Modbus is an industry adopted communication protocol based on RTU, ASCII, and TCP protocols for
various applications; these three protocols are commonly used by hardware equipments in the industry,
such as DCS, PLC, HMI, power load measurement, various sensor and measuring instruments. The
Modbus Gateway is capable of implementing the Modbus environment between different hardware
interfaces, thereby streamlining the process of management and application.
Diverse Hardware Infrastructure
Modbus Gateway supports the four most commonly used hardware communication interfaces, RS232,
RS485, RS422, and Ethernet. The simple-to-use configuration software provided with Modbus Gateway
can quickly modify the hardware interface to use, and easily switch to the existing hardware
communication infrastructure.
Switching between Modbus Protocols
Modbus Gateway supports the standard Modbus protocol and is capable of converting any Modbus
protocols between Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU or Modbus ASCII for all supported hardware
interfaces.
Packaging
Please check ones package contains the following items:
§ ATC-3001 x 1
§ Power Adapter 9~24VDC x 1
§ Product CD containing configuration utility x 1
§ ATC-3001 1-port Modbus Gateway quick start guide x 1
Step 1: Connect ATC-3001 to power source using 9~24VDC Jack.
Step 2: Connect ATC-3001 to Ethernet network. Use a standard straight-through Ethernet cable when
one connect it to a hub/switch, one also can connect it to ones PC‘s Ethernet port via a
cross-over Ethernet cable for easy set up. However, in this case one need to make sure ones
PC is in the same network sub-net as ATC-3001.
Step 3: Connect ATC-3001’s serial port to a serial device.
Step 4: Placement options. One can mount ATC-3001 to a wall/panel (Mounting screws included) or
ATC-3001 Modbus Gateway is shipped with default settings shown in the following table:

3.1 Configuration by Device View
3.1.1 Static IP
Use Device View that comes with product CD to configure the network parameters of ATC-3001.
Please click “Configuration” button (ref Figure 3.1) then give it a static IP information.( Figure 3.2)
A DHCP server can automatically assign the IP address and network settings. ATC-3001 supports the DHCP
function. By default, the DHCP function on ATC-3001 is disabled; one can use Device View software to
search network information automatically by following steps:
->Execute Device View (Figure 3.1)
->Click on the IP address of ATC-3001 in Device View
->Click “Config” button(It will pop-up Dialog Window)
->Check ”Auto IP” (Figure 3.3)
->Click “Config Now” button(The ATC-3001 will restart and get IP from DHCP server automatically)
name, set the baud rate and parity, determine number of data bit and stop bit, and decide if one want to use
flow control and the type of flow control one want to use. The following screen (Figure 3.10) illustrates how to
setup 9600 baudrate, none parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit.
Figure 3.10 COM1 Setup
3.2.6 Exit with Save and Reset
Select “7” from “Input choice and enter (1~8,a~f):” to Exit with Save. Please choose this option to save all
the previous changes to EEPROM, the device will restart automatically.
3.2.7 Exit with Save and Reset
Select “8” from “Input choice and enter (1~8,a~f):” to Exit with Save. Please choose this option to discard
all the previous changes the device will close telnet connection automatically.
3.2.8 Link 1 Setup
Select “a” from “Input choice and enter (1~8,a~f):” to Exit with Save. The following screen (Figure 3.11)
illustrates how to set port to 502, connection to 2, input timeout to 400, protocol to ASCII, and retry to 2
times.
1. Select “c” from “Input choice and enter (1~8,a~f): ”. The following screen (Figure 3.12) illustrates
how to change default empty password to “1111”.
Figure 3.12 change the password
2. If one want to change the password, please type the old password in the “Please input old
password” field, type the new password in the “Please input new password” and the “Please
verify new password” fields.
Note: One can press the default key of product to reset password to the default value.
3.2.10 SNMP Settings
a. Select “d” from “Input choice and enter (1~8,a~f):” to change SNMP Name field.
