Industrial Ethernet Gateways

Each MGate™ EIP3000 gateway supports virtual serial ports for the 
remote PC. You can connect to the MGate™ EIP3000 through the 
COM port by using Moxa’s Real COM driver, with the actual physical 

When using termination resistors to prevent serial signal reflection, 
it is important to set the pull high/low resistors correctly so that the 
electrical signal is not corrupted. Since no set of resistor values is 

Complex device networks that incorporate high amperage devices 
could be subject to electrical signal distortion from electrical 

connection over the Ethernet. The gateway supports up to 4 virtual 
COM port connections and offers greater flexibility when designing 
redundant control systems.

discharges, magnetic noise, or common mode transients. MGate™ 
series products solve this problem by using built-in optical isolation.

universally compatible with all environments, the EIP3000 has DIP 
switches on the bottom panel for setting the termination and pull high/
low resistor values.

The serial redirector function allows the commands of a serial master 
(command initiator) to be redirected to the serial slave (command 
executor) on another port. In addition, a serial master can operate 
simultaneously with EtherNet/IP masters without changing the DF1 

architecture or software. With the serial redirector function, MGate™ 
EIP3000 gateways can establish redundant control of legacy slave 
devices that were originally designed to be controlled by a single serial 
master.
