Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the MPB.533.00 be used in a PLM500 system running Modbus TCP instead of RTU?
A: The MPB.533.00 is a serial (RTU) interface board. For Modbus TCP you would require a separate Ethernet communication module. Contact us to identify the correct Ethernet board for your PLM500 revision.
Q: Is this board compatible with third-party HMIs such as Weintek or Weinview panels?
A: Yes — any HMI with a Modbus RTU RS-485 or RS-232 driver can communicate with the PLM500 via the MPB.533.00, provided baud rate and station address are configured to match.
Q: What is the maximum cable length for RS-485 with this board?
A: Per TIA/EIA-485-A, RS-485 supports up to 1,200 m (4,000 ft) at 100 kbps. Practical installations typically use 500–800 m with proper shielding and termination.
Q: Do you offer an exchange program if my existing MPB.533.00 is faulty?
A: Yes. Send your defective board to our facility; we will test, repair or replace, and return a verified unit. Contact support@konmask.com for exchange terms.
Q: How quickly can you ship to Europe / North America?
A: DHL Express typically delivers to EU and North America within 3–5 business days from our warehouse. Expedited options are available upon request.
