Product information for Moxa MGate EIP3270:
The Moxa MGate EIP3270 is an industrial gateway for connecting serial DF1 devices with EtherNet/IP control networks. It serves as a bridge between older, serial-communicating devices and modern, Ethernet-based automation systems, particularly in environments based on Rockwell technology. The device enables the integration of legacy systems into modern networks without requiring extensive hardware modifications.
Applications
The MGate EIP3270 is designed for use in industrial environments where robust and reliable communication between different control systems is required. It is used in production facilities, manufacturing lines, and other automation environments where DF1-based devices (e.g., older PLCs or measuring instruments) need to be connected to EtherNet/IP systems. The support for PCCC objects and the ability to manage up to 16 EtherNet/IP client/server pairs simultaneously make it particularly suitable for complex, networked control systems.
Functions and Features in Detail
The gateway features two serial ports supporting RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485, enabling flexible connection to various serial devices. DF1 protocol support in transparent mode allows communication with up to eight DF1 clients, enabling the integration of multiple legacy devices into an EtherNet/IP network. Additionally, the device offers a virtual COM port function (ProCOM), which allows serial devices to be addressed over the network as if they were directly connected to a COM port. The serial redirector function enables forwarding of serial data over the network, facilitating remote maintenance and diagnostics.
Technology Explained Simply
The MGate EIP3270 operates as a protocol converter, translating serial DF1 data into EtherNet/IP packets and vice versa. This occurs without requiring the connected devices to change their communication logic. The integrated diagnostic function and protocol monitor enable real-time monitoring of data transmission, which is helpful for troubleshooting and system monitoring. The dual DC power inputs increase reliability, as the device can continue operating even if one power supply fails. The operating temperature range of -40 to 75 °C makes the device suitable for use in environments with extreme conditions, such as outdoor installations or climatically demanding production halls.
Compatibility and Accessories
The gateway is specifically developed for Rockwell environments, with support for PCCC objects enabling direct communication with Rockwell PLCs. It is compatible with EtherNet/IP networks and can be integrated into existing industrial networks. The IP30 protection rating of the housing protects against mechanical impacts and offers some protection against dust, but not against water or splashing water. The device is part of the MGate EIP3200 series, with models available featuring extended temperature ranges, indicating a product family designed for different environmental requirements.
Mounting and Installation
Installation typically takes place in an enclosure or industrial control environment. The serial ports are connected to the DF1 devices, while the Ethernet interface is integrated into the EtherNet/IP network. Configuration is performed via a web interface or dedicated configuration software, with integrated diagnostic functions supporting setup. The dual DC power inputs require connection to two independent power supplies, increasing redundancy.
Operational Advantages
Through the combination of robust design, wide temperature range, and the ability to connect multiple serial devices simultaneously to an EtherNet/IP network, the MGate EIP3270 provides a reliable and flexible solution for integrating legacy systems. The integrated diagnostic and monitoring functions reduce maintenance time and simplify troubleshooting. Support for virtual COM ports and serial redirector function expands application possibilities, especially for remote maintenance and system integration.
