Serial/Ethernet Converter / Modbus Gateway
IE-CS-MBGW-2TX-1COM (Part No. 2682600000)

1. Introduction

Device IE-CS-MBGW-2TX-1COM is a multi-purpose Serial/Ethernet converter and Modbus
TCP/RTU-ASCII protocol gateway and is equipped with one configurable RS232/422/485 port
and two Ethernet RJ45 ports (acting like an unmanaged 2-Port switch).
If configured as Serial/Ethernet converter it can be used to convert data streams between
serial and Ethernet networks. The converter supports standard device server features like
Virtual COM Mode, TCP Server/Client or UDP Server/Client operation modes.
Running as Modbus protocol gateway it can be used to convert data streams between
protocols Modbus TCP (Ethernet) and Modbus ASCII/RTU (serial-based). The device
supports the operation modes "ASCII/RTU Master to TCP Slave Gateway" and "TCP Master
to ASCII/RTU Slave Gateway".
The devices are designed for industrial applications and fitted with a robust housing. To
ensure reliable, error-free operation, and to prevent damage or injury, please read the
operating instructions, all safety information provided in this document and any other safety
information that were supplied with the product.

2. Safety notice

The device heats up during operation. Allow the unit to cool down or use protection
gloves when carrying out any work.
The device may only be connected to the supply voltage shown on the product label.
Higher voltage than specified will destroy the device.
The device must be supplied by a SELV source as defined in the Low Voltage
Directive 2014/35/EU and 2014/30/EU.
Installation, commissioning and maintenance may only be performed by qualified
electricians.
Observe the operating instructions.
 Indoor use and pollution degree II, it must be wiped with a dry cloth for clean up
the device and label.
o Utilisation en intérieur et degré de pollution II, il faut l'essuyer avec un chiffon sec
pour nettoyer l'appareil et son étiquette.
 Do not block air ventilation holes.
o Ne bouchez pas les orifices de ventilation.
 If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
o Si l'appareil est utilise d'une maniere non specifiee par le fabricant, la protection
qu'il apporte peut se voir diminuee.
 Shall be mounted in the Industrial Control Panel and ambient temperature is not
exceed 70 degrees C.
o Doit être monté dans le panneau de commande industriel et la température
ambiante ne doit pas dépasser 70 degrés C.
Intended use:
The device is intended for the realization of communication networks within an
industrial environment, it is intended to be used in a restricted access location. The device may only
be used within the scope of the specified technical data. The device is intended to be mounted to a
well-grounded mounting surface, such as a metal panel. Any other use may result in unintentional
malfunction and damage. Observing the documentation is part of the intended use.
Environmental conditions:
This equipment is intended to be used in a restricted access location.
When planning the installation site make sure that the ambient temperature during operation will not
exceed the temperature given in the technical data.
Also make sure that the air flow will not be compromised by other devices.
Ensure that the mounted and wired device is not exposed to any mechanical stress.
FCC compliance:
This device complies with part 15 of FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

5. Mounting Dimensions

6. DIN-Rail Mounting

Slide the device onto DIN-rail and make sure that the Din-rail clip clicks into the rail firmly.
STEP 1: Insert the top of the DIN-
Rail into the slot just below the stiff
metal spring.
STEP 2: The DIN-Rail attachment
unit will snap into place as shown
below.
To remove the device from the
DIN-rail simply reverse steps 1
and 2.

7. Grounding

ATTENTION
- Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI).
- Do the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding
surface prior to connecting devices.
- This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting
surface, such as a metal panel.
- The shielding ground of the RJ45 ports are electrically connected to the
ground connection (screw).
