One of the main issues in industrial automation applications is that different machines communicate under a variety of Fieldbus protocols. This is due to each manufacturer having their own proprietary protocol. This includes Modbus/TCP/ASCII/RTU, DF1 and Ethernet/IP.
To overcome this issue, Moxa has designed and manufactured a number of Fieldbus gateways such as MGate MB3170 which is an award-winning Modbus gateway. Moreover, Moxa also supports protocols such as PROFIBUS and EtherNet/IP.
