MOXA MB3170/MB33270 Series Features

The Moxa MGate MB3270 series is housed in rugged IP30-rated plastic enclosures and performs reliably in extreme temperature environments. It features 2 serial ports with DB9 male connectors compatible with RS-232/422/485 standards. This gateway supports connections for up to 31 or 62 Modbus RTU/ASCII slave devices and links with as many as 32 Modbus TCP servers. Its dual 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet ports deliver stable and fast networking, while Auto Device Routing reduces setup complexity. Operating on 12 to 48 VDC, this Moxa gateway also enables deployment flexibility with TCP port and IP address routing configurations. In contrast, the Moxa MGate MB3170 series mirrors many of the same capabilities but includes just one serial port. This MGate 3170 series provides both a DB9 male connector for RS-232 and a terminal block for RS-422/485 to support diverse industrial setups. Like its MB3270 counterpart, it can handle up to 31 or 62 Modbus RTU/ASCII slaves and connect to 32 Modbus TCP servers. It also features dual Ethernet ports and a wide temperature range from -40 to 75°C, along with Auto Device Routing for streamlined management. Whether selecting the Moxa MGate MB3270 gateway series or the Moxa MGate MB3170 gateway series, users can count on high-efficiency, durable Modbus TCP Gateways for seamless industrial communication.
