The Moxa MGate MB3480 is a 4-port Modbus gateway designed to bridge Modbus serial networks with Modbus TCP systems. It’s a practical way to bring multiple Modbus RTU/ASCII devices into Ethernet-based SCADA or control systems without ripping out proven field gear.
Why We Love This Product
- Four ports provide higher density—ideal for cabinets with multiple Modbus serial segments
- Clean bridge between Modbus serial devices and Modbus TCP applications
- Helps modernise networks without replacing Modbus RTU/ASCII field devices
- Strong choice for staged upgrades and brownfield industrial environments
How Our Customers Use It
- Connecting Modbus RTU meters, drives, and sensors into Modbus TCP SCADA systems
- Consolidating multiple serial lines into a single Ethernet backbone
- Upgrading plants and utilities while keeping existing Modbus devices in service
- Creating cleaner architectures for monitoring, reporting, and remote maintenance
Choosing Tips
- Choose MB3480 when you need higher port density (4 ports) for multiple Modbus serial segments
- If you only need 1 or 2 serial ports, the MB3180/MB3280 models can be a better fit
- If you need advanced features or harsher environment rating, choose the corresponding “advanced” gateway variant
