside or in publicly accessible areas
Locations where physical wiring is difficult
Replacing existing systems that use spur wiring

Web Interface

The built-in web interface enables you to configure and manage the network repeater's settings, monitor the status of the network repeater, and view version information.

Configurable RS-485 Biasing

RS-485 biasing on the COM ports enable you to set master or slave configuration for each port. This allows for more reliable communication between the network repeater and the connected modules.

Isolated RS-485 Network Spurs

The RS-485 ports can be used to extend the network into up to three optically isolated branches. The isolated communications interface offers full galvanic isolation to prevent ground loop noise and cross-phase ground differential between network devices. This enables the creation of isolated RS-485 networks for keypads or devices that are located outside or in publicly accessible areas, or for replacing existing systems using spur wiring.

LED Indicators

The network repeater features comprehensive diagnostic indicators that can aid in diagnosing faults and conditions. LED indicators on the network repeater include:

Status indicator
Fault indicator
Power indicator
Ethernet indicator
COM indicators

Ethernet Expansion

The ethernet solution allows the network repeater to communicate via UDP through a switch or router. You can connect the network repeater via ethernet to link module networks running between two buildings (within close proximity), removing the need to run expensive cabling over long networks, and to enable the network to reach physical locations where traditional wiring is difficult.

RS-485 Expansion

With RS-485 you can insert the network repeater anywhere within the LAN to strengthen communications, resolve network issues or extend the RS-485 network beyond the 900m (3000ft) limit.
