1. Introduction

Modbus is an industry adopted communication protocol based on RTU, ASCII, and TCP protocols for various applications; these three protocols are commonly used by hardware equipments in the industry, such as DCS, PLC, HMI, power load measurement, various sensor and measuring instruments. The Modbus Gateway is capable of implementing the Modbus environment between different hardware interfaces, thereby streamlining the process of management and application.

Diverse Hardware Infrastructure

Modbus Gateway supports the four most commonly used hardware communication interfaces, RS232, RS485, RS422, and Ethernet. The simple-to-use configuration software provided with Modbus Gateway can quickly modify the hardware interface to use, and easily switch to the existing hardware communication infrastructure.

Switching between Modbus Protocols

Modbus Gateway supports the standard Modbus protocol and is capable of converting any Modbus protocols between Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU or Modbus ASCII for all supported hardware interfaces.

2.2 Installation Procedures

Step 1: Connect MB5001C to power source using 5V DC Jack(Note that DC Jack is 5V only, and only

use it with a power adaptor), or 9~30V DC Terminal Block power source.

Note：MB5001C provide two power inputs can be connected simultaneously to live DC power sources. Anyone of the power inputs fails, the other live source acts as a backup

to support power needs automatically. The redundant dual DC power inputs give one extra assurance of non-stop operation.

MB5001C : 5V DC Jack or DC 9-30V 3-pin Terminal Block power input MB5001C-Sis: DC 9-30V 3-pin Terminal Block power input

Step 2: Connect MB5001C to Ethernet network. Use a standard straight-through Ethernet cable when

one connect it to a hub/switch, one also can connect it to ones PC„s Ethernet port via a cross-over Ethernet cable for easy set up. However, in this case one need to make sure ones PC is in the same network sub-net as MB5001C.

Step 3: Connect MB5001C‟s serial port to a serial device. Step 4: Placement options. One can mount MB5001C to a wall/panel (Mounting screws included) or

Din-Rail rack (Require optional item model: Din-Rail-Kit DK-25).

3. Software Setup

MB5001C Modbus Gateway is shipped with default settings shown in the following table:

3.1 Configuration by DeviceView

3.1.1 Static IP

Use DeviceView that comes with product CD to configure the network parameters of MB5001C.

Please click “Configuration” button(ref Figure 3.1) then give it a static IP information.( Figure 3.2)

Figure 3.1 Configure by DeviceView

User Manual Version 1.0 MB5001C series 1-port Modbus Gateway

3.1.2 Auto IP (Dynamic IP)

Figure 3.2 Static IP setup dialog window

A DHCP server can automatically assign the IP address and network settings. MB5001C supports the DHCP function. By default, the DHCP function on MB5001C is disabled; one can use DeviceView software to search network information automatically by following steps：

->Execute DeviceView (Figure 3.1)

->Click on the IP address of MB5001C in DeviceView

->Click “Config” button(It will pop-up Dialog Window)

->Check ”Auto IP” (Figure 3.3)

->Click “ Config Now” button(The MB5001C will restart and get IP from DHCP server automatically)
