MOXA MGate MB3480: MODBUS TCP - RTU gateway, 4 serial ports

The MB3480 gateway is a standard Modbus gateway that converts between Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU/ASCII protocols. Up to 16 simultaneous Modbus TCP masters are supported, with a maximum of 31 RTU/ASCII slaves per serial port (with repeaters max 250). For RTU/ASCII masters, up to 32 TCP slaves are supported.

**Integration into a standard Modbus network**

The MB3480 gateway is designed for easy integration into Modbus TCP and RTU/ASCII networks.

With this model, serial Modbus slave devices can be seamlessly incorporated into an existing Modbus TCP network, and Modbus TCP slave devices can be made accessible to serial masters.

The MB3480 gateway offers features that make network integration simple, customizable, and compatible with almost all Modbus networks.

**Cost-effective gateway for high volumes**

The MGate MB3480 device can effectively integrate networks with a high density of Modbus nodes.
Each RS-233/422/485 serial port can be individually configured for Modbus RTU or Modbus ASCII or even operate at different baud rates, allowing both types of networks to be integrated with Modbus TCP within a single package.
