The Moxa MGate EIP3170/EIP3270 Series provides robust protocol conversion between EtherNet/IP and DF1 for users integrating legacy DF1-based devices into modern Ethernet/IP networks. Ideal for linking Allen-Bradley PLCs with SCADA software, these gateways support PCCC objects and enable seamless connectivity with platforms like RSLinx.

With support for up to eight simultaneous EtherNet/IP client/server sessions and serial redirection for maintaining master/slave architecture, the devices offer flexibility and reliability. Built-in diagnostics and a user-friendly configuration utility make them easy to deploy and troubleshoot.
