Overview

MCG 5200

For terminal operators, automation engineers, asset management teams, and compliance officers who need to monetize their wireless investments and ensure secure, real-time data performance, the MCG 5200 WirelessHART Gateway provides a high-capacity, secure bridge. This rugged gateway supports up to 250 WirelessHART field devices, converting their data (level, temperature, alarms) into host-readable protocols (Modbus or HART) over RS-485 and Ethernet. Unlike older wireless gateways, the MCG 5200 offers full visibility into network health and diagnostics via a browser or host system, enabling operators to reduce risk, improve uptime, and protect revenue.

Features

Scalability

Supports up to 250 field devices, allowing large tank farms to deploy extensive WirelessHART networks without the need for multiple gateways.

Multiple Host Interfaces

Multiple Host Interfaces

Offers both RS-485 (Modbus RTU, HART) and Ethernet (Modbus TCP) options, ensuring seamless integration into both legacy and modern control systems (DCS/SCADA).

Strong Security & Diagnostics

Strong Security & Diagnostics

Provides full visibility into device status, network health, and diagnostic data via a web interface, while employing encryption to secure all wireless communication.

Easy Configuration

Easy Configuration

Devices can be configured quickly via DTM/DD, device descriptions, or a user-friendly web interface, simplifying the mapping of registers and network status.

Continuous Visibility

Continuous Visibility

Exposes hidden diagnostic and asset integrity data from the wireless network to the host system, improving maintenance planning and lowering downtime.

Details

Applications

  • Tank Farm Monitoring: Centralizes and reliably forwards data from a high count of wireless level, temperature, and alarm devices, reducing infrastructure cost and integration complexity.
  • Downstream Refineries & Terminals: The dual interfaces (RS-485 + Ethernet) ensure compatibility with diverse SCADA and DCS architectures.
  • Asset Integrity & Alarm Systems: Exposes critical diagnostic information and discrete inputs to the host system, enabling proactive maintenance and improved alarm management.
  • Compliance & Reporting: Accurately transmits critical custody transfer measurements like BS&W (bottom solids and water content) and temperature.

We have tried to answer the most common questions we are asked here.

The MCG 5200 secures communication through several layers: it uses robust encryption for all wireless messages, ensuring data integrity. Additionally, it implements host authentication and only allows authorized hosts to access readable data, hiding sensitive network details from external listeners.

The gateway exposes full mesh-network diagnostics, device diagnostic data, and network quality indicators (like signal strength and path reliability) directly to the host system. This allows maintenance teams to monitor the health of the wireless network and individual field devices remotely, enabling proactive maintenance before a communication failure occurs.

Yes. The MCG 5200 is designed for maximum flexibility, offering both an RS-485 interface (supporting legacy protocols like Modbus RTU) and an Ethernet interface (supporting modern protocols like Modbus TCP). This dual-interface capability ensures it can fit seamlessly into any existing or new control system architecture.
