Overview
The Moxa MGate 5102-PBM-PN is a 1-port PROFIBUS-to-PROFINET gateway that provides seamless protocol conversion between PROFIBUS DP V1 master devices and a PROFINET IO controller. Housed in a rugged DIN-rail metal enclosure, it supports AutoScan for rapid PROFIBUS device detection, microSD-based configuration backup, and redundant dual DC power inputs — making it well suited to oil and gas, power, process automation, and factory automation applications.
Key Features
- Protocol conversion: PROFIBUS DP V1 master ↔ PROFINET IO device
- AutoScan automatically detects all connected PROFIBUS slave devices and I/O modules
- One-click GSDML export for fast PROFINET controller (e.g. Siemens PLC) configuration
- Web-based GUI for real-time I/O data visualisation and monitoring
- Built-in Ethernet cascading (2 x 10/100BaseT(X) RJ45) for simplified wiring
- microSD card slot (up to 32 GB) for configuration backup/duplication and event logs
- Embedded I/O monitoring and diagnostic information for easy troubleshooting
- Status monitoring and fault protection with relay output alarm
- Redundant dual DC power inputs (12–48 VDC) via Euroblock terminal
- 2 kV serial isolation on PROFIBUS port
- HTTPS (TLS 1.3), SNMPv3, AES-256 security
- ATEX, IECEx, Class I Division 2 hazardous location certification
- Wide-temperature model (-T) available: -40 to 75°C
- 5-year warranty
Protocol Details
The PROFIBUS port operates as a DP V1 master with up to 1024 bytes input and 1024 bytes output data size, connected via DB9 female at 9.6 kbps to 12 Mbps. The PROFINET side acts as an IO Device supporting 1 IO Controller connection for read/write, with 1024 bytes input and output. Data mapping between protocols is configured visually through the web-based MGate Manager interface.
Maintenance & Security
Remote maintenance is available via web console and Telnet, both supporting HTTPS and SSH encryption. I/O data status changes and system event logs can be reviewed remotely. NTP client time synchronisation is built in. RADIUS authentication is supported for enterprise network integration.
