Review for MB-GATEWAY

NO SOFTWARE AVAILABLE. If you go to Host Engineering's website and download their Net Edit software it just downloads a bunch of images, no software to program or operate this gateway which makes it a worthless brick of plastic and complete waste of time. Sure, I can return it and get my money back but what about the time I lost searching through Automation Direct and Host Engineering's site trying to find some sort of actual functioning software to operate this thing? If you take a look you'll see that Automation Direct does not provide the software or any link to find the software to download, they only provide the ability to download the manual. Every other product they sell that requires an operating software you can find it on their site except for this thing and the manufacturer doesn't provide it either.

AutomationDirect note:
Here is a direct link to the MB-Gateway user manual (https://cdn.automationdirect.com/static/manuals/mbgatewaym/mbgatewaym.html). Use the web browser to configure the device. On page 3-4 NetEdit configuration software is mentioned, here is a direct link to download - https://hosteng.com/SW-Products/SP_Demo_Utilites.htm#NetEdit3. Extract the zip file, run the .exe and install the software. NetEdit 3 will be found in your Windows programs under AutomationDirect Tools. Once you?ve used NetEdit 3 to configure the IP address of your MB-Gateway, use a web browser to configure the device.

Review for SGW-MB1511-T

The STRIDE Modbus gateway was easy to set up. I used it in direct mode to connect node red to the device that only had a serial modbus RTU available. Once established connection, it stayed up and robust from there on. No connection losses. Product seems well build and has options beyond what's usually needed.
