The MGate 5135-1 features:
- Ntinye ike: Dual redundant power inputs (P1, P2) for reliability.
- ọdụ ụgbọ mmiri Ethernet: Two 10/100BaseT(X) RJ45 ports (ETH1, ETH2) for network connectivity.
- Oghere Usoro: One DB9 male connector for Modbus RTU/ASCII communication.
- Ihe ngosi LED: Status LEDs for power, ready status, EtherNet/IP activity, and Modbus activity.
2.3 Na-arịgo
The MGate 5135-1 is designed for DIN-rail mounting. Ensure a secure fit in an industrial enclosure with adequate ventilation.
2.4 Njikọ ike
- 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.
- Gbaa mbọ hụ na polarity kwesịrị ekwesị.
2.5 Njikọ netwọkụ
- 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 Njikọ Oghere Usoro
- 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. Ntuziaka ọrụ
3.1 Nhazi izizi
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.
- Data Mapping: 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 websaịtị.

- Lelee eriri ọkụ maka mmebi.
- Hụ na isi iyi ike ahụ na-arụ ọrụ.
5.2 No Network Connectivity
- 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.
