Product Description

The SUBCON-PLUS-MODBUS/IL/BK is a communication module from Phoenix Contact, designed to integrate and facilitate communication between Modbus-based devices in industrial applications. The SUBCON-PLUS series is part of Phoenix Contact's signal conditioning and communication solutions that are used to interface industrial automation equipment and systems, including controllers, sensors, actuators, and more. The Modbus/IL variant of the SUBCON-PLUS module allows for Modbus RTU communication over industrial networks, and the IL (Interface Layer) refers to its function as an intermediary layer for data communication and management.
