6. Selection Recommendations
- Protocol Requirements: Choose the SST-1500-YCX-3-1-0 for mixed serial/Ethernet environments; opt for single-protocol gateways for simpler setups.
- Environment: Pair with IP65 enclosures for outdoor use (e.g., wastewater treatment).
- Scalability: Select this model for systems needing >100 devices; smaller networks may use SST’s compact series.
7. Precautions
- Grounding: Ensure proper grounding to prevent EMI interference on serial ports.
- Firmware Maintenance: Schedule quarterly updates via SST Configurator to patch security vulnerabilities.
- Power Surges: Use a surge protector (24V DC) in unstable power environments.
