MOXA: Modbus gateway eases integration

-- 1 August 2007

Ads by Google

With the aim of making device networking easier and readily accessible to all users, features developed for the MOXA MGate MB3000 products address the common and challenging difficulties that Modbus integrators face. An example of user-friendly design is the MB3000's configuration utility, which supports multiple languages and allows the gateway to be set up in just five steps. Modbus response timeouts can be automatically configured, eliminating one of the most challenging and time-consuming tasks when integrating Modbus networks.
For maximum compatibility between Modbus TCP and Modbus ASCII/RTU, the MGate MB3000 supports up to 16 simultaneous TCP masters, with up to 32 simultaneous requests from each master. Since multiple slaves can be daisy-chained off a single serial port, the smart routing feature was developed to manage slave IDs between Modbus interfaces.
A user-defined slave ID table on the MGate MB3000 routes requests to the correct serial port and even allows the use of virtual IDs. Instead of requiring a network socket for each port, only one socket is required to access all slaves on all ports, saving system and network resources.
