3.4.1 Grounding
The DIN rail should always be grounded in accordance with national and local electrical codes. The most
effective grounding method is a direct connection to earth ground with minimal impedance. Grounding
to the Gateway is accomplished through the DIN rail clip on the back of the Gateway.
3.4.2 Ethernet
The Gateway is equipped with two 10/100 base-TX Ethernet communications ports (see Figure 3-5 on
page 18). These connections can be used to access the Gateway’s web interface and to communicate
Modbus TCP, OPC, and EtherNet/IP protocols.
The primary Ethernet port (Ethernet 1) is used to connect to the host system or other application
systems. The secondary Ethernet port (Ethernet 2) can be used as a back up connection or a
maintenance port for local access to the Gateway.
Note
Unless dual Ethernet ports were specified at the time of order, the secondary Ethernet port (Ethernet 2)
will not be active.
