Introduction
The MGate MB3170-G2, MB3270-G2, and MB3470-G2 are new-generation Modbus gateways that convert between Modbus TCP, RTU, ASCII, and even proprietary or extended Modbus serial protocols. These MGate gateways transparently convert protocols, actively poll connected devices, and cache data in memory. These capabilities make it possible for SCADA systems to retrieve Modbus data directly from the gateway instead of waiting for all Modbus devices to respond, greatly increasing communication performance. Moxa has developed the MGate Series using the IEC 62443-4-1 secure development life-cycle process ensuring secure connections and management of these gateways within industrial networks. In addition, the user experience is enhanced by versatile installation options that accommodate diverse mounting and wiring requirements, a rugged design suitable for harsh environments, and easy-to-use configuration and troubleshooting tools for quick maintenance.
