Modbus TCP Masters with ASCII and RTU Slaves
Link TCP master devices with both ASCII and RTU serial devices
simultaneously
When integrating Modbus networks, you may encounter different Modbus serial networks that use
different baudrates or a different protocol. Modbus ASCII might be used by some devices, while
Modbus RTU is used by other devices.
The two and four-port MGate models can integrate serial Modbus networks that use different
parameters or protocols. You can configure each serial port to a specific Modbus serial environment,
set up a slave ID map. After configuration, only the gateway will be visible to Modbus TCP masters,
and all serial devices will be integrated behind it.
Serial Master with Serial Slaves over Internet
Let Modbus serial devices communicate over the Internet
Many Modbus devices communicate over RS-485, which limits the number of devices in a network
to 32 and the transmission distance to 1.2 km.
With the MGate MB3000 Modbus gateway, you can link all Modbus devices over an Ethernet
network. Up to 32 Modbus gateways can be installed in a single control network, so each device can
now be accessed from anywhere the TCP/IP network can reach.
