Serial/Ethernet Converter / Modbus Gateway
IE-CS-MBGW-2TX-1COM (Part No. 2682600000) (from product Rev. V1.1)

 Introduction

Device IE-CS-MBGW-2TX-1COM is a multi-purpose Serial/Ethernet converter and Modbus TCP/RTU-ASCII protocol gateway and is equipped with one configurable RS232/422/485 port and two Ethernet RJ45 ports (acting like an unmanaged 2-Port switch).

If configured as Serial/Ethernet converter it can be used to convert data streams between serial and Ethernet networks. The converter supports standard device server features like Virtual COM Mode, TCP Server/Client or UDP Server/Client operation modes.

Running as Modbus protocol gateway it can be used to convert data streams between protocols Modbus TCP (Ethernet) and Modbus ASCII/RTU (serial-based). The device supports the operation modes “ASCII/RTU Master to TCP Slave Gateway” and “TCP Master to ASCII/RTU Slave Gateway”.

The devices are designed for industrial applications and fitted with a robust housing. To ensure reliable, error-free operation, and to prevent damage or injury, please read the operating instructions, all safety information provided in this document and any other safety information that were supplied with the product

DIN-Rail Mounting
Slide the device onto DIN-rail and make sure that the Din-rail clip clicks into the rail firmly.

STEP 1: Insert the top of the DIN Rail into the slot just below the stiff metal spring.
STEP 2: The DIN-Rail attachment unit will snap into place as shown below.

To remove the device from the DIN-rail simply reverse steps 1 and 2.

Grounding

**| ATTENTION**

  • Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI).
  • Do the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.
  • This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface, such as a metal panel.
  • The shielding ground of the RJ45 ports are electrically connected to the ground connection (screw).

Communication Connections
The Converter/Gateway is equipped with

  • 2 x RJ45 Ethernet Port 10/100BASE-T(X) / Auto MDI-X
  • q1 x Serial Interface (DB9 male connector)

Please use for RJ45 Ethernet Ports only cables suitable for the respective type of communication and ensure that signals are protected from possible interference.

10/100BASE-T(X) RJ45 Ports
The 10/100BASE-T(X) ports are used to connect to Ethernet-enabled devices. Below table shows pinouts for both MDI (NIC-type) ports and MDI-X (HUB/Switch- type) ports. Auto MDI-X ensures that both wiring-schemes are supported (Automatic crossover).

LED Indicators
Description of front panel LED indicators

LED Color Status Description
PWR1 Green On Power is supplied to power input PWR1.
PWR2 Green On Power is supplied to power input PWR2.
Eth1 Green On Ethernet Port 1 is connected.
Blinking Data is transmitted.
Eth2 Green On Ethernet Port 2 is connected.
Blinking Data is transmitted.
Rx Amber Blinking Receiving serial data.
Tx Green Blinking Transmitting serial data.

Note: If – after connecting the Converter/Gateway to the serial device via a RS485 2-wire connection – the Rx LED is constantly on (Amber) though no data traffic has been started, this indicates a reversed connection of DATA- (A) and DATA+ (B) between the devices (RS485 cabling error).
