Introduction

The MGate 5217I Series comprise 2-port BACnet gateways
that can convert Modbus RTU/ACSII/TCP to BACnet/IP protocol. Depending
on the size and the scale of the network, the gateways provide 600-point
and 1200-point models. All models are rugged, DIN-rail mountable,
operate in wide temperatures, and offer built-in 2kV isolation for
serial signals.

Easy Configuration Via Web Console and Excel Spreadsheet

The MGate 5217I Series comes with an intuitive UI design
to make configuration easy. With that, you can easily access protocol
conversion modes and finish the configuration in a few steps instead
of installing an additional engineering utility in your computer.
Besides, the MGate can generate Modbus commands by importing an Excel
spreadsheet, which makes it easy to edit Modbus commands.

Modbus and BACnet/IP Protocol Traffic Monitor and Diagnostics

The MGate 5217I gateways support Modbus and BACnet/IP Protocol
Traffic Monitor and Diagnostics for easy troubleshooting, especially
during the installation stage. Communication issues could be caused
by incorrect software parameters, such as the wrong slave ID and register
address, or an incorrect command configuration. With Diagnostics,
you can check the communication status and view values at a glance.
With Modbus/BACnet Protocol Traffic Monitor, you can check the captured
data and easily identify the root cause.

Security
Features Based on IEC 62443

Using network devices that are IEC 62443-4-2 compliant
and equipped with basic security capabilities is an effective precautionary
measure to ward off cyberattacks. The MGate 5217I Series is capable
of several basic security capabilities, including password cracking
defense, sniffer and data breach prevention, whitelisting, and the
account management.
