The MGate 4101-MB-PBS gateway
provides a communication portal between PROFIBUS PLCs (e.g., Siemens S7-400 and
S7-300 PLCs) and Modbus devices. With the QuickLink feature, I/O mapping can be
accomplished within a matter of minutes. All models are protected with a rugged
metallic casing, are DIN-rail mountable, and offer optional built-in optical
isolation.
QuickLink and Windows Utilities for
Easy Setup and Traffic Monitoring The QuickLink windows utility uses a serial
console port to connect to the MGate 4101-MB-PBS and makes configuration and
operation as easy as possible. QuickLink can finish the configuration in just a
few minutes by passively detecting Modbus requests with the AutoLearning
function, and performs error-free I/O mapping with the AutoMapping feature.
QuickLink drastically reduces Modbus-to-PROFIBUS integration time when compared
to conventional I/O mapping, which can easily require days to complete.
Additionally, embedded monitoring tools can maintain logs of Modbus
communication packets and assist in troubleshooting.
