MGate 5216 Series EtherCAT industrial Ethernet gateways convert data between Modbus RTU/ASCII, proprietary serial and EtherCAT protocols.
All models are protected by a rugged metal housing, are DIN-rail mountable, and offer built-in serial isolation.
Modbus is one of the most widely used industrial communication protocols, and EtherCAT is commonly used in factory automation and
semiconductor fields. MGate 5216 supports both Modbus RTU/ASCII client and MicroPython enabling programming in proprietary serial protocol,
so that you can easily connect your Modbus devices or serial devices to EtherCAT host.
The MGate 5216 EtherCAT gateways are designed for easy configuration and quick maintenance. An intuitive web console can be used to
implement remote maintenance tasks. A comprehensive collection of troubleshooting tools reduces configuration time and system downtime and
the rugged design is suitable for industrial applications.
The MGate 5216 EtherCAT gateways have a user-friendly interface that lets you quickly set up protocol conversion routines for most applications,
doing away with what were often time-consuming tasks in which users had to implement detailed parameter configurations one by one. The MGate
5216 supports web console for remote maintenance. Encryption communication functions, including HTTPS, are supported to provide better
network security. In addition, system monitoring functions are provided to record network connections and system log events.
The MGate 5216 supports Protocol Diagnose and Traffic Monitor for easy troubleshooting, especially during the installation stage. Serial
communication issues caused by incorrect software parameters, such as slave IDs and register addresses, or incorrect command configurations,
can be fished out with Protocol Diagnose and Traffic Monitoring, which let you capture and check data to easily identify root causes.
