Chapter 1 About the Anybus® Modbus-TCP/RTU Gateway General Information The Anybus® Modbus-TCP/RTU Gateway can be used to connect a Modbus/TCP master to one or several Modbus/RTU slaves. The transparent Modbus TCP/RTU gateway will act as a Modbus/TCP slave on an Ethernet network, and transform the queries to the Serial Modbus network, and send back the Modbus/RTU slave response to the Modbus/TCP master.
About the Anybus® Modbus-TCP/RTU Gateway 1-2 Mounting A - Snap on B - Snap off 1. Snap the Anybus module on to the DIN-rail (as described in picture A above). 2. Connect the Ethernet cable to the RJ45 connector. 3. Connect the Modbus/RTU network to the DSUB connector (RS-232) or through the screw ter- minal block (RS-485) 4.
About the Anybus® Modbus-TCP/RTU Gateway 1-3 Connectors Modbus/RTU Interface, RS-232 The 9-pole DSUB, male connector on the Anybus module contains a fully equipped RS-232 interface. This port can be used to connect to any equipment with an RS-232 interface. Pin no Function CD (Carrier Detect) Rx (Receive)
About the Anybus® Modbus-TCP/RTU Gateway 1-4 Digital Inputs The digital inputs are opto-isolated, and can accept a 10-24 VDC signal for logic HIGH input. For logic LOW the voltage should be in the range 0-2 VDC. The status of the inputs can be read in the Gateway Internal Registers (if enabled). See 2-7 “Internal Registers”...
Chapter 2 Configuration Configure the IP address About the Anybus IPConfig utility The IPConfig utility is a PC-based configuration utility to set TCP/IP network settings in the Anybus module. Anybus IPConfig scans the Ethernet network for connected Anybus devices and lets the user set IP-address, net mask, gateway, DNS and host name for each unit.

Configuration 2-2 Connecting the Anybus® Modbus-TCP/RTU Gateway to a hub or a switch Anybus Modbus TCP/RTU gateway Connecting the Anybus® Modbus-TCP/RTU Gateway directly to a PC Anybus Modbus TCP/RTU gateway When the Anybus IPConfig utility is started, it will scan the Ethernet network for Anybus devices. All detected devices will be presented in a list in the main window.
Configuration 2-3 Changing IP Settings To change the IP settings of a detected device, double-click on the device you want to configure in the list of devices.This will open a dialogue where you can enter the desired IP configuration. To obtain the necessary information about IP address, Subnet mask etc.

Configuration 2-4 The login screen should appear: To be able to configure the gateway you should enter “admin” in the user name box. This is the default password and can be changed at a later stage. If you have problems to log in and you are sure that your password is correct, make sure that Caps Lock is not enabled on your keyboard.
Configuration 2-5 Network Settings Choosing “Network” will give the opportunity to view and change the TCP/IP settings in the module. These settings are the same as the ones defined in Anybus IPConfig. DHCP: Select this if you have a DHCP server on our network and you want the IP address to be as- signed automatically by the server.
Configuration 2-6 Modbus Configuration Choosing “Config” will give the opportunity to configure Modus. Serial settings (Modbus RTU/ Comment ASCII) Transmission Mode RTU or ASCII Slave Response Time out Default value 200ms Physical Interface EIA-485 or EIA-232 Baud Rate 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 or 115200 bps Character Format Select number of stop bits and if parity should be enabled (odd or even) Extra delay between messages...
Configuration 2-7 Internal Registers If Gateway Registers are enabled, queries sent to those addresses will not be forwarded to the Serial Modbus/RTU network, but handled by the gateway. Register Name Values Options Comment Digital input 1 status 0 or 1 Read only Digital input 2 status 0 or 1...
Configuration 2-8 Register Name Values Options Comment Number of stop bits 1 - 2 Default: 1 stop bit Slave time out time 25 - 65535 ms Default: 1000 ms Physical interface 0 - 2 EIA-485 Default (Screw termi- nal block) EIA-232 (DSUB) EIA-232...
