MGate MB3170-T

Protocol gateway MGate MB3170-T. Industrial protocol converter MGate MB3170-T is an improved modification of a popular Modbus gateway adapted to extreme temperatures (letter “T”). It allows integrating into a single network the equipment that uses various protocols (Modbus RTU/ASCII, TCP) and interfaces. The device houses a universal RS-232/422/485 COM-port (DB9M, terminal block) and two Ethernet ports with one IP address. The converter supports intelligent features, it is equipped with a dual power input and a relay output. Modbus converter MGate MB3170-T: description and features: Operation modes: Modbus RTU/ASCII Slave/Master, Modbus TCP Client/Server. Conversion in either direction. The gateway supports up to 16 TCP master/clients and up to 32 TCP slave/servers. COM-port rate: from 50 bit/s up to 921.6 Kbit/s. The device supports auto detection of the interface type, automatic data direction control (ADDC), Ethernet cascading. There is a built-in Modbus traffic analyzer, routing (Serial Port Routing) by IP address, TCP-port number or ID, urgent commands priority control function (Priority Control). Input voltage: 12…48 V DC. The dual power input allows connecting the gateway to two independent power sources. The relay output promptly informs engineers about any problems. The innovative technologies contribute to increase of operating temperatures: -40…+75 °С. This allows MGate MB3170-T to be operated in harsh weather and industrial conditions. An ultra slim plastic housing (29х89х119) is certified for protection against solid particles ingress, drops, shocks and vibrations: IEC-60068-2-6/27/32. The device can be mounted on a DIN-rail. Mean time between failures (MTBF) — around 25 years. Hence, the industrial protocol gateway MGate MB3170-T from MOXA is an excellent solution when constructing complex networks in harsh environments. The cascading eliminates the need for a separate switch, the patented Priority Control technology eliminated delays that are typical for large Modbus networks. Moreover, the device is protected from voltage spikes, impulse interference and is certified for application at marine and oil and gas recovery facilities.
