Main Function

LS ELECTRIC Smart LINK provides a stable and highly reliable system operation service through
real-time power data collection and operator-centered immediate control activities.

User-oriented
• Set-up by familiar Windows GUI and console environment
• Simplification of gateway function and ease of data collection

Simple Communication Connection

• Automatic selection and communication of protocols
(DNP, Modbus) by Master
• Ethernet to RS-485 conversion function enables wired
connection of lower devices (Modbus)

Dedicated Wireless Communicationapplication

• Application of dedicated wireless communication module
according to customer installation environment consideration
(RF 2.4GHz)
• Electricity quantity, temperature and humidity data can be
obtained wirelessly(Voltage/current/active power/
active power measurement possible)

IO Module Expansion for Contact Status Control

and Monitoring Expansion
• Expandable configuration of DI, DO, AI modules suitable
for user environment
• DO 4ch: Device for contact control
• DO-Latch 4ch: Device for Latchable Contact Control
• DI 8ch : Contact status monitoring
• AI 8ch : Input range 4~20mA (Default), -5V~5V

Reinforcement of Installation Space Diversity

Through Miniaturization Design Implementation
• Can be directly connected to the IO module without
a separate terminal board
• Can be installed inside the switchboard, Rack-fixed
