Reset Button
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 (approximately five seconds).
Hardware Installation Procedure
- Connect the power adapter. Connect the 12-48 VDC power line or DIN-rail power supply to the MGate 5192’s terminal block.
- Use an Ethernet cable to connect the MGate to the IEC61850 server(s).
- Use an Ethernet or serial cable to connect the MGate to the Modbus TCP/RTU/ASCII, DNP3 TCP/serial, IEC60870-5-101, or IEC60870-5104 client.
- The MGate 5192 is designed to be attached 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-mounting kit (optional) first and then screw the device onto the wall.
When wiring the relay contact (R) and power inputs (P1/P2), we suggest using American Wire Gauge (AWG) 16 to 20 as a cable and the corresponding pin-type cable terminals. We recommend the stripping length to be 8 to 9 mm. The wire temperature rating should be at least 85°C. Use copper conductors only. The shielding ground screw (M4) is near the power connector. When you connect the shielded ground wire (min. 16 AWG), the noise is routed from the metal chassis to the ground.
The following figure illustrates the two mounting options:Wall or Cabinet Mounting
We provide two metal plates to mount 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 the 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
For using the DSU, refer to the User’s Manual. The MGate 5192 also supports login via a web browser.
