Choosing Gateways and Routers components

Gateway and router selection comes down to two questions: what protocols are on each side of the conversion, and how much throughput does the application demand. A Modbus-to-EtherNet/IP gateway sized for a single inverter won't handle the I/O density of a 500-point Profibus network.

Specifications to confirm before ordering:

  • Source-side protocol (Modbus RTU/TCP, Profibus, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, CC-Link, etc.)
  • Destination-side protocol
  • Required throughput — number of mapped I/O points and update rate
  • Master or slave role on each side
  • Power supply requirement (24 VDC, 110/230 VAC)
  • DIN-rail or panel-mount form factor
  • Configuration method — DIP switches, web GUI, or vendor software
  • Network security — VPN, firewall, certificate management for routers
  • Cellular routers: required carrier compatibility, SIM card format

Common gateway pairings:

  • Legacy PLC to modern SCADA: Modbus RTU to Modbus TCP gateway
  • Profibus device to EtherNet/IP PLC: Anybus X-gateway
  • Field device to cloud: cellular router with MQTT publishing
  • Serial RTU to Ethernet polling: Moxa NPort serial server
  • Multi-site remote access: VPN-capable router with hardware encryption

Configuration files from one gateway model rarely import directly into a different model — even from the same manufacturer — so plan for re-mapping when replacing a discontinued device.

Can you supply obsolete Anybus, Moxa, or Hilscher gateways?
Yes — end-of-life protocol gateways from these and similar manufacturers are common requests. Many remain in service on installed automation networks where re-engineering the protocol mapping isn't economical. Submit the part number with a quote request.
Do gateways come pre-configured for my protocols?
Hardware ships in factory-default state. Configuration for your specific protocol mapping, addressing, and data tags is done after installation using the manufacturer's software or web GUI. We can provide vendor documentation and links to configuration tools where available.
What about cellular routers — do I need to provide a SIM?
Yes. Cellular routers ship without active service. You'll need a data SIM from a carrier (often a dedicated IoT/M2M plan) and configuration credentials. The router supports standard SIM formats listed in its specifications.
Are gateways new, surplus, or used?
Most stock is new-old-stock — unused, often in original packaging. Some legacy units come from tested system removals. Each product page lists condition; contact us if it isn't shown.
How quickly do these ship?
In-stock items ship same or next business day from St. Louis. Sourced items typically have a 1–2 business day quote turnaround.
