Mbx.Net Suite/Mbx.Net Premier Suite

NEW! MbpStat.Net, Mbx.Net Gateway and Mbx.Net Server

These new suites can work with any version of the MBX products, as long as they are installed on the supported Windows platforms.

These products introduce the new Cyberlogic Mbx.Net architecture. This architecture provides secure and reliable remote connectivity infrastructure for the Cyberlogic MBX family of products. It is also a platform for the Mbx.Net applications, such as the MbpStat.Net and the Mbx.Net Gateway Driver.

The Mbx.Net Suite and the Mbx.Net Premier Suite include the same software components:

• Mbx.Net Server
• MbpStat.Net Diagnostic Utility
• Mbx.Net Gateway Driver

These two products differ only in the maximum number of simultaneous server connections that the Mbx.Net Server can handle.

Mbx.Net Server

At the heart of the Mbx.Net platform is the Mbx.Net Server. This is a Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) server that supports Http, Net.Tcp and Net.pipe protocols. The Mbx.Net client applications connect securely to the server, which in turn exposes the functionality of all MBX devices configured on the server node. The client applications and the server can be on the local network or connected through the Internet.

MbpStat.Net Diagnostic Utility

The MbpStat.Net provides the same functionality as the original DOS based MBPSTAT application. It can monitor local or remote Modbus Plus by connecting to systems running the Mbx.Net Server. It can run on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, and does not require the Virtual MBX driver.

Mbx.Net Gateway Driver

The Mbx.Net Gateway Driver provides similar functionality to the MBX Gateway Driver. However, the Mbx.Net Gateway Driver uses newer and more secure infrastructure, and allows for more communication protocols.

The Cyberlogic Mbx.Net platform does not replace, but rather complements the Cyberlogic MBX architecture. The Mbx.Net Suite and Mbx.Net Premier Suite can work with any version of the MBX products, as long as they are installed on the supported Windows platforms.

Only the Mbx.Net Server is a licensed component that requires activation. The client components (MbpStat.Net and Mbx.Net Gateway) do not require activation, and can freely be installed on any system.
