Moxa Mgate MB3170

Buy Moxa Mgate MB3170 1 Port advanced Modbus gateway, 0 to 60°C operating temperature

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. Serial-port routing by TCP port and IP address allows access for up to 4 TCP clients/masters (MB3270 models), while routing by ID mapping allows access for up to 32 TCP clients/masters (MB3170/MB3270). A featured priority control function allows urgent commands to obtain an immediate response.

Optical Fiber for Ethernet Communication

The MGate MB3170 Series includes 100BaseFX fiber models that support transmission distances up to 4 km for multi-mode models, and up to 40 km for single-mode models. Optical fiber is well-suited for industrial applications because it is immune to electromagnetic noise and interference. For environments that experience high ground loop voltages, fiber provides the best isolation protection, and because there is no danger of sparking, optical fiber is safer than copper wire to use in hazardous environments.
