    1. Overview file:///C:/AAA_CSI/Literature/2015 User Guides/BB2-6010 User Guide/... How to Use This Guide This user guide provides background information on how the gateway works, and an overview of the configuration process. There are several sections for groups of tabs found in the web interface in the gateway which is accessed by opening a web browser and browsing to the IP address of the device.

  • Page 3: Important Safety Notice

    By using ANY Control Solutions, Inc., product, the user has agreed to assume all risk and responsibility for proper system design as well as any consequence for improper system design.
  • Page 4 2. Connecting the Gateway for the First Time file:///C:/AAA_CSI/Literature/2015 User Guides/BB2-6010 User Guide/... Follow these steps to make the initial connection to the BB2-6010. (a) Connect power. Babel Buster BB2-6010: Apply +12 to +24VDC or 24VAC to the terminal marked “POWER”, and common or ground the the terminal marked “GND”.
  • Page 5 2. Connecting the Gateway for the First Time file:///C:/AAA_CSI/Literature/2015 User Guides/BB2-6010 User Guide/... (b) Connect a CAT5 cable between the RJ-45 jack on the gateway, and your network switch or hub. You cannot connect directly to your PC unless you use a “crossover” cable. (c) Apply power.
  • Page 6 2. Connecting the Gateway for the First Time file:///C:/AAA_CSI/Literature/2015 User Guides/BB2-6010 User Guide/... (e) Open your browser, and enter “http://10.0.0.101/” in the address window. You should see a page with the “Babel Buster BB2-6010” header shown above (or as applicable by model). From this point, you will find help on each page in the web site contained within the product.

(h) Most changes are stored in an XML configuration file in the device’s Flash file system. Only a few are stored differently, and the IP address is one of those. Normally, clicking Update on any configuration page only stores that configuration information to a temporary RAM copy of the configuration file.
  • Page 8 3. Configuring Gateway as a Modbus RTU Master file:///C:/AAA_CSI/Literature/2015 User Guides/BB2-6010 User Guide/... The BB2-6010/SPX/SP can be a Modbus RTU master or slave. As a master you can read Modbus data from, or write Modbus data to, other Modbus slaves. The gateway will periodically poll the other Modbus devices according to register maps you set up.
  • Page 9 3. Configuring Gateway as a Modbus RTU Master file:///C:/AAA_CSI/Literature/2015 User Guides/BB2-6010 User Guide/... IMPORTANT: Set timeout to something long enough for the device. If too short, the gateway will not wait long enough for a response from the Modbus slave device, and the result will be a lot of "no response" errors from the device even though the device is perfectly functional.

  • Page 24 5. Configuring Gateway as a Modbus RTU Slave file:///C:/AAA_CSI/Literature/2015 User Guides/BB2-6010 User Guide/... The BB2-6010/SPX/SP can be a Modbus RTU master or slave. As slave, the gateway will respond to another Modbus master and return data requested. The various objects in the gateway are accessed as holding registers, with register numbers calculated and based on object type and instance.

  • Page 26 6. Configuring Gateway as a Modbus TCP Slave file:///C:/AAA_CSI/Literature/2015 User Guides/BB2-6010 User Guide/... The term “server” is often used to describe the Modbus TCP version of a Modbus slave. A server will provide data when a client asks for it. The concept of master/slave is less significant in Modbus TCP because any TCP device can be both master and slave at the same time, and there can be multiple “masters”...
  • Page 27 6. Configuring Gateway as a Modbus TCP Slave file:///C:/AAA_CSI/Literature/2015 User Guides/BB2-6010 User Guide/... 6.2 Modbus TCP Register Mapping The mappings shown below are used when the gateway is treated as a Modbus TCP slave. All local registers are accessed as holding registers. For floating point register pairs, the high order or most significant half of the data value is contained in the first (lowest numbered) holding register.
  • Page 28 By default, double registers in Control Solutions products are "big endian" meaning the most significant bytes are in the first register and least significant bytes are in the second register. If remote clients accessing this server at this IP address expect "little endian", check the swap box.

  • Page 30 7. Configuring Gateway as SNMP Server (Agent) file:///C:/AAA_CSI/Literature/2015 User Guides/BB2-6010 User Guide/... The Babel Buster BB2-6010/SPX/SP can act as an SNMP agent or server. The SNMP agent's MIB is largely preconfigured, but you do need to configure trap generation. 7.1 Local SNMP MIB The MIB as defined for the gateway is shown on the MIB View page illustrated here.

