1 Introduction

1.1 Overview

The Modbus Gateway is an interface between Modbus Gateway and computer hosts running Modbus/TCP on Ethernet networks. Fully compliant with Modbus/TCP, the Modbus Gateway offers a convenient solution to connect existing devices or controllers running Modbus serial protocol (Modbus/ASCII or Modbus/RTU) to an Ethernet network. The MB54XX Series are standard Modbus gateways that convert between Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU/ASCII protocols. The MB54XX Series support 16 simultaneous TCP master and 32 simultaneous requests for each TCP master. Each RS-232/422/485 serial port can be individually configured for Modbus RTU or Modbus ASCII operation or even different baudrate, allowing both types of networks to be fully integrated with Modbus TCP within one package.

3.2.2 Configure Automatic IP Assignment with DHCP

A DHCP server can automatically assign addresses to LAN1 or LAN2, the Subnet Mask, and the Gateway. You can simply check “DHCP” box in the Network Setting dialog using our
Device View© utility and then restart it; once restarted it will be automatically configured.

3.3 Web Overview

In this section, only current information on the device’s status and settings will be displayed.
Fig. 3. 7
Model Name as its name implies, shows the device’s model. Device Information displays information on the Kernel version, as well as the AP  Network Information here you may find the Mode in which the device is currently
working on (Dual Subnet, Redundancy Mode), and both LANs respective MAC and IP addresses. Dual Subnet Mode: in which two Ethernet ports have separate IP addresses and
subnets
Redundancy Mode: the system will just use one port for data transfer, if this port is
disconnected, the whole system will change to another port automatically.
23

3.4 Network Configuration

In this section, IP, Subnet Mask and overall connectivity settings can be accessed. When on Redundancy Mode the device will have the two LAN ports connected1 to the Network, but the signal will flow through one of them. In the case one line is out due to any reason there will still be another route so the signal can keep flowing.
Note1: you can still connect only one LAN port to the device, though you can still change the settings in it, there won’t be a Redundancy function.
Fig. 3. 8
24
When the device is set on Dual Subnet Mode, a set of two IP addresses can be used without having Redundancy. This is especially useful when using two different networks.
Fig. 3. 9
25

3.5 Basic Settings

3.5.1 COM Settings

This section is responsible for settings on your physical ports, (may them be COM or serial).
Fig. 3. 10
26

3.5.2 Operation Mode

RTU Slave: when working as a slave node, the device will wait and accept request from
its master; data transfer is done under an RTU format.
RTU Master: when working as a master node, the device will issue commands to the
slave node; data transfer is under an RTU format.
ASCII Slave: when working as a slave node, the device will wait and accept request from
its own master; data transfer is under an ASCII format.
ASCII Master: when working as a master node, the device will issue commands to the
slave node; data transfer is under an ASCII format.

3.5.3 Serial Settings

This section has the following selections:
RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 Software Selectable (Default: RS-232)  Baud-rate: 110 bps ~ 921600 bps  Parity: None, Even, Odd, Mark, or Space  Data Bits: 5, 6, 7, or 8  Stop Bits: 1 or 2  Flow Control: None, Hardware CTS/RTS, Software Xon/Xoff
Apply to all Serial Ports Alternatively, the settings can be chosen to apply to all Serial Ports if needed by checking the last box on the options.
27

3.5.4 VCOM Settings

Generates a virtual Serial (COM) port within the device by the network connection, it is a TCP connection but the encoding is an Atop Technologies’ exclusive private protocol. There is the
choice to set your device as either a Master or a Slave in your network. You will need a VCOM setting, proceed to go to Basic Settings → VCOM Settings and tick
on the VCOM’s “Enable” box to allow configuration on the port selected. The options for Master are similar, the only difference being on the device’s function.
Fig. 3. 11
Choose whether your device conforms as an RTU or ASCII, which is the VCOM Mode.
VCOM Port Using the TCP, the device listens whether there are any clients (VCOM
clients), connecting (Serial-IP) to its ports.
VCOM Mode Its definition is analogous to the one in Sec. 3.5.2.
Note: Windows has its own restrictive Serial-IP software installed for use.
28
User’s Manual V 1.1
Fig. 3. 12
VCOM inactivity’s Time Out can be set as well (which is the period of time allowed
between actions), with a maximum of 600 minutes or 10 hours. If no action has been taken after this period, VCOM connection will be automatically interrupted by the system.
It is important to note that alternatively, these settings can be chosen to be applied to All VCOMs if needed by checking the last box on the options.
Click on Save Configuration to keep all changes made.
Fig. 3. 13
29

