Moxa has released a new Modbus-to-EtherNet/IP gateway, the MGate 5105-MB-EIP, to help process automation engineers take advantage of EtherNet/IP technology and manage Modbus field devices. In support of the Open DeviceNet Vendors Association’s (ODVA) initiative to accelerate the adoption of industrial Ethernet technologies in process automation, the MGate 5105-MB-EIP series is equipped with user-friendly diagnostic and I/O data monitoring tools to simplify troubleshooting for Modbus devices connected to an EtherNet/IP master device such as a PLC or scada network.
According to product manager, Jun Chuang, troubleshooting unexpected disconnections for devices running on different protocols can be extremely frustrating for automation engineers. To address this problem, the MGate 5105-MB-EIP provides protocol analysis to detect the EtherNet/IP connection, Modbus connection, and mapping status of the gateway, providing engineers with more useful information for troubleshooting.
The MGate 5105-MB-EIP has a rugged design, optional built-in optical isolation, and a wide operating temperature range of-40 to 75°C that ensures reliable performance in industrial applications, such as oil and gas, power and process automation.
