An advanced multiport MGate model (MB3270) can be inserted into the serial system, with the
slaves connected to one serial port and the master to another serial port. The advanced gateway
allows Ethernet masters to communicate with the serial slaves, and it also provides a serial redirector
function that simultaneously allows the serial master to continue controlling the slaves.
Integrate Modbus RTU, ASCII, and TCP at the Same Time
There can be a wide range in number, type, and sophistication of devices on the factory floor. The
most common devices are simple serial-based meters, which report certain information relating to
factory environment or equipment. However, other Modbus serial slaves may be as complex as a
manufacturing machine or a PLC controller.
When integrating these devices, there may be issues if different serial environments are used for
different devices. One system may use a different baudrate than another, or may use Modbus ASCII
instead of Modbus RTU. The MGate MB3000 allows the different Modbus systems to be integrated
into one network, regardless of the protocol or communication parameters.
