MGate MB3270

Interface converter MGate MB3270 by MOXA refers to a new Modbus gateway series that is characterized by the industrial grade design and additional intelligent functions. The device houses two independent COM-ports that support any RS-232/422/485 serial standard, and two Ethernet ports with one IP address. Thanks to such configuration, the converter allows integrating in a single network the equipment that uses different industrial protocols: Modbus RTU, Modbus ASCII, Modbus TCP. Protocol converter MGate MB3270: description and features: Gateway supports connection of up to 16 TCP masters and 62 serial slaves. Conversion can be done in either direction: Modbus RTU/ASCII Slave/Master, Modbus TCP. Each COM-port is separately configured. Redirection function provides parallel direct access (Serial/TCP Master) to slave devices. Reconfiguration is not required. Ethernet port cascading facilitates connection and allows integrating several Modbus gateways via a standard network cable, so that no separate switch is required. Urgent command priority control function allows receiving immediate response and eliminating delays caused by the large scale and complicated structure of a Modbus network. Input voltage: 12…48 V DC. Dual power input uses two independent power sources that secure uninterruptible device operation. There is a built-in relay output for alarm notifications. The plastic housing of small dimensions (29х89х119) protects the device from drops, shocks and vibrations: IEC-60068-2-6/27/32. Mean time between failures (MTBF) — 15 years. The unquestionable advantages of the industrial gateway MGate MB3270 by MOXA are as follows: greater amount of ports, new software options, enhanced reliability, affordable price. The converter is protected from static discharges, voltage spikes and impulse interference. The international field-specific certificates confirm the device safe operation in marine industry (DNV), in oil and gas recovery (C1D2, ATEX Zone 2).
