Description

The Moxa MGate MB3170 / MB3270 Series Ethernet Gateway host one or two serial ports, respectively, that convert between Modbus TCP, ASCII, and RTU communications protocols. These gateways provide serial-to-Ethernet communication as well as master/slave serial-to-serial communications. This series also 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. Serial port routing can be controlled by IP address, TCP port number, or ID mapping. Routing via TCP port and IP address allows access for up to 4 TCP clients/masters (MB3270 models), whereas ID mapping provides access to as many as 32 TCP clients/masters (MB3170/MB3270). An integrated priority control function allows urgent commands to obtain an immediate response. 

Moxa’s Auto-Device Routing function helps to streamline the normally extensive process of configuring numerous Modbus devices. It's takes a single mouse click to setup a slave ID with routing table, and configure Modbus gateways to automatically detect Modbus requests from a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system.

The MB3170 and MB3270 Series provide streamlined functionality that is paired with a durable DIN-rail mount design. The plastic housing is IP30 rated, has a 0 to 60°C standard operating temperature range (-40 to 75°C for -T models), DNV, ATEX and IECEx hazardous area certifications.
