MB5908/MB5916 Series

8-Port Industrial Secure Modbus TCP/RTU/ASCII Gateway with RJ45 connecters, Rack-mount, optional Serial Port Isolation

Overview

MB5908/ MB5916 Series Switching between Modbus Protocols Modbus Gateway supports the standard Modbus protocol and is capable of converting any Modbus protocols between Modbus TCP , Modbus RTU, and Modbus ASCII for all supported hardware interfaces. All of this, in bi-directional mode: Ethernet and Serial ends can selected to be either master or slave Modbus ID Routing Modbus Gateway supports various types of hardware communication interfaces, Modbus protocol conversion, and Modbus ID routing. Therefore the Modbus Gateway can integrate your existing and complex Modbus hardware configuration into a simple network that can be easily managed. Diverse Hardware Infrastructure Modbus Gateway supports the four most commonly used communication standards, RS-232/485/422, and Ethernet. The ease-of- use configuration utility provided with Modbus Gateway can quickly select the hardware interface, and easily switch to the existing communication infrastructure. You could set it up via Web Browser, Serial Console, Telnet Console, Windows Utility or through the LCM display in front of the device. Industrial EMC protection makes MB5908/16 ready for every mission. Security and Redundancy MB5908/MB5916 embeds OpenVPN and IPsec VPN, that allows you to tunnel your data securely throught the internet and prevent unauthorized control of your Serial Devices by malicious people. The integrated Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), allows you to add a backup Ethernet link in the event the primary one fails.
