1. Introduction
The GW-7472 (EtherNet/IP adapter to Modbus RTU Master Gateway) is helpful for dataexchanging between the Modbus RTU network and the EtherNet/IP network.It reads the
register data from the Modbus RTU slaves and publishes these data to the input register data of
the EtherNet/IP scanner. The output data transmitted by the EtherNet/IP scanner are updated to
the register data of Modbus RTU slaves via the GW-7472. Through the GW-7472, all of the
Modbus slaves can be regard as one EtherNet/IP adapter. The GW-7472 allows maximum 6
connections for the Explicit Messages and 1 connection for the Implicit Messages at the same
time. It means that 7 EtherNet/IP scanners can connect to one GW-7472 at the same time.
The Modbus RTU master functions of the GW-7472 can scan up to 30 Modbus RTU
commands. After configuring the Modbus RTU master behavior of the GW-7472 and the
mapping status between the Modbus RTU registers and EtherNet/IP registers by using the GW7472 Utility tool, the input/output registers of the Modbus RTU slaves are mapping to the
output/input registers of the EtherNet/IP adapter. While booting up, the GW-7472 scans the predefined register addresses in all of the Modbus RTU slaves according to the sequence defined
in the utility tool. The input and output register data of the Modbus devices are updated as soon
as the GW-7472 could.
In order to save the installation space, the GW-7472 is offered in an amazing tiny formfactor that makes it easy to install in anywhere, even directly attached to a serial device or
embedded into a machine. The GW-7472 features a powerful 32-bit MCU to handle efficient
network traffic and it provides the IEEE 802.3af-compliant (classification, Class 1) Power over
Ethernet (PoE) with a standard category 5 Ethernet cable. Through the NS-205PSE, Poe switch,
the GW-7472 can be powered via the Ethernet cable. When there is no PoE switch on site, the
GW-7472 provide another way to be powered from DC adapters. These two power interfaces
are redundant. If one fails, another will take it over to supply the proper power to the GW-7472.
GW-7472 User Manual, Version 1.0, Dec 2010 --- 5
The following figure briefs the concept of the data exchange between the EtherNet/IP
and the Modbus RTU network. In this system, there are three Modbus RTU slaves connected to
the Modbus RTU master provided by the GW-7472. The EtherNet/IP adapter interface of the
GW-7472 is connected to an EtherNet/IP scanner through an Ethernet switch. Register data of
the three Modbus RTU slaves is presented to the EtherNet/IP scanner as the I/O data.
GW-7472 User Manual, Version 1.0, Dec 2010 --- 6
The following figure illustrates how to deploy the register data of the three Modbus
devices in the previous example to the EtherNet/IP scanner. Assume that there are 3, 2, and 4
input registers data in the Modbus slaves No.1, No.2 and No.3 respectively. The data format of
the register in the Modbus slave No.1, and No.3 is WORD, and that in the Modbus slave No.2 is
BYTE. All of these input registers are mapping to the corresponding input registers of the
EtherNet/IP adapter of the GW-7472 sequentially by using the BYTE format.
GW-7472 User Manual, Version 1.0, Dec 2010 --- 7
The output register data of the Modbus RTU slaves are mapping in exactly the same way.
The Modbus slave output registers are mapping as the output registers of the EtherNet/IP
adapter of the GW-7472. Users can set the maximum 500 bytes for input data and 500 bytes for
output data which are mapping to the EtherNet/IP adapter of the GW-7472. All of these
configurations are defined by using the GW-7472 Utility tool. While the GW-7472 gets the
EtherNet/IP commands from the EtherNet/IP scanner, it collects the input register data from
Modbus RTU slaves and updates the output register data to the Modbus RTU slaves as soon as
possible.

1. PoE and Ethernet RJ-45 Jack:
The GW-7472 is equipped with a RJ-45 jack for the 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet port and
features networking capability. When the Ethernet link is detected and Ethernet packet is
received, the Link/Act LED (Orange) indicator will be turned on. When the power is
supplied via PoE (Power-over-Ethernet), the PoE LED (Green) indicator will be turned on.

2. +12~+48 VDC Jack:
The GW-7472 is equipped with a +12~+48 VDC jack for the power supply. When there is
no PoE switch on site, the GW-7472 accepts the power from the DC adapter. Please

4. Operating Mode Selector:
Init Mode: Configuration mode
Run Mode: Firmware running mode
Generally, the switch is always in the Run position while the GW-7472 works. Only when
updating or setting the GW-7472, the switch needs to be set to the Init position. Move the
switch to the Run position and then re-power on the GW-7472 after the update is
completed.

Note!!
For non-isolated RS-422/485 ports, you should connect all signal grounds of RS-422/485
devices together. This reduces common-mode voltage between devices.
