Modbus is a communication protocol that has been widely used in industrial control systems for decades. It was developed by Modicon in 1979 and has since become a standard for communication between various industrial devices such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs), remote terminal units (RTUs), and human-machine interfaces (HMIs). Modbus RTU is a variation of this protocol that uses a serial communication format.
used for controlling and monitoring industrial processes and infrastructure. It is a type of industrial control system (ICS) that is used to collect and analyze data from a range of sensors and devices, and to provide centralized control over these devices.
A Moxa Modbus gateway is a device that acts as an intermediary between Modbus devices and other networks or protocols. Modbus is a communication protocol used in industrial automation and control systems, while Moxa is a manufacturer of industrial networking devices.
The MGate MB3180 is a type of industrial Ethernet gateway produced by Moxa, a leading provider of industrial networking and automation solutions. The MB3180 is designed to provide reliable and secure communication between Ethernet-based devices and serial-based devices in industrial applications.
SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) packages are computer programs that monitor and control industrial processes, such as manufacturing, production, and distribution. These packages are designed to communicate with a wide range of industrial devices and sensors, including Modbus gateways, which are used to connect Modbus devices to other industrial networks.
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) software is a critical technology used in various industries to monitor and control large-scale processes, such as power generation, manufacturing, and water treatment. The software is used to gather data from sensors, meters, and other equipment, and then analyze the data to identify patterns, trends, and anomalies. The system then sends commands to control the equipment, such as opening or closing valves, adjusting temperatures, or turning on or off pumps.
is a software platform designed for building industrial automation and control systems. SCADA stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, which refers to the system’s ability to collect and analyze data from various sources, including sensors, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and other devices. The platform is developed by Inductive Automation, a company based in California, and is known for its flexibility, scalability, and ease of use.
