1-port Modbus RTU/ASCII/TCP-to-EtherNet/IP gateways
The MGate 5105-MB-EIP is an industrial Ethernet gateway for Modbus RTU/ASCII/TCP and EtherNet/IP network communication. To integrate
existing Modbus devices onto an EtherNet/IP network, use the MGate 5105-MB-EIP as a Modbus master or slave to collect data and exchange data with EtherNet/IP devices. The latest exchange data will be stored in the gateway as well. The gateway converts stored Modbus data into EtherNet/IP packets so the EtherNet/IP scanner can control or monitor Modbus devices.
The MGate 5105-MB-EIP is equipped with a microSD card slot. A microSD card can be used to back up both the system configuration and system log, and can be used to conveniently copy the same configuration to several MGate 5105-MP-EIP units. The configuration file stored in the microSD card will be copied to the MGate itself when the system is rebooted.
The MGate 5105-MB-EIP also provides a web console to make configuration easy without having to install an extra utility. Simply log in as an administrator to access all settings, or as a general user with read-only permission. Besides configuring basic protocol settings, you can use the web console to monitor I/O data values and transfers. In particular, I/O Data Mapping shows data addresses for both protocols in the gateway’s memory and I/O Data View allows you to track data values for online nodes. Moreover, diagnostics and communication analysis for each protocol can also provide helpful information for troubleshooting.

New Technology Automates Arduous Routing Setup in Modbus Gateways
When a lot Modbus devices need to be monitored and controlled, engineers usually have to spend a lot of time planning the topology of these devices and segmenting them into different subgroups. Moreover, they are also weighed down by the mundane task of keying in hundreds of Modbus slave IDs to set up each Modbus gateway’s Modbus slave ID routing table. Thus, engineers are constantly on the lookout for solutions that address this pain point when setting up multiple Modbus devices. This white paper takes a closer look at different routing technologies and their pros and cons, as well as a new technology that helps save time and costs when configuring and managing a large number of Modbus devices.
How to Architect Your Systems to Get the Most Out of Your Modbus Devices
The migration of all industrial applications to Ethernet is unquestioned. But, before network engineers can inch closer toward all-systems-go, they need to overcome several challenges. The most pressing one is to ensure that there is no breakdown in communication between serial devices and SCADA hosts. It is no secret that plenty of solutions are available on the market. The immediate question is which solution fits your network’s requirements the best.
In this white paper, we will look at four challenges that arise when linking up Modbus-supported devices to SCADA systems. We will also provide solutions for different scenarios to address your concerns.
