Z-KEY IEC 61850: ModBUS IEC 61850 Gateway, 2 serial ports, 1 Ethernet (single Client)

**Z-KEY IEC 61850** is a **Modbus<->IEC 61850** gateway that enables integration between the Modbus protocol, used in industrial contexts for communication between devices such as PLCs, sensors, and actuators, and the **IEC 61850** standard, designed for communication in electrical substations and energy automation systems. Equipped with **two serial ports** and **one Ethernet port**, the Z-KEY IEC 61850 acts as a translator between the two protocols, allowing Modbus-based devices to communicate with IEC 61850 compliant systems. This is particularly useful in energy automation applications, where ensuring **secure, reliable communication** and interoperability between control and protection devices in substations is critical. The gateway allows existing Modbus infrastructures to be integrated with modern IEC 61850 systems, supporting real-time data collection, processing, and distribution for **advanced monitoring and control** of electrical grids, thereby improving the efficiency and safety of energy processes.

**Note: KEY series devices support up to a single IEC 61850 client.**
