Introduction
The MGate MB3170 and MB3270 are 1 and 2-port Modbus
gateways, respectively, that convert between Modbus TCP, ASCII, and RTU
communications protocols. The gateways provide both serial-to-Ethernet communication
and serial (master) to serial (slave) communications. In addition, the gateways
support simultaneously connecting serial and Ethernet masters with serial
Modbus devices. The MGate MB3170 and MB3270 Series gateways can be accessed by
up to 32 TCP master/clients or connect to up to 32 TCP slave/servers. Routing
through the serial ports can be controlled by IP address, TCP port number, or
ID mapping. A featured priority control function allows urgent commands to
obtain an immediate response. All models are rugged, DIN-rail mountable, and
offer optional built-in optical isolation for serial signals.
