Atop Modbus Gateway MB54XX-X Series User’s Manual V 1.1 3.2.2 Configure Automatic IP Assignment with DHCP A DHCP server can automatically assign addresses to LAN1 or LAN2, the Subnet Mask, and the Gateway. You can simply check “DHCP” box in the Network Setting dialog using our Device View© utility and then restart it; once restarted it will be automatically configured. 3.3 Web Overview In this section, only current information on the device’s status and settings will be displayed. Fig. 3.
Atop Modbus Gateway MB54XX-X Series User’s Manual V 1.1 3.4 Network Configuration In this section, IP, Subnet Mask and overall connectivity settings can be accessed. When on 1 Redundancy Mode the device will have the two LAN ports connected to the Network, but the signal will flow through one of them. In the case one line is out due to any reason there will still be another route so the signal can keep flowing. Fig. 3.
Atop Modbus Gateway MB54XX-X Series User’s Manual V 1.1 When the device is set on Dual Subnet Mode, a set of two IP addresses can be used without having Redundancy. This is especially useful when using two different networks. Fig. 3.
Atop Modbus Gateway MB54XX-X Series User’s Manual V 1.1 3.5 Basic Settings 3.5.1 COM Settings This section is responsible for settings on your physical ports, (may them be COM or serial). Fig. 3.
Atop Modbus Gateway MB54XX-X Series User’s Manual V 1.1 3.5.2 Operation Mode RTU Slave: when working as a slave node, the device will wait and accept request from its master; data transfer is done under an RTU format. RTU Master: when working as a master node, the device will issue commands to the slave node; data transfer is under an RTU format. ASCII Slave: when working as a slave node, the device will wait and accept request from its own master; data transfer is under an ASCII format.
Atop Modbus Gateway MB54XX-X Series User’s Manual V 1.1 3.5.4 VCOM Settings Generates a virtual Serial (COM) port within the device by the network connection, it is a TCP connection but the encoding is an Atop Technologies’ exclusive private protocol. There is the choice to set your device as either a Master or a Slave in your network. You will need a VCOM setting, proceed to go to Basic Settings → VCOM Settings and tick on the VCOM’s “Enable” box to allow configuration on the port selected.
Atop Modbus Gateway MB54XX-X Series User’s Manual V 1.1 Fig. 3. 12 VCOM inactivity’s Time Out can be set as well (which is the period of time allowed between actions), with a maximum of 600 minutes or 10 hours. If no action has been taken after this period, VCOM connection will be automatically interrupted by the system. It is important to note that alternatively, these settings can be chosen to be applied to All VCOMs if needed by checking the last box on the options. Fig. 3.
Atop Modbus Gateway MB54XX-X Series User’s Manual V 1.1 3.5.5 TCP Settings Settings for representing a Modbus TCP connection using the internet are set here. First go to Basic Settings ↔ TCP Settings, then proceed to choose whether to enable TCP ticking on the “Enable” box. Fig. 3. 14 TCP Slave: When on this mode, the device will run on Slave mode and wait to receive Modbus requests from the Master; data transmission is done under a Modbus TCP format.
Atop Modbus Gateway MB54XX-X Series User’s Manual V 1.1 Fig. 3. 15 On Operation Mode choose whether the device is going to be a Slave or a Master. Remote IP Address refers to the IP belonging to the device that is going to be controlled from your MB54XX Series; this option is not available when the device is set as a Master. TCP Port is the port through which the signal is going to be relayed upon.
Atop Modbus Gateway MB54XX-X Series User’s Manual V 1.1 3.5.6 Slave ID Map The system uses the Modbus ID to route Modbus’ request commands (from the master node) to the respective slave node; it is paramount to define ID maps for each slave node. For every slave node, there must be a correct Virtual ID (Alias ID) and Real ID defined in the maps. Fig. 3.
Atop Modbus Gateway MB54XX-X Series User’s Manual V 1.1 Slave Interface When a port is set to slave mode, a Slave interface will be then created for you. Select the Slave Interface, which is the COM/VCOM/TCP port; then select Alias Mode or Offset Mode to modify the range and offset as you needed. Alias Mode maps a virtual ID to a real ID each at the time. Alias ID which refers to a Virtual ID for the reading Master node. Real ID which is the real ID from the slave node.
Atop Modbus Gateway MB54XX-X Series User’s Manual V 1.1 3.6 Advanced Settings 3.6.1 SNMP Settings SNMP Settings determines whether your device settings can be viewed with standard SNMP software; by default it is disabled. SysName which is by default the MAC address SysLocation refers to the device’s physical location. SysContact is the device administrator’s contact information.
Atop Modbus Gateway MB54XX-X Series User’s Manual V 1.1 3.6.2 Modbus In Modbus settings, you could select whether to enable Modbus Exception or not. If the Modbus’ slave produces no response, timeout occurs, it may then be necessary for the gateway to return an Exception, and setting the Response timeout as follows. Configure timeout for each COM port Configure timeout for TCP/ VCOM port Fig. 3.
Atop Modbus Gateway MB54XX-X Series User’s Manual V 1.1 3.7 Alert Configuration 3.7.1 SMTP and Email Settings In Alert Events, you can configure options to let your Modbus Gateway to send out device information to alert users, administrators, or responsible personnel. There are five anomalies defined in it to trigger alert functions. Cold Start, power supply is interrupted. Warm Start, the device Restart function is used, (either by pressing a button or by its interface).
Atop Modbus Gateway MB54XX-X Series User’s Manual V 1.1 When enabled, an E-mail alert would be sent to the designated E-mail address in the E-Mail Settings. To setup an email alert function, you first need to configure the recipient’s email address and the mail server. Fig. 3.
