NPort 6100-G2/6200-G2 Series
The secure terminal servers follow the IEC 62443-4-2 design and guidelines to securely connect your legacy serial devices to industrial networks.
- Data encryption with secure operation modes for Real COM, TCP Server, TCP Client, Pair Connection, Terminal, and Reverse Terminal
- Supports SSL certificate signing by RSA-4096 / ECC-521
- Secure Boot only allows Moxa-authorized firmware to run on devices
- Side-mount installation option and two-sided LEDs to meet all installation scenarios and enable system downsizing
- Easy RS-485 configuration of serial interfaces with software-adjustable pull high/low resistor and terminator
NPort IA5000-G2 Series
The device servers are designed for connecting industrial automation serial devices, such as PLCs, sensors, meters, motors, drives, barcode readers, and operator displays. The device servers are solidly built, come in a metal housing and with screw connectors, and provide full surge protection.
- 30 seconds to complete classic Real COM mode settings with DSU-G2
- 2 Ethernet ports with the same IP or dual IP addresses for network redundancy
- Cascading Ethernet ports for easy wiring
- Supports nonstandard baud rates with high precision
- Data encryption with secure operation modes for Real COM, TCP Server, TCP Client, Pair Connection, Terminal, and Reverse Terminal
- One-click diagnostics for easy troubleshooting
- Embedded traffic monitoring for advanced data analysis
- 10/100BaseTX (RJ45) or 100BaseFX (single mode or multi-mode with SC/ST connector), and 100Base SFP
- DNV, CID2, ATEX Zone 2, and IECEx compliance
MGate MB3170-G2/MB3270-G2/MB3470-G2 Series
The new-generation Modbus gateways convert between Modbus TCP, RTU, ASCII, and even proprietary or extended Modbus serial protocols. These MGate gateways transparently convert protocols, actively poll connected devices, and cache data in memory.
- Supports high-performing and low-latency agent mode to actively poll Modbus devices and cache data
- Supports proprietary Modbus and Modbus extensions for various devices
- Supports Auto Device Routing for easy configuration
- Supports route by TCP port or IP address for different system architectures
- Connects up to 32 Modbus TCP clients (MGate can queue 32 Modbus requests for each Modbus client connected)
- Supports Modbus serial client to Modbus serial server communications
- Ethernet cascading or dual subnet for flexible network system design
- 10/100BaseTX (RJ45) or 100BaseFX (single mode or multi-mode with SC/ST connector or SFP option)
- Modbus communication test tools independent of external software
- Intuitive Modbus diagnostics and traffic monitoring for easy troubleshooting
- Serial port with 2 kV isolation protection (for -I models)
- -40 to 75°C wide operating temperature range (-T models)
- Supports redundant dual DC power inputs and 1 relay output
