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.

    David Crawford parallel parks with innovations in two continents. Surveys of US cities indicate that drivers searching for parking can account for up to 37% of all urban traffic congestion. A 2011 study by IBM of 20 cities around the world found that nearly six out of ten drivers had abandoned their search for a parking space at least once; while motorists generally spent on average 20 minutes looking for a sought-after spot.
