2.2 Descrição do Hardware

Figura 2: Front Panel Layout of the MGate 5135-1. This image provides a clear view of the front panel, detailing the location of the Ethernet ports (ETH1, ETH2), LED indicators (POWER1, POWER2, READY, EtherNet/IP, Modbus), and the DB9 serial port (TX/RX).
The MGate 5135-1 features:
- Entradas de energia: Dual redundant power inputs (P1, P2) for reliability.
- Portas Ethernet: Two 10/100BaseT(X) RJ45 ports (ETH1, ETH2) for network connectivity.
- Porta serial: One DB9 male connector for Modbus RTU/ASCII communication.
- Indicadores LED: Status LEDs for power, ready status, EtherNet/IP activity, and Modbus activity.
2.3 Montagem
The MGate 5135-1 is designed for DIN-rail mounting. Ensure a secure fit in an industrial enclosure with adequate ventilation.
2.4 Conexão de Energia
- Connect a 12-48 VDC power source to the terminal block labeled P1.
- For redundant power, connect a second 12-48 VDC power source to P2.
- Garanta a polaridade adequada.
2.5 Conexão de rede
- Connect an Ethernet cable from your network switch or controller to either ETH1 or ETH2 port.
- The device supports 10/100 Mbps auto-negotiation.
2.6 Conexão Serial
- Connect your Modbus RTU/ASCII device to the DB9 serial port.
- Refer to the device's documentation for pin assignments and wiring configurations (RS-232/422/485).
3. Instruções de operação
3.1 Configuração Inicial
Upon initial power-up, the MGate 5135-1 will attempt to obtain an IP address via DHCP. If DHCP is not available, it will revert to a default IP address (refer to the Quick Installation Guide for the default IP). Access the device's web console via a web browser using its IP address for detailed configuration.
3.2 Modbus to EtherNet/IP Conversion
The primary function of the MGate 5135-1 is to translate Modbus commands and data to EtherNet/IP and vice-versa. This involves:
- Modbus Master/Slave Configuration: Configure the gateway to act as a Modbus master or slave on the serial side, depending on your Modbus device setup.
- EtherNet/IP Adapter Configuration: The gateway functions as an EtherNet/IP adapter, allowing an EtherNet/IP scanner (e.g., PLC) to communicate with Modbus devices.
- Mapeamento de dados: Map Modbus registers/coils to EtherNet/IP tags or assemblies within the gateway's web interface. This defines how data is exchanged between the two protocols.
Detailed mapping and protocol-specific settings are available in the device's comprehensive user manual, accessible via the Moxa website.
4. Manutenção
4.1 Cuidados Gerais
- Mantenha o dispositivo limpo e livre de poeira. Use um pano macio e seco para a limpeza.
- Garanta uma circulação de ar adequada ao redor da unidade para evitar o superaquecimento.
- Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures or humidity outside its specified operating range (-10 to 60°C).
4.2 atualizações de firmware
Verifique periodicamente a moxabustão. website for firmware updates. Firmware updates can provide new features, performance improvements, and security enhancements. Follow the instructions provided with the firmware package carefully.
5. Solução De Problemas
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with the MGate 5135-1.
5.1 O LED de alimentação está desligado
- Verifique se a fonte de alimentação está conectada corretamente e fornecendo a tensão especificada.tage (12-48 VCC).
- Verifique o cabo de alimentação quanto a danos.
- Verifique se a fonte de alimentação está ativa.
5.2 Sem conectividade de rede
- Check the Ethernet cable connection to both the gateway and the network switch.
- Verify that the network switch port is active and configured correctly.
- Confirm the gateway's IP address and subnet mask settings.
- Try pinging the gateway's IP address from a connected computer.
5.3 Modbus Communication Failure
- Verify the serial cable connection and pin assignments.
- Check the serial port settings (baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits) on both the gateway and the Modbus device.
- Ensure the Modbus device address is correctly configured in the gateway's settings.
- Confirm that the Modbus device is powered on and functioning correctly.
5.4 EtherNet/IP Communication Failure
- Verify the EtherNet/IP scanner (e.g., PLC) is correctly configured to communicate with the MGate 5135-1's IP address.
- Check the data mapping configuration within the gateway's web interface to ensure Modbus data is correctly exposed to EtherNet/IP.
- Ensure the EtherNet/IP connection is established and healthy.
