Description

MGate MB3660-8-2AC Modbus gateway with dual LANs, dual AC power inputs

Introduction

The MGate MB3660 (MGate MB3660-8-2AC and MB3660-16) series gateways are redundant Modbus gateways that convert between the Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU/ASCII protocols. They can be accessible up to 256 TCP master/client devices, or connect to 128 TCP slave/server devices. MGate MB3660 series isolation model provides 2 kV isolation protection suitable for power substation applications. The MGate MB3660 gateway are built to easily integrate Modbus TCP and RTU/ASCII networks.

The MGate MB3660 series gateways offer features that make network integration easy, customizable, and compatible with almost any Modbus network. For large-scale Modbus deployments, MGate MB3660 gateways can effectively connect a large number of Modbus nodes to the same network. The MB3660 series can physically manage up to 248 serial slave nodes for 8-port models or 496 serial slave nodes for 16-port models (the Modbus standard only defines Modbus IDs from 1 to 247). Each RS-232/422/485 serial port can be configured individually for Modbus RTU or Modbus ASCII operation and for different baudrates. Allowing both types of networks to be integrated with Modbus TCP through one Modbus gateway.
