Moxa’s comprehensive industrial Ethernet gateway solutions, the MGate series, are designed with innovative and automated technology to ensure quick installation and easy management of your industrial fieldbus-to-Ethernet networks. To help users master fieldbus communications, Moxa also delivers industrial fieldbus gateways to transfer control data between different fieldbus protocols. One-Click Detection of Response Timeout In master-slave fieldbus communication networks, precise response timeout settings are an important yet complicated task for network integrators when trying to calibrate accurate timeframes to achieve optimized system performance. In the past, integrators often spent a substantial amount of time in trying to manually configure timeout settings through trial-and-error methods. Moxa’s patented AutoCalibration technology offers a 1-click automated approach to auto-configure response timeout settings. Get Integrated—It’s Quick, Easy, and Reliable Innovative and Easy-to-Use Industrial Gateways Create Seamless Connections and Compatibility Reliable Performance Easy to Maintain Quick Installation Quick Installation, in Just Minutes To assist engineers of complex industrial automation systems with the troublesome configuration process, Moxa’s MGate industrial gateway solution, MGate Manager, provides a user-friendly windows- based utility to make integration easier. It contains AutoCalibration or QuickLink patented technologies to enable a quick installation and configuration of industrial gateways in just minutes.
