Introduction
The MGate 5105-MB-EIP is an industrial Ethernet gateway for Modbus RTU/ASCII/TCP and EtherNet/IP network communications with IIoT
applications, based on MQTT or third-party cloud services, such as Azure and Alibaba Cloud. To integrate existing Modbus devices onto an
EtherNet/IP network, use the MGate 5105-MB-EIP as a Modbus master or slave to collect data and exchange data with EtherNet/IP devices. The
latest exchange data will be stored in the gateway as well. The gateway converts stored Modbus data into EtherNet/IP packets so the EtherNet/IP
scanner can control or monitor Modbus devices. The MQTT standard with supported cloud solutions on the MGate 5105-MB-EIP leverages
advanced security, configuration, and diagnostics to troubleshoot technologies to deliver scalable and extensible solutions that are suitable for
remote monitoring applications such as energy management and assets management.
Configuration Backup via microSD Card
The MGate 5105-MB-EIP is equipped with a microSD card slot. A microSD card can be used to back up both the system configuration and system
log, and can be used to conveniently copy the same configuration to several MGate 5105-MP-EIP units. The configuration file stored in the
microSD card will be copied to the MGate itself when the system is rebooted.
Effortless Configuration and Troubleshooting via Web Console
The MGate 5105-MB-EIP also provides a web console to make configuration easy without having to install an extra utility. Simply log in as an
administrator to access all settings, or as a general user with read-only permission. Besides configuring basic protocol settings, you can use the
web console to monitor I/O data values and transfers. In particular, I/O Data Mapping shows data addresses for both protocols in the gateway’s
memory, and I/O Data View allows you to track data values for online nodes. Moreover, diagnostics and communication analysis for each protocol
can also provide helpful information for troubleshooting.
Redundant Power Inputs
The MGate 5105-MB-EIP has dual power inputs for greater reliability. The power inputs allow simultaneous connection to 2 live DC power sources,
so that continuous operation is provided even if one power source fails. The higher level of reliability makes these advanced Modbus-to-EtherNet/
IP gateways ideal for demanding industrial applications.
