INTRODUCTION 1.1 Purpose of the manual This manual provides the instructions for easy and quick installing and operating of the EGW1-IA3-MB. The manual starts with a general description of the product, following the instructions for the correct hardware installation. Configuration and operation of the device is detailed below.
INSTALLATION Connecting the power supply EGW1-IA3-MB allows a power supply from +10 to 30 V . Positive power supply must be connected to terminal N° 5 or N° 17 (depending on the model) and negative power supply to terminal No. 6 or No. 18...
To connect the device RS232 serial port to PC serial port or any other serial device, it must be connected as can be shown in the following figure. You should consider EGW1-IA3-MB is a DTE device, which means it must cross wire with those of the PC.
RS485, the following connection must be made for correct operation: LEDs Indicators EGW1-IA3-MB has two LEDs indicators on the Ethernet connector, one green and one yellow. The yellow one shows the connection to the network, while the green one indicates the status of incoming and outgoing TCP connections.
EGW1-IA3-MB configuration is done through a configuration web page connecting the device to the Ethernet network on which it is going to work. To access to the configuration web page, you must connect EGW1-IA3-MB to Ethernet network and Exemys Device Locator install software.
Appendix A. Configuration webpage Once the EGW1-IA3-MB has a valid IP address, you can access the web page to configure the other parameters (If your web browser is configured to search for a proxy server, disable this option)
EGW1-IA3-MB User’s Manual Exemys OPERATION MODES When you enter the EGW1-IA3-MB configuration web page, you can configure the device to use it in one of the following modes: Modbus TCP to Modbus Serial In this operation mode, the device role is translating “incoming” queries over the Ethernet interface in Modbus TCP mode and sends them as "outgoing"...
Device can receive up to 16 simultaneous incoming connections on Modbus TCP. 4.1.1 ENRON From the firmware version 2.1, the EGW1-IA3-MB is added the feature conversion Modbus TCP to Modbus ENRON. This feature allows you to connect a Modbus Master, for example a SCADA, to a Modbus ENRON slave, without needing to use the ENRON driver.
EGW1-IA3-MB User’s Manual Exemys For more details and examples about Slave ENRON Modbus, see Appendix E. Modbus Serial to Modbus TCP In this operation mode, the device role is translating “incoming” queries through Serial interface in Modbus Serial mode and sends them as "outgoing" queries to the Ethernet interface in Modbus TCP mode.
You can enable or disable the "Exceptions" parameter, which enables the EGW1-IA3-MB to respond or not to exceptions in case of communication errors. If the option is disabled the EGW1-IA3-MB will remain silent before the errors, otherwise it will return an exception code: ...
In this operation mode, EGW1-IA3-MB behaves like a serial server in TCP Server Mode. In this mode the EGW1-IA3-MB will be listening and waiting for a client to establish a TCP connection. Once this connection is established, all data received on the Ethernet interface will be transmitted to the serial port and vice versa transparently, functioning as a TCP to RS-232 / RS-485 / RS-422 converter and vice versa.
EGW1-IA3-MB User’s Manual Exemys Parameter common to all Modes The following parameters can be configured in the device serial port: Parameter Options RS-232/RS-485 COM Type RS-232 - RS-485/RS-422 Baud Rate 300 to 115200 bps Data Bits ASCII (7 - 8) / RTU (8)
EGW1-IA3-MB User’s Manual Exemys 4.4.1 Modbus write commands protection This feature is available since firmware 2.6 This feature will block the write commands issued by the Modbus master devices before sending them to the slaves. This will not apply to the built-in digital I/Os.
EGW1-IA3-MB User’s Manual Exemys 4.4.2 RTS terminal control (for serial radio modems) This feature is available since firmware 2.7 This feature allows the EGW1-MB-1C0-10C-IA3-IS and EGW1-MB-1C0-00-IA3-IS, to control the RTS terminal to control serial radio modems. To enable it, go to Port A web page and configure the RTS terminal logic, the time to wait to send the data after turning the terminal ON, and the time to hold the terminal ON after sending the data.
EGW1-IA3-MB User’s Manual Exemys ADVANCED USAGE MODES 5.1 Modbus Multiplexer, TCP to Serial and Modbus Serial to Serial In this advanced usage mode, the EGW1-4B0-00-IA3-MB, solves the problem of having a serial slave being interrogated by a Serial Master (Modbus Serial-Serial) and a remote master, through Modbus TCP (Modbus TCP-Serial).
EGW1-IA3-MB User’s Manual Exemys Combination: Modbus Serial-TCP and Modbus TCP-Serial In this advanced usage mode, it is shown how the EGW1-4B0-00-IA3-MB can solve through its multiple ports the combinations of Modbus Serial-TCP and Modbus TCP-Serial. This means that each device port can be used in the way that the user needs.
Transparent Mode - Connection with Serial Port Redirector When using the EGW1-IA3-MB to replace a RS-232 connection between a PC and a device, you may need to install a Serial Port Redirector on your computer. This software will create a virtual COM port on your computer to use an existing software as if you were connected to the device using a physical COM port.
This mode can be used together with the other EGW1-IA3-MB functions. Exchange registersare from 40001 to 41000 (Holding Registers). Input / Output ID number and Factory Default Memory is 240. It can be modified through the Advanced section.
Exemys MONITORING AND STATISTICS EGW1-IA3-MB has a traffic control of the data that itself sends and receives. This data is shownon its web page in the Monitoring menu. Here you can see the status of the connections and different data counters sent and received.

EGW1-IA3-MB User’s Manual Exemys Inputs / Outputs / Internal Memory: Number of queries received through the input interface to be monitored and are to read or write Inputs / Outputs and / or Internal Memory. Total: The total amount of the number of queries received through the selected input interface.
EGW1-IA3-MB will assume that packet has not yet been terminated. After this maximum time, the EGW1-IA3-MB will assume that the packet has finished getting. The time is in units of the time of a byte, being the minimum of 3 units.

EGW1-IA3-MB will process the next one. If the option is disabled, the EGW1-IA3-MB will save only the last received message. When it has finished processing the pending message, you will process the last received message.
To delete the access key, justsave an empty password. Reset If necessary, the EGW1-IA3-MB can be restarted. In this way all your connections will be closed, and all your tasks will begin again as if it had just device energized.
Here you can also configure the read and read/write communities. You should consider that both communities cannot have the same name. This file describes the set of objects or parameters of the EGW1-IA3-MB accessible by SNMP. You can download the EGW1-MB.MIB file from www.exemys.com/documentation.
