97 Moxa had introduced the MGate MB3000 series of Modbus gateways which feature auto-calibration of response timeout, smart routing, support for multiple TCP masters, and a utility that supports multiple languages. Models will feature a priority control function that allows special or critical requests to bypass the strict, first-come, first-served communication structure of Modbus. Users may assign first priority to specific requests, port numbers, or IP addresses, giving integrators valuable flexibility in handling a system's requirements. The advanced models will also feature a serial redirector function, which enables data transmission between device ports. This allows the original serial master to continue controlling slaves on another device port while monitoring is performed from the TCP network. Modbus RTU/ASCII systems can now add Modbus TCP monitoring and control without disrupting the original system architecture.

The basic models in the MGate MB3000 series have an MB3x80 designation while advanced models have an MB3x70 designation.

    Jack Opiola casts an eye over the numerous road user charging pilots underway in the US. In the USA, congestion mitigation and improving mobility have often focused on network improvements, increased road capacity, improved public transport, high-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes or ‘express lanes’ and ITS measures – all of which require political capital and major funding. Nowadays, political capital is as hard to obtain as funding because more political leaders are recognising the decline of fuel excise tax
