Hardware Introduction
LED Indicators
Power is off or fault condition exists
Steady: Power is on and the MGate is
functioning normally
Blinking: The M Gate has been loc ated by
the MGate Manager’s Location function
Steady: Power is on and the MGate is
booting up
Blinking slowly: Indicates an IP conflict, or
DHCP or BOOTP server is not responding
properly
Flashing quickly : microSD card failed
Steady: I/O data is exchanged with all
devices
Blinking: I/O da ta is exchanged with at
least one device
(Not all configured device s can
communicate with gateway)
I/O data is exchanged with all devices
No communication with Modbus device
Modbus communication progress
When MGate 5105 acts as Master:
1. Slave device returned an error
(exception)
2. Received frame error
checksum error)
3. Timeout (slave device no
response)
When MGate 5105 acts as Slave:
1. Rece ived invalid func tion code
2. Master accessed inv alid register
address or coil addresses
3. Received frame error
(parity error,
checksum error)
Dimensions
Unit: mm (inch)
Reset Button
Restore the MGate to factory default settings by using a pointed
object (such as a straightened paper clip) to hold the reset button
down until the Ready LED stops blinking (approx. 5 seconds).
Pull-high, Pull-low, and Terminator for RS-485
Remove the MGate 5105-MB-EIP’s top cover and you will find DIP
switches to adjust each serial port’s pull-high resistor, pull-low
resistor, and terminator.

Hardware Installation Procedure
1. Connect the power adap ter. Connect the 12-48 VDC power line
or DIN rail power supply to the MGate 5105-MB-EIP de vice’s
terminal block.
2. Use a Modbus serial cable to connect the MGa te to a Modbus
slave device.
3. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the MGate to the EtherNet/IP
controller.
4. The MGate 5105-MB-E IP is designed to be attached to a
DIN rail or mounted on a wall. For DIN rail mounting, push
down the spring and properly attach it to the DIN rail until it
“snaps” into place. For wall mounting, ins tall the wall mount kit
(optional) first, and then screw the device onto the wall. The
following figur e illustrates the two mounting options:
