UNIGATE® MB Protocol Converter for devices with serial Modbus RTU interface

  • Easy installation
  • Norm compliant
  • Certified
  • Configurable
  • Ready-to-use
  • Designed and manufactured in Germany

For all devices with a serial Modbus RTU interface

The Deutschmann Protocol Converter UNIGATE MB connects your device to the desired fieldbus or Industrial Ethernet standard via a serial interface. RS232, RS485 and RS422 interfaces are on board as a standard feature of the UNIGATE.

The communication between the chosen bus system and the serial side can be carried out via Modbus RTU, Modbus ASCII as well as other common bus systems such as 3964(R).

A special feature of the UNIGATE MB series is Brand labeling. With the customized design Deutschmann Automation not only gives you the opportunity to pre-configure the device and choose different housing colors, you can also apply your own logo.

Typical serial applications that can be used with the UNIGATE include, among others, variable frequency drives, sensors, actuators, human machine interfaces, barcode readers, RFID readers and industrial scales.
