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.

Do not attempt to manipulate the product in any way if unsure of the steps described here, in such cases please contact your dealer immediately.
1. Prepare the necessary cables, DC adapter, power cord, LAN cable, etc.; do not connect the unit yet.
2. Plug in the Power Supply/Adapter (MB5404D-X/MB5404D-Sis-X) or AC power cord (MB5408/5416-X) to a power outlet and turn on the power switch (please make sure the electric outlet has proper grounding so as to not cause damage to the unit, property or yourself); shortly thereafter the unit will beep once and the LCM Display will show a .
3. Within one minute, the buzzer shall beep once, and the LCM Display shall show the model’s name.
4. Connect LAN1 to a network switch or to your LAN network with a UTP cable, and connect a host PC to your LAN network with another cable.
5. Connect a serial device to one of the serial ports, and make sure a correct cable is used (Pin assignments for a RS-232 device and for a RS-485 cable are shown in )
For more information on how to install the device, please refer to the Installation Guide available in your package.

3 Configuration and Setup

3.1 Locating and IP configuring using Device View©

First, please install our configuration utility program Device View© that comes with the Product CD or download it from our websites (www.atop.com.tw or www.atop-tech.com). For more information on how to install Device View© , please refer to the manual that comes in the utility CD. To find the Modbus Gateway device on your network, press “Scan”, a list of devices currently connected to the network will be shown in the window.
The device might not be in the same subnet as your PC, because of this you will have to use our utility to locate it in your virtual environment. To configure each device, click the selected device (default IP: 10.0.50.100), and login with the default username and password. After successful login, click “Configuration >Network…” (Or Ctrl+N), and a pop-up window will appear as follows,
Fig. 3. 1
Note: for illustration purpose only, actual values/settings may vary between devices.
15
User’s Manual V 1.1
Fig. 3. 2
Fig. 3. 3
You may proceed then to change the IP address, to avoid any IP address conflict with other hosts on your LAN network or to connect the device to your existing LAN. The system will prompt you to Authorize whether you can do these changes or not, i.e., it will ask you for the Username and Password, (Fig. 3.4).
16
User’s Manual V 1.1
Fig. 3. 5
Fig. 3. 4
Please consult your system administrator if you do not know your network subnet mask and gateway address. If your LAN network address begins with 192.168.X.X, then please use the LAN2 interface for configuration.

3.2 Configuration using Web Interface

Every MB54XX Modbus Gateway device is equipped with a built-in Web server in the firmware. Therefore, it can be accessed by using a browser for configuration by entering the device’s IP (see Sec. 2.4 for default value).
17
User’s Manual V 1.1

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.
