Optimizing production and efficiency by enabling devices to communicate between protocols, MGate MB3660 series lets administrators establish communications with new/existing RTU and ASCII serial devices across Ethernet network. Single gateway physically manages up to 248 serial slave nodes for 8-port models or 496 serial slave nodes for 16-port models. Each RS-232/422/485 serial port can be configured individually for Modbus RTU or Modbus ASCII operation as well as different baud rates.
