MGate™ 4101-MB-PBS Series
1-port Modbus RTU/ASCII-to-PROFIBUS slave gateways
The MGate 4101-MB-PBS gateway provides a communication portal
between PROFIBUS PLCs (e.g. Siemens S400 and S300 PLCs) and
Modbus devices. With the QuickLink feature, I/O mapping can be
The QuickLink windows utility uses a serial console port to connect
to the MGate 4101-MB-PBS and makes configuration and operation
as easy as possible. QuickLink can finish configuration in just
few minutes by passively detecting Modbus requests with the
AutoLearning function, and performing error-free I/O mapping with
accomplished within a matter of minutes. All models are protected with
a rugged metallic casing, are DIN-rail mountable, and offer optional
built-in optical isolation.
the AutoMapping feature. QuickLink drastically reduces Modbus-
to-PROFIBUS integration time when compared to conventional I/O
mapping, which can easily require days to complete. Additionally,
embedded monitoring tools can maintain logs of Modbus
communication packets and assist in troubleshooting.
The MGate 4101-MB-PBS has dual power inputs for greater reliability.
The power inputs allow simultaneous connections to two live DC
power sources, so that continuous operation is provided even if one
power source fails. The higher level of reliability makes these advanced
Modbus-to-PROFIBUS gateways ideal for demanding industrial
applications.
A relay output is provided for the power input status. The relay output
gives maintenance engineers an additional tool for troubleshooting and
maintenance.
