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.

Traffic jams in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, are estimated to cost the country $360 million a year in terms of lost man-hours, fuel and pollution. According to Wilfred Oginga, an engineer with the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), the congestion has been exacerbated by poor regulation and enforcement of traffic rules, absence of adequate traffic management systems and poor utilisation of existing road facilities.

Colin Sowman finds out more… It is increasingly clear that local authorities’ reluctance to implement Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is based on politics and finance. However, the technology underpinning MaaS is evolving rapidly and is presenting new solutions. At its heart, the political resistance comes down to the divide between the ethos of public
