Dimensions
Restore the MGate to factory default settings by using a pointed object (such as a straightened paper clip) to hold the reset button down until the Ready LED stops blinking (approx. five seconds).
Hardware Installation Procedure
- Connect the power adapter. Connect the 12 to 48 VDC power line or DIN-rail power supply to the terminal block of the MGate 5135/5435 device.
- Use a Modbus serial cable to connect the MGate to a Modbus slave device.
- Use an Ethernet cable to connect the MGate to the EtherNet/IP controller.
- We designed the MGate 5135/5435 to attach to a DIN rail or mounted on a wall. For DIN-rail mounting, push down the spring and properly attach it to the DIN rail until it “snaps” into place. For wall mounting, install the wall-mount kit (optional) first and then screw the device onto the wall.
The following figure illustrates the two mounting options:
Wall- or Cabinet-mounting
We provide two metal plates for mounting the unit on a wall or inside a cabinet. Attach the plates to the unit’s rear panel with screws. With the plates attached, use screws to mount the unit on a wall. The heads of the screws should be 5 to 7 mm in diameter, the shafts should be 3 to 4 mm in diameter, and the length of the screws should be over 10.5 mm.
Software Installation Information
Please download the User Manual and Device Search Utility (DSU) from Moxa’s website: www.moxa.com Refer to the User’s Manual for additional details on using the DSU. The MGate 5135/5435 also supports login via a web browser. Default IP address: 192.168.127.254 Create your administration account and password when you log in the first time.
