Quick Summary
Eaton CHG enclosed gateway is a rugged Modbus RTU bridge for harsh industrial control panels. Engineers often struggle with unreliable field connections, dust ingress, and thermal stress that disrupt data flow. IP66 and NEMA 4X protection, along with NEC/CEC compliance, help ensure safe operation in ordinary/non-hazardous locations. By delivering reliable RS-485 serial communications and a durable enclosure, this gateway reduces wiring faults and installation time, while enabling scalable integration with existing Modbus networks. For OEMs and service providers, its broad voltage range and conduit hubs simplify panel design and field upgrades, supporting cost-efficient upgrades to legacy systems and remote monitoring deployments.

FAQs
The gateway features an IP66/NEMA 4X enclosure designed for ordinary/non-hazardous locations, with seven 1/2" Myers hubs for conduit entry. Its dimensions (8.88 in L × 9.63 in H × 5.86 in W) support surface or panel mounting in most control cabinets, while maintaining accessible wiring access for maintenance and upgrades.
Yes. The product provides a Modbus RTU communication interface via RS-485, enabling straightforward integration with existing PLCs and RTU devices without replacing current field devices or control logic.
This model is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and offers IP66/NEMA 4X protection, which is ideal for harsh environments but not certified for hazardous area classifications. For truly hazardous locations, verify specific local codes and explore CHG variants designed for such applications.
You can access the CHG gateway brochures, the CHG industrial gateways catalog page, FAQs, and a Quick Start Guide. These resources cover installation steps, wiring diagrams, and regulatory considerations to speed up deployment.
The rugged enclosure and reliable Modbus RTU/RS-485 communications reduce field troubleshooting and downtime. Low power draw (0.064 A) and a broad voltage range simplify panel design, while documented materials shorten onboarding—contributing to faster project payback and lower ongoing maintenance costs.
