1.1 Product Function
Modbus Serial/TCP series gateway can achieve the interconnection between Ethernet (Modbus TCP protocol)
devices and serial (Modbus RTU/ASCII) devices. The Modbus Serial/TCP series gateway supports dual Ethernet
ports, built-in switch; the serial side supports single/dual/four serial port. Each port supports both RS485 and
RS232, but the same product can only achieve one type of port, users can specify the port according to actual
needs when ordering.

User Manual
Industrial Ethernet Serial Gateway
Mod bus Serial/TCP Series
Run mode, allowing reading and writing of configuration
data
Configuration mode, IP address is 192.168.0.10 (fixed),
this mode can read and write configuration data but cannot
finish communication between Modbus TCP and Modbus
RTU devices
Run mode, forbidding reading and writing of configuration
data (configuration data protection switch )
Firmware update mode, IP address is 192.168.0.10, this
mode can only update firmware
Notes:
Restart Modbus Serial/TCP series gateway (power off and power on) after resetting the configuration
to make the configuration take effect!
2.4 Interface
2.4.1 Power interface
Modbus Serial/TCP series gateway uses a 24V DC power supply. The power interface uses a 3-pin 7.62mm both
ends of the closed-end terminals, defined as follows:

2.4.3 Serial interface
TX, connect with RX of user device
RX, connect with TX of user device
Modbus Serial/TCP series gateway uses a 3-pin 5.08mm closed terminal of two ends. Ports support RS485 or
RS232.
Pin of RS232 interface is defined as below:
Pin of RS485 interface is defined as below:
The RS485 interface of the Modbus Serial/TCP series gateway is a standard one, and the RS485
characteristics of the product are shown as follows:
1. The basic characteristics of RS485 transmission technology
① Network topology: Linear bus, there are active bus terminal resistors at both sides.
User Manual
Industrial Ethernet Serial Gateway
Mod bus Serial/TCP Series
② Transmission rate: 1200 bps~115.2Kbps.
③ Media: Shielded twisted-pair cable and also can cancel the shielding, depending on environmental
conditions (EMC).
④Site numbers: 32 stations per subsection (without repeater), and can up to 127 stations (with RS485
repeater).
⑤Plug connection: 3-pin pluggable terminal.
2. The main points on RS485 transmission equipment installation
①All the equipment are connected with RS485 bus;
②Subsection can be connected up to 32 sites;
③The farthest end of each bus has a termination resistor—120Ω 1/2W to ensure reliable operation of the
network.
