QUICK-START GUIDE
Before the MBX Bridge can be used, it must be properly configured. The configuration
procedure involves creating two or more MBX devices and configuring routing records to
route messages between them.
To accomplish this, you must install the software, then run the MBX Device Configuration
Editor to create the MBX devices the bridge will use. For information on this topic, refer
to the help file for the drivers you wish to configure. After you have configured the
drivers, you must run the MBX Bridge Configuration Editor to create the routing records.
The following steps show a typical configuration session. Use it only as a guideline of
how to configure the most common features. For detailed descriptions of all of the
available features, refer to the Configuration Editor Reference section.
For this procedure, we will present a simple Modbus Plus to Modbus Plus routing
example. This example assumes that we have two PCI-85 dapter cards configured as
MBX devices 0 and 1. Each adapter card is connected to a separate Modbus Plus
network. We will use slave path 1 for routing messages between the two networks.
We will configure the following two routing records:
Source
Device Slave Path Filter
Destination
Device Network Type Routing Timeout
0
1
*.*.*.*.*
1
Modbus Plus
MB3.MB4.MB5.0.0
5000
1
1
*.*.*.*.*
0
Modbus Plus
MB3.MB4.MB5.0.0
5000
This configuration closely emulates the operation of the BP85. Refer to the Modbus Plus /
Modbus Plus routing example for a functional description of this configuration.
The procedure is broken into several short segments:
 Creating Bridge Devices
 Creating Routing Records
 Saving and Backing Up Your Configuration
 Starting the Bridge and Applying the Configuration
