Description

The MGate 5216 is a 2-port serial and Modbus to EtherCAT protocol gateway for industrial automation networks. This standard-temperature model operates from 0 to 60°C and converts Modbus RTU/ASCII and proprietary serial protocols to EtherCAT, with two RS-232/422/485 serial ports and two 10/100 Ethernet ports.

A rugged IP30 metal DIN-rail housing, 2 kV serial port isolation and redundant dual DC power inputs (12 to 48 VDC) suit it to control cabinets and factory floor deployments. MicroPython support allows custom handling of proprietary serial protocols, while the web console, Protocol Diagnose and Traffic Monitor tools simplify commissioning and troubleshooting.

Features

- Protocol conversion from proprietary serial or Modbus to EtherCAT
- MicroPython programming for proprietary serial protocols
- Built-in Ethernet cascading for easy wiring
- Web console for remote maintenance, with HTTPS encryption
- Protocol Diagnose and Traffic Monitor troubleshooting tools
- Security features based on IEC 62443-4-2
- Redundant dual DC power inputs and 1 relay output

FAQs

Q: What does the MGate 5216 convert between?
A: It converts Modbus RTU/ASCII and proprietary serial protocols to EtherCAT, acting as an EtherCAT slave on the network and as a Modbus RTU/ASCII client (master) on the serial side.

Q: What serial interfaces does the MGate 5216 support?
A: It has two DB9 male serial ports supporting RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485, with baud rates from 50 bps to 921.6 kbps and 2 kV isolation protection.

Q: Can it handle proprietary serial protocols?
A: Yes. MicroPython programming lets you implement proprietary serial protocols for conversion to EtherCAT.

Q: What is the operating temperature range of this model?
A: This is the standard-temperature model, rated for 0 to 60°C.

Q: How is the MGate 5216 powered and mounted?
A: It has redundant dual DC power inputs (12 to 48 VDC) and an IP30 metal housing designed for DIN-rail mounting.

Q: How much process data can it exchange?
A: It supports up to 512 bytes of input data and 512 bytes of output data, with up to 128 Modbus commands per serial port.
