Chapter 1 Introduction

Welcome to the MGate EIP3000 line of DF1 to EtherNet/IP gateways. All models feature easy
protocol conversion from DF1 to EtherNet/IP, and RS-232/422 ports for DF1 communication.
One-port and two-port models are available.

This chapter is an introduction to the MGate EIP3000 and includes the following sections:

MGate EIP3000 Series User’s Manual Introduction

Overview

The MGate EIP3000 is a line of protocol gateways that provides users with

y protocol conversion between DF1 and EtherNet/IP
y virtual serial port for multiple DF1 and EtherNet/IP device communications
y Windows utilities for easy setup and traffic monitoring.

Protocol conversion between DF1 and EtherNet/IP

MGate™ EIP3000 series products can be used to connect DF1 devices and EtherNet/IP devices to
provide Allen Bradley PLCs with remote maintenance capability. By supporting PCCC objects on
CIP, the MGate™ EIP3000 can communicate seamlessly with Rockwell Ethernet devices. The
EIP3000 protocol gateways come with either 1 or 2 serial ports to allow users to select a suitable
gateway depending on the size of the network.

ProCOM function for multiple DF1 and EtherNet/IP device communications

Each MGate™ EIP3000 gateway supports a virtual serial port. A remote PC uses a Moxa-provided
ProCOM function to connect to the EIP3000’s virtual serial port. RSLinx and SCADA systems can
use the virtual COM port to communicate with an EIP3000 gateway. The virtual serial port function
gives RSLinx or some SCADA systems the capability to connect to multiple DF1 and EtherNet/IP
devices through a protocol gateway.

Windows utilities for easy setup and traffic monitoring

A W indows utility is provided to make configuration and operation of the MGate EIP3000 as easy as
possible. The utility automatically connects to all available MGate EIP3000 units on the LAN for
you. Traf fi c m onit ori ng f unct ions hel p y ou t ro uble shoot th e com m unicat ion problems between DF1
and EtherNet/IP prot ocols by tracking it ems such as connect ion status and address t ranslation erro rs.

Chapter 2 Getting Started

This chapter provides basic instructions for installing the MGate EIP3000.
The following topics are covered:

 Connecting Power
 Connecting Serial Devices
 Connecting to a Host or the Network
 Installing the Software
 Mounting the Unit

MGate EIP3000 Series User’s Manual Getting Started

Connecting Power

The unit can be powered using the AC adaptor or by co nnecting a power s ource to the termi nal block,
depending on the model. The following instructions are for the AC adaptor:

1. Plug the connector of the power adapter into the DC-IN jack on the back of the unit.

2. Plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet.

3. Follow these instructions to connect a power source to the terminal block:

4. Loosen or remove the screws on the terminal block.

5. Connect the 12–48 VDC power line to the terminal block.

6. Tighten the connections using the screws on the terminal block.
Note that the unit does not have an on/off switch. It automatically turns on when it receives power.

The PWR LED on the top panel will glow to indicate that the unit is receiving power.
For power terminal block pin assignments, please refer to the hardware reference chapter for your

model.

Connecting Serial Devices

The unit’s serial port(s) are located on the back panel. There are two options for connecting serial
devices, depending on the serial interface:

y You may use a DB9-to-DB9 cable to connect a serial device to the unit. Plug one end of the

cable into the port on the unit’s back panel and plug the other end of the cable into the device’s
serial port.

y You may m ake your own customi zed serial cable to connect a serial device to the unit. For the pin

assignments of the unit’s serial port, please refer to Chapter 6. This information can then be used
to construct your own serial cable.

For serial port pin assignments, please refer to the hardware reference chapter for your model.

Connecting to a Host or the Network

A 10/100BaseT Ethernet port is located on the unit’s front panel. This port is used for the unit’s
connection to a host or Ethernet network, as follows:

y For normal operation, use a standard straight-through Ethernet cable to connect the unit to your

EtherNet/IP network.

y For initial configuration or for troub leshooting purposes, you may connect the unit directly to a

PC. In this case, use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect the unit to your PC’s Ethernet
connector.

The unit’s Link LED will light up to indicate a live Ethernet connection.
One Ethernet port can be used to connect to the network, and the other port can be used to connect to

another Ethernet device.

Jumpers

SW 1

The DIP switches are located beneath the DIP switch panel on the side of the unit.
T o add a 120 Ω termination resistor, set switch 3 to ON; set switch 3 to OFF (the default setting) to

disable the termination resistor.
To set the pull high/low resistors to 150 KΩ, set switches 1 and 2 to OFF. This is the default

setting.
To set the pull high/low resistors to 1 KΩ, set switches 1 and 2 to ON.
Switch 4 on the port’s assigned DIP switch is reserved.

ATTENTION

Do not use the 1 KΩ pull high/low setting on the MGate EIP3000 when using the RS-232 interface.
Doing so will degrade the RS-232 signals and reduce the effective communication distance.
