mbgate
Overview
- The MGate Modbus gateways, respectively, that convert between Modbus TCP, ASCII, and RTU communication protocols.
- The gateways provide both serial-to-Ethernet communication and serial(Master)-to-serial(Slave) communication.
- In addition, the gateways support simultaneously connecting serial and Ethernet masters with serial Modbus devices.
- The MGate gateways can be accessed by up to 16 TCP master/clients or connect to up to 32 TCP slave/servers.
- Routing through the serial ports can be controlled by IP address, TCP port number, or ID mapping.
- A featured priority control function allows urgent commands to obtain an immediate response.
| Mode | Description | Status |
|---|---|---|
| RTU Slave | Modbus RTU slave(s) will be connected to the serial port | |
| RTU Master | A Modbus RTU master will be connected to the serial port | Almost done |
| ASCII Slave | Modbus ASCII slave(s) will be connected to the serial port | |
| ASCII Master | A Modbus ASCII master will be connected to the serial port |
Todo list:
- Simple communication
- External configuration file
- Multiprocessing to use many serial ports
