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.

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,

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).

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).

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.

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
Atop Modbus Gateway

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.

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.

3.5.4 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.

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.

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.

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.
