Overview
The MGate 5111 Series consists of industrial Ethernet gateways that convert between Modbus RTU/ASCII/TCP,
EtherNet/IP, PROFINET and PROFIBUS protocols. All models are protected with a rugged metallic casing, are
DIN-rail mountable, and offer built-in serial isolation. Modbus is one of the most widely used industrial
communication protocol, and EtherNet/IP, PROFINET and PROFIBUS protocols are commonly seen in factory
automation and process automation. The MGate 5111 gateways support both Modbus RTU/ASCII/TCP master
or slave modes, so you can easily connect your Modbus device to PROFIBUS PLCs or DCSs, such as Siemens
PLCs. For system integration, the MGate 5111 helps you connect EtherNet/IP PLC/SCADA, for example
Rockwell Automation PLCs, to PROFIBUS PLC/DCS system, or between a new Siemens PLC system that
supports PROFINET to an existing PROFIBUS system. The MGate 5111 gateways, designed for easy
configuration and quick maintenance, provide a web console for remote maintenance, a wizard UI to help you
set up the gateway quickly, and build-in comprehensive troubleshooting tools to reduce configuration time or
system downtime. The rugged design is suitable for industrial applications such as factory automation, power,
oil & gas, water and wastewater, and other process automation industries.
The MGate 5111 Series of gateways has LED indicators and supports Protocol Diagnose and Traffic Monitor for
easy troubleshooting, especially during the installation stage. Communication issues could be caused by
incorrect software parameters, such as slave ID and register address, or incorrect command configuration.
With Protocol Diagnose and Traffic Monitor, you can check the captured data and easily identify the root cause.
The MGate 5111 Series of gateways also supports status monitoring and fault protection. 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 an alarm to notify operators.
The fault protection function executes actions to end devices with a pre-defined value set by the user when a
PROFIBUS cable gets disconnected.
Windows-Based Utility and Web Console for Easy Setup
A Windows-based utility is provided to make it easy to search for and locate devices, assign IP addresses,
import/export configuration files, and upgrade the MGate 5111’s firmware. The utility automatically connects
to all available MGate 5111 units on the local area network (LAN). A user-friendly web console is provided to
configure the device from a web browser.
