Introduction to Industrial Ethernet
Gateways
The need for industrial Ethernet gateway solutions is not only driven by the increasing demand for connecting industrial Ethernet protocols (such as
EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, or PROFINET) to existing fieldbus networks, but by maximizing efficiency as well. Moxa’s comprehensive industrial Ethernet
gateway solutions, the MGate series, are designed with innovative and automated technology to ensure quick installation and easy management of
your industrial fieldbus-to-Ethernet networks. To help you master fieldbus communications, Moxa also delivers industrial fieldbus gateways to transfer
control data between different fieldbus protocols.
1-click Detection of Response Timeout
In master-slave fieldbus communication networks, precise response
timeout settings are an important yet complicated task for network
integrators when trying to calibrate accurate timeframes to achieve
optimized system performance. In the past, integrators often
spent a substantial amount of time in trying to manually configure
timeout settings through trial-and-error methods. Moxa’s patented
AutoCalibration technology offers a 1-click automated approach to
auto-configure response timeout settings.
