What is ProCOM?
ProCOM is a Moxa proprietary function that creates virtual serial ports on the MGate MB3000
Series to make Fieldbus gateway communications more versatile. This intelligent Fieldbus gateway
mimics the behavior of a native serial port when transmitting data to the desired destination. PCs can
use ProCOM to communicate over the Ethernet with serial devices connected to the MGate MB3000
as if they were connected to the PC’s native COM ports. This advanced feature only works with the
MGate MB3x70 Series.
How to Configure ProCOM for the MGate MB3000
If your system uses remote PCs that only support COM port behavior to control remote Modbus
devices, then ProCOM is the best solution for your system. Before using ProCOM, your PC needs to
create virtual COM ports that connect to a specific ProCOM over an Ethernet network. By using
ProCOM, the MGate MB3000 will treat your PC’s COM port as if it were an additional serial port on
the MGate MB3000.
To enable this function, ProCOM mapping must be completed as follows:
Locate the MGate MB3000 with the search function, and then select the MGate MB3000 device that
you want to set ProCOM for, and then click ProCOM Mapping to enter the mapping dialog box, as
illustrated by the following figures.