3.5.5 TCP Settings

Settings for representing a Modbus TCP connection using the internet are set here. First go to Basic Settings ↔ TCP Settings, then proceed to choose whether to enable TCP ticking on the “Enable” box.
TCP Slave: When on this mode, the device will run on Slave mode and wait to receive
Remote IP Address shows the device’s slave node IP address.  TCP Port shows the device’s slave node TCP port.  VCOM inactivity’s Time Out can be set as well (which is the period of time allowed

between actions), with a maximum of 600 minutes or 10 hours. If no action has been taken after this period, Modbus TCP connection will be automatically terminated by the system.
30
User’s Manual V 1.1
Fig. 3. 15
On Operation Mode choose whether the device is going to be a Slave or a Master. Remote IP Address refers to the IP belonging to the device that is going to be controlled from your MB54XX Series; this option is not available when the device is set as a Master. TCP Port is the port through which the signal is going to be relayed upon. And again, there is a TCP Inactivity Time Out with the same 10 hours maximum value as stated on the last section. Configuration can be saved as well.
31

3.5.6 Slave ID Map

The system uses the Modbus ID to route Modbus’ request commands (from the master node) to the respective slave node; it is paramount to define ID maps for each slave node. For every slave node, there must be a correct Virtual ID (Alias ID) and Real ID defined in the maps.
Fig. 3. 16
32
Slave Interface
When a port is set to slave mode, a Slave interface will be then created for you. Select the Slave Interface, which is the COM/VCOM/TCP port; then select Alias Mode or Offset Mode to modify the range and offset as you needed.
Alias Mode maps a virtual ID to a real ID each at the time.
Alias ID which refers to a Virtual ID for the reading Master node.  Real ID which is the real ID from the slave node.
Offset Mode which refers to a range of defined ID maps.
Slave ID Start Virtual ID’s start number. Slave ID End Virtual ID’s end number. Slave ID Offset Real ID range, which is from (Slave ID Start -Offset) to (Slave ID
End-Offset).
Note: on VCOM, TCP and COM, Master and Slave IDs can be set, while on COM and VCOM work only with Serial ports.
Fig. 3. 17
33

3.6 Advanced Settings

3.6.1 SNMP Settings

SNMP Settings determines whether your device settings can be viewed with standard SNMP software; by default it is disabled.
SysName which is by default the MAC address  SysLocation refers to the device’s physical location. SysContact is the device administrator’s contact information.
If you wish to make the information available for public viewing by a Read Community, simply check the “Enable SNMP” box and fill in “Public_viewers” in Read Community field. If you wish to allow a group of people called “Power_users” to change the information, enter “Power_users” in Write Community. If you allow a trap server to collect device information, please fill in SNMP Trap Server with its corresponding IP address (the trap server designed to collect all alarm information). Configuration will take effect after the device is restarted.
Fig. 3. 18
34

3.6.2 Modbus

In Modbus settings, you could select whether to enable Modbus Exception or not. If the Modbus’ slave produces no response, timeout occurs, it may then be necessary for the gateway to return an Exception, and setting the Response timeout as follows.
Configure timeout for each COM port  Configure timeout for TCP/ VCOM port
Fig. 3. 19
35

3.7 Alert Configuration

3.7.1 SMTP and Email Settings

In Alert Events, you can configure options to let your Modbus Gateway to send out device information to alert users, administrators, or responsible personnel. There are five anomalies defined in it to trigger alert functions.
Cold Start, power supply is interrupted.  Warm Start, the device Restart function is used, (either by pressing a button or by its
interface).
Authentication Fail, incorrect username and password are entered.  IP address change, device’s IP address is changed. Password Changed, authentication password is changed.
