Features:
- Connects one Modbus Plus interface with up to four Modbus serial ports while supporting master and slave operation on both protocols.
- Offers individually configurable RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 communication with flexible baud rate, parity, data size, stop bit, node address, and RTS timing settings.
- Combines stand-alone DIN-rail installation with 24 VDC power, communication status indicators, RTU and ASCII support, and industrial environmental ratings.
ProSoft 5302-MBP-MCM4 provides an integration point for industrial installations where Modbus Plus networks and Modbus serial equipment must operate together. Existing plants may contain controllers, field equipment, and serial devices using different communication interfaces, making a dedicated protocol gateway useful for maintaining data exchange across the system. One Modbus Plus connection and up to four serial channels allow multiple communication paths to be coordinated through a stand-alone unit. Master and slave capabilities provide flexibility when assigning communication responsibilities. The DIN-rail format also supports installation within industrial control cabinets without requiring a dedicated PLC rack slot.
Communication flexibility is a key application value of ProSoft 5302-MBP-MCM4. Individual serial ports can be configured for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 operation to accommodate different Modbus devices. Adjustable baud rate, parity, data size, stop bits, node addressing, and RTS timing allow communication settings to be matched to connected equipment. RTU communication uses CRC-16 error checking, while ASCII communication uses LRC error checking. Such configuration options make the gateway suitable for networks containing serial devices with different communication requirements.
ProSoft 5302-MBP-MCM4 can be applied across manufacturing, oil and gas, electrical power, and food processing environments where protocol integration is part of the control architecture. Operation from -20 to 50°C and storage from -40 to 85°C support typical industrial installation and storage conditions. Relative humidity can range from 5% to 95% when condensation is prevented. Dedicated LEDs provide immediate information about power, module operation, application status, serial activity, and communication errors. Combined with the 18 to 36 VDC input range, the gateway provides a practical interface for distributed Modbus Plus and Modbus communication systems.
The 5302-MBP-MCM4 ProSoft Modbus Plus to Modbus Master/Slave Gateway may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Multi-Device Group Control: Suitable for simultaneously polling multiple frequency converters or power meters via four RS-485 serial ports and aggregating the data to a Schneider PLC.
- Smooth Network Bridging: Used for low-cost expansion to introduce new serial port devices without changing the existing Modbus Plus control layer network.
- Heterogeneous System Swapping: Deployed in upgrade projects that require direct connection of Modbus serial touchscreens (HMIs) to traditional Modbus Plus networks.
- Regional Data Collection: Suitable for distributed environments, unifying four serial buses with different geographical locations and baud rates into a single MBP link.
- Independent Installation: Utilizes an independent DIN rail mounting architecture, eliminating reliance on any PLC backplane power supply or physical slots.
- Physical Interface: Equipped with one standard Modbus Plus DB9 female port and four independent universal serial communication ports.
- Hardware Jumpers: Serial ports support free switching between RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 physical electrical signals via internal hardware jumpers.
- Power Supply Specifications: Employs an external 24V DC industrial standard power supply with a dedicated grounding terminal to resist network interference.
- Dedicated Software: Parameters are defined using ProSoft's official ProLinx Configuration Builder (PCB) software.
- Memory Mapping: Features a large-capacity virtual register database for scheduling data streams between the MB+ and the four serial ports.
- Independent Ports: The four serial ports can be independently configured with baud rate and parity, and can be freely combined and defined as master or slave stations.
- Offline Download: After configuration, the configuration file must be downloaded to the gateway via a dedicated serial diagnostic port (Configuration Port).
