 Overview   DataSheet 
The MB3170 and MB3270 are advanced Modbus gateways that provide maximum flexibility for integrating industrial Modbus networks of all types and sizes. They are designed to integrate Modbus TCP, ASCII, and RTU devices in almost any master and slave combination, including serial master to serial slave, or simultaneous serial and Ethernet masters. A special priority control feature allows urgent commands to obtain immediate response. All models are ruggedly constructed, allow DIN-rail mounting, and offer built-in serial optical isolation as an option.

Integration of TCP masters without alteration to Modbus RTU/ASCII network or software
The MB3270 can integrate Modbus TCP with Modbus RTU/ASCII, without modifying the existing Modbus RTU/ASCII architecture or software. With the serial redirector function, a serial master can maintain direct access to serial slave devices through a specially mapped serial port. This allows the serial and TCP masters to have simultaneous access to serial slaves.

Cascading Ethernet ports for easy wiring
Advanced models of the MGate MB3000 provide two Ethernet ports for easier network wiring. Dual Ethernet ports allow users to string multiple Modbus gateways together using standard RJ45 Ethernet cables, eliminating the need for a separate Ethernet switch.

Redundant power inputs
MB3000 advanced models include 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 gateways ideal for the demanding requirements of industrial applications.

Warning by relay output
Relay output is provided for Ethernet link and power input status. With relay output, maintenance engineers have an additional tool for better troubleshooting and maintenance.

Priority control for urgent commands (patent pending)
As Modbus networks increase in size and complexity, the lag time between commands and responses becomes a growing concern. MB3000 advanced models provide a priority control function for urgent commands, allowing users to force certain commands to obtain an immediate response. Different methods are available to define which commands receive priority, depending on your system's requirements.

Manufacturer Warranty Policy

MOXA

Moxa products are warranted to be free from manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship starting from the date of delivery. The actual warranty period of the product(s) depends on the product category.

Warranty Periods

* The 3-year warranty period for Embedded x86 Box Computers is effective for products shipped after Jan. 1, 2010. A 5-year warranty still applies to products shipped before 2010.

* For products containing storage devices (hard drives, flash drives, etc.), back up your data before sending the products for repair. Moxa is not responsible for any loss of data. Please ensure the use of properly licensed software with our systems. Moxa does not condone the use of pirated software and will not service systems using such software. Moxa will not be held legally responsible for products shipped with unlicensed software installed by the user.

* If the customer opens the computer to install an HDD without making any modifications to the unit, the warranty will remain valid.

Product warranties remain valid provided the product was properly installed and used. Defects, malfunctions, or failures of the warranted product caused by damage resulting from acts of God (such as floods, fire, etc.), environmental and atmospheric disturbances, other external forces such as power line disturbances, host computer malfunction, plugging the board in under power, or incorrect cabling, and damage caused by misuse, abuse, and unauthorized alteration or repair, are not warranted. A product will not be warranted in the following situations:

This warranty is limited to the repair and/or replacement, at Moxa's sole discretion, of the defective product during its warranty period. Moxa will replace any product found to be defective within the first three months of purchase provided said product was properly installed and used. The customer must obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number prior to returning the defective product to Moxa for service.

The customer agrees to insure the product or assume the risk of loss or damage during transit, to prepay shipping charges, and to use the original shipping container or equivalent. Customers may either seek assistance from the original dealer, or from the closest Moxa Service Office. Repaired or replaced products are warranted for ninety (90) days from the date of repair or replacement, or for the remainder of the original product's warranty period, whichever is longer. For large order projects, customers may purchase an extended maintenance contract. Such products may have a shorter chipset life cycle, or some parts may have a limited warranty from the original supplier of the parts. Please contact Moxa's sales department if you would like to extend the maintenance period of a Moxa product.

Limitation of Liability

The provisions of the warranty are in lieu of any other warranty, whether expressed or implied, written or oral. Moxa's liability arising out of the manufacture, sale, or supplying of the product and its use, whether based on warranty, contract, negligence, product liability, or otherwise, shall not exceed the original cost of the product. In no event shall Moxa be liable for unintended or consequential damages, including, but not limited to, a loss of profits or use damages arising out of the manufacture, sale, or supplying of the product.
