Connections and Components DIN Gateway Connections The DIN Gateway has a 6-position pluggable terminal block for power and serial communications. The connections are as follows: Terminal Name Connection 6-36VDC (RED) Positive Power (6 to 36 VDC) GROUND (BLK) Ground RS232 TX (ORG) RS-232 Debug TX, 9600 Baud (Only used with Ethernet Interface module) RS232 RX (YEL) RS-232 Debug RX, 9600 Baud (Only used with Ethernet Interface module)
Status LEDs The DIN Gateway has three LED Available for field diagnostics. The RS485 TX/RX LEDs will blink in response to RS485 traffic, the status LED is described below. STATUS LED Description Slow Flash (3 second pause) System is running and in communication with radio network Fast Flash (0.5 second pause) System is running but no network found Solid On...
Remote Modbus Stick Node Re-Scan It is possible to cause a remote Modbus Stick to re-scan for attached Modbus devices by writing to one of the gateway’s configuration registers. This is useful to discover a Modbus device that is added to an existing Modbus node. The scan may be initiated by one of the two methods.

Using the SignalFire Toolkit The SignalFire Toolkit application can be downloaded at www.signal- fire.com/customer. After installation, launch the software and the main toolkit window will open: Select the COM port associated with the DIN Gateway and click “Auto-Detect Device on COM Port.” This will open the device configuration window, where all device settings can be configured.
Network Setting The network is set using the SignalFire Toolkit. There can only be one Gateway per network/group/encryption combination, otherwise they will conflict. In a system with multiple Gateways, each Gateway must be on a separate network/group/encryption combination. The network, network group, and corporate ID/encryption key settings must match those of its nodes for them to communicate.
Checking Remote Nodes If one or more remote nodes are configured with the correct network settings, they will send their data to the gateway. Clicking Refresh List will populate the list with all connected remote nodes. The gateway displays the node type, node name (if it has been set), RSSI signal strength, check-in interval, the Time-To-Live (TTL), and the node’s radio and main firmware versions.
Remote Node Configuration The SignalFire Gateway allows configuration changes to be made to any of the connected SignalFire remote nodes wirelessly. To use this feature, access to the Gateway debug port is required. This may be accessed over a TCP/IP network using a SignalFire Ethernet Gateway module, or by a direct connection to the Gateway RS232 port.

Make any necessary changes and click the Apply All Settings button to save the changes. When finished with the configuration, close the configuration window and then click the End button in the Gateway window to end the session. The session will also automatically time-out after 15 minutes of inactivity and the Node will resume normal operation.
Firmware Upgrades Firmware updates for both the gateway (ARM) and the built-in radio are possible over the RS-232 debug interface using the SignalFire Toolkit, or over a remote TCP connection if an Ethernet Gateway module is used. Gateway (ARM) Firmware update steps Open the SignalFire Toolkit application.
Remote Shutdown (RSD) and Local Digital Output Control The SignalFire Gateway supports Internal Logic Control capability which enables the Gateway to control output relays on SignalFire RSD sticks as well as the two digital outputs local to the Gateway. The SignalFire Gateway Stick receives data from multiple remote nodes. It can use the data from those remote nodes to set the relay output on one or more remote RSD sticks.
RSD Configuration From the Gateway configuration window within the SignalFire Toolkit, go to the Settings menu and select Remote Shutdown Settings. This will open the RSD configuration window. Source Value Section The ‘Source Value’ section is used to select the source register for the logic rule. Modbus ID –...
Relay Control Logic Section The ‘Relay Control Logic’ section is used to set the trigger thresholds for the selected source data register. Run System (Energize Relay) – Select the logic operand to use for the “energize” logic evaluation. Value – The value that the relay will be energized. Note that the energized state is the normal “operating”...
Destination RSD Stick Section Modbus ID – The Modbus ID of the destination RSD Stick, or the Modbus ID of the Gateway (default 247) for the local digital outputs. Relay Channel – Select the relay or digital output channel to switch Current Relay State –...
Example Line 1 has been configured with a source data node as a Sentinel-Analog with the loop current (in μA) as the selected register. The relay will energize when the loop current is above 1400μA (14mA) and de-energize when the loop current is below 1300μA (13mA).
Options There are two check boxes for additional logic options. Failsafe Enabled – If this option is selected all rules must have valid data for the relay to be energized. If one or more of the nodes times-out or does not exist the relay will be de-energized. If this option is not selected, then a node that is not installed or fails to check in will be ignored and the relay will be energized using logic only from the units that are active.
Modbus Register Remapping The gateway allows any of the remote register data to be remapped to a single block of registers available at the Gateway’s Modbus ID (default is 247). This is useful for collecting a subset of register data from multiple nodes and making it readable in a single block of registers.
Use Data Type Floats The Gateway’s Modbus Register Remapping provides an option to remap all registers to 32-bit floats. This allows the user to enter a register and its data type knowing that it will be read from the gateway via Modbus as two 16-bit registers. To use the floating-point remapping, select the ‘Use Data Type Float’...
Fail Mode If the gateway does not have data for a remapped value it will respond with 0xFFFF, or 0x0000 for the register request, this is configurable globally with the Fail Mode settings. Modbus ID 21 isn't reporting in, fail mode set to "high" Load/Save Files The displayed remap information can be saved to a proprietary file by clicking the ‘Save to File’...
Output Modules With the purchase of a SignalFire Analog Output Module or Digital Output Module, the Gateway can directly control analog (4-20mA, 1-5V) and digital outputs. The outputs for the module can be controlled through the “Analog/Relay Output Module” window under the Settings menu. Further information on the modules can be found in their respective manuals.
Gateway Event Log Starting with Gateway Firmware version 7.81 the Gateway keeps an internal log of events. The event log can be viewed from the gateway window of the ToolKit by clicking ‘View Gateway Log’ at the bottom of the window. The gateway log events such as reboots, remote nodes joining/timing out, local RSD control events, remote configuration sessions, firmware updates, and more.
Modbus Gateway Register Map The SignalFire Modbus Gateway by default is assigned Modbus ID number 247. Only the Gateway status/configuration and remapped registers are read at this address. All remote node registers are read from the Modbus ID and register address of the remote node unless Modbus register remapping is used.
