Overview
The MGate MB3170 and MB3270 are 1 and 2-port advanced Modbus
gateways that convert between Modbus TCP and Modbus ASCII/RTU
protocols. They can be used to allow Ethernet masters to control serial
slaves, or to allow serial masters to control Ethernet slaves. Up to 32 TCP
masters and 31 serial slaves can be connected simultaneously.

Note: When connecting a single-mode fiber transceiver, we recommend
using an attenuator to prevent damage caused by excessive optical
power.
Note: Compute the “typical distance” of a specific fiber transceiver as
follows: Link budget (dB) > dispersion penalty (dB) + total link loss (dB).
