Introduction

The MGate 5135 /5435 gateways are 1- and 4-port industrial
Ethernet gateways, respectively for Modbus RTU/ASCII/TCP and EtherNet/IP
network communications. To integrate existing Modbus devices onto
an EtherNet/IP network, use the MGate 5135/5435 gateway as a Modbus
client to collect data and exchange data with the EtherNet/IP host.
All models are protected by a rugged and compact metal housing, are
DIN-rail mountable, and offer built-in serial isolation. The rugged
design is suitable for industrial applications such as factory automation,
power, oil and gas, water and wastewater, and other process automation
industries.

Easy Configuration

The MGate 5135/5435 gateways are provided with a web
console to make configuration easy without having to install an extra
utility. In addition, HTTPS encryption of communication ensures higher
network security. In most data-acquisition applications, configuration
of devices with Modbus commands can be time-consuming and increase
costs. The MGate 5135/5435 gateways provide offline configuration
via a CSV file to help complete the Modbus settings quickly. The MGate
gateways also provide software-configurable pull high/low and termination
resistor settings for RS-485 2-wire to reduce efforts and the need
to open the chassis.

Easy Troubleshooting

The MGate 5135/5435 gateways provide a variety of maintenance
functions to reduce troubleshooting time and cost, including LED indicators,
protocol diagnostics, traffic monitor, and tag view. These tools help
you capture and check data to easily identify the root cause of issues,
especially during the installation stage. The MGate gateways also
come with status monitoring and fault protection functions. The status
monitoring function notifies a PLC/DCS/SCADA system when a Modbus
device gets disconnected or does not respond, in which case the process
PLC/DCS gets the status of each end device and then issues alarms
to notify operators. The fault protection function executes actions
pre-defined by the user when a host gets disconnected to prevent the
end devices from going offline for long periods of time..
