MGate MB3660 Series

Quick Installation Guide

First Edition, August 2015
Overview
The MGate MB3660 (MB3660-8 and MB3660-16) series gateways
are 8 and 16-port redundant Modbus gateways that convert
between the Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU/ASCII protocols. The
gateways come with built-in dual AC or DC power inputs for power
redundancy, and have dual Ethernet ports (with different IPs) for
network redundancy. The dual Ethernet ports can use the same IP
address for cable redundancy.
The MGate MB3660 series gateways provide not only
serial-to-Ethernet communication, but also
serial(Master)-to-serial(Slave) communication, and can be
accessed by up to 256 TCP master/client devices, or connected to
128 TCP slave/server devices.
Each serial port can be configured individually for Modbus RTU or
Modbus ASCII operation and for different baudrates, allowing both
types of networks to be integrated with Modbus TCP through one
Modbus gateway.
