MGate 5105-MB-EIP
MGate Manager Configuration
3-13
Modbus RTU/ASCII Settings
According to the Modbus RTU/ASCII settings, the MGate 5105-MB-EIP will act as a Modbus master or Modbus
slave in order to communicate with your Modbus RTU/ASCII devices. For Slave mode, the MGate acts as a slave
and waits for the incoming connection from the Modbus master. In this mode, you only need to specify the
slave ID for the MGate gateway. For Master mode, the MGate works as a master and will try to send Modbus
commands to the Modbus slave devices, so you will need to specify the slave device IDs and the relative
Modbus commands.
Slave Mode Settings
You will need to specify which Modbus protocols will run in Slave mode. The MGate 5105-MB-EIP supports
Modbus RTU and Modbus ASCII protocols in Slave mode.
