The MGate 5101-PBM-MN gateway provides a communication portal between PROFIBUS devices (e.g. PROFIBUS drives or instruments) and
Modbus TCP hosts. All models are protected with a rugged metallic casing, DIN-rail mountable, and offer optional built-in optical isolation. The
PROFIBUS and Ethernet status LED indicators are provided for easy maintenance. The rugged design is suitable for industrial applications such as
oil/gas, power, process automation, and factory automation.
The MGate Manager utility provides a user-friendly interface to make
configuration and operation as easy as possible. Moxa’s innovative
AutoScan function can automatically detect all connected PROFIBUS
slave devices and their available I/O modules to quickly complete
gateway configuration, after which an easy-to-read data mapping
table is created to assist in the configuration of Modbus TCP master
(e.g., SCADA, PLC) settings. In addition, users can configure import/
export maintenance functions, and use embedded monitoring tools to
maintain logs of Modbus communication packets, which can be used
for troubleshooting.
The MGate 5101-PBM-MN provides a Web console and Telnet console for remote maintenance, with both consoles supporting encryption
commutation functions such as HTTPS and SSH for preventing unauthorized access. The log functions are provided in firmware such as
connection event of Modbus or PROFIBUS for maintenance. Users can monitor each I/O data and review the log through the web console
remotely. A relay output alarm is provided for the power input status. It gives maintenance engineers an additional tool for troubleshooting and
maintenance.
The MGate 5101-PBM-MN has dual power inputs for greater reliability. The power inputs allow simultaneous connection to 2 live DC power
sources to provide uninterrupted operation even if one power source fails. The higher level of reliability makes these advanced PROFIBUS-master-
to-Modbus-TCP gateways ideal for demanding industrial applications.
