The Moxa MGate MB3170 is a 1-port advanced Modbus gateway for integrating Modbus serial devices into Modbus TCP networks. With a 0 to 60°C operating temperature range, it’s built for industrial deployments where you want a tougher, more “plant-ready” gateway rather than a basic bridge.
Why We Love This Product
- Advanced Modbus gateway option for more demanding industrial environments
- 0 to 60°C operating range suits typical OT cabinets and plant rooms
- Right-sized for single-segment Modbus integrations that still need industrial robustness
- A strong choice when reliability and long-term supportability matter
How Our Customers Use It
- Connecting a single Modbus RTU/ASCII device chain into Modbus TCP SCADA
- Modernising serial-heavy sites while keeping existing Modbus field devices
- Reducing onsite visits via remote monitoring and troubleshooting over IP
- Tidying up ad-hoc integrations into a supportable, standard architecture
Choosing Tips
- Choose MB3170 when you want a 1-port gateway with 0 to 60°C rating and a more robust “advanced” option
- If you just need a basic 1-port bridge for a straightforward environment, MB3180 may be sufficient
- If you have multiple serial segments, move up to MB3270 (2-port advanced) or a higher-port model to avoid stacking gateways
