Introduction
MGate 5216 Series EtherCAT industrial Ethernet gateways convert data between Modbus RTU/ASCII, proprietary serial and EtherCAT protocols. All models are protected by a rugged metal housing, are DIN-rail mountable, and offer built-in serial isolation. Modbus is one of the most widely used industrial communication protocols, and EtherCAT is commonly used in factory automation and semiconductor fields. MGate 5216 supports both Modbus RTU/ASCII client and MicroPython enabling programming in proprietary serial protocol, so that you can easily connect your Modbus devices or serial devices to EtherCAT host. The MGate 5216 EtherCAT gateways are designed for easy configuration and quick maintenance. An intuitive web console can be used to implement remote maintenance tasks. A comprehensive collection of troubleshooting tools reduces configuration time and system downtime and the rugged design is suitable for industrial applications.