Rules defined under System :: Action Rules :: Thresholds are listed here along with options for enabling SNMP trap messages triggered by these threshold rules. Check the "Trap on..." boxes to turn on traps to the groups checked on the right.
  • Page 33 7. Configuring Gateway as SNMP Server (Agent) file:///C:/AAA_CSI/Literature/2015 User Guides/BB2-6010 User Guide/... 7.5 Testing the SNMP Agent You can obtain a free SNMP Browser tool called ManageEngine from Zoho Corp. by visiting www.manageengine.com. Using ManageEngine, you can perform SNMP Gets and Sets on your gateway. Start by downloading and installing ManageEngine MibBrowser.
  • Page 34 7. Configuring Gateway as SNMP Server (Agent) file:///C:/AAA_CSI/Literature/2015 User Guides/BB2-6010 User Guide/... Assuming you have successfully loaded the MIBs, select "dataFloatRegister" to Get a floating point register (register pairs starting at 1001), or select "dataIntRegister" to Get an integer register (in the range of 1-999).
  • Page 35 7. Configuring Gateway as SNMP Server (Agent) file:///C:/AAA_CSI/Literature/2015 User Guides/BB2-6010 User Guide/... You can also test the gateway's generation of SNMP traps using ManageEngine's trap viewer. Select "Trap Viewer" under the View menu. After receipt of a trap, the Trap Viewer window looks something like this: To get traps to be viewed on your PC, you need to go into the Windows firewall and allow SNMP traps.
  • Page 36 7. Configuring Gateway as SNMP Server (Agent) file:///C:/AAA_CSI/Literature/2015 User Guides/BB2-6010 User Guide/... Enable one of your threshold rules for trap generation as shown here: If your gateway is polling a device to obtain register data, cause your device to produce data that will result in a trap.
  • Page 37 7. Configuring Gateway as SNMP Server (Agent) file:///C:/AAA_CSI/Literature/2015 User Guides/BB2-6010 User Guide/... In our example, clicking Update above produced the trap shown in the Trap Viewer window above.

  • Page 40 8. Configuring Gateway as an SNMP Client file:///C:/AAA_CSI/Literature/2015 User Guides/BB2-6010 User Guide/... The Babel Buster BB2-6010/SPX (but not SP) has the ability to be an SNMP client. In “master/slave” terms, this would be the master. Configuring the SNMP client starts with defining one or more SNMP devices that will be queried.

  • Page 55 10. Trouble Shooting file:///C:/AAA_CSI/Literature/2021 User Guides/BB2-6010 User Guid... To get started, you must enable some maps. Enter a number greater than zero in the # RTU Read Maps Enabled window at the bottom of the expanded view page (below) and click Update. Next, select a register type, a register number, a unit # (aka slave ID or slave address), and a local register number to store the data in.
  • Page 56 10. Trouble Shooting file:///C:/AAA_CSI/Literature/2021 User Guides/BB2-6010 User Guid... If you are getting no data, check the Error Codes page (below). Here we see that the "No Responses" is about equal to the "Total Messages". This means we are not getting anything back from the Modbus slave. If you are certain all of the above setup is correct, the only conclusion you (or we) can come to at this point is that there is a wiring problem, or the slave is not responding or not configured correctly.
  • Page 57 10. Trouble Shooting file:///C:/AAA_CSI/Literature/2021 User Guides/BB2-6010 User Guid... Next, go to the Click Read Map page (below) and click the "1" in the left column.

An unrecoverable error occurred (for BB2-3060 means corrupt packet Slave Device Failure was received). The slave is engaged in processing a long-duration command. The master Slave Device Busy should try again later.
  • Page 64 For this reason, many devices, including all Control Solutions gateways, support register "swapping". This means you simply check the "swapped" option (aka "High reg first" in some devices) if the other device treats wide data in the opposite order relative to Control Solutions default order.
  • Page 65 If it is not clear whether your documentation refers to register or address, and you are not getting the expected result, try plus or minus one for register number. All Control Solutions products refer to register numbers in configuration software or web pages. However, some manufacturers document their devices showing address, not register numbers.
