Introduction
We provide new ways of connecting legacy serial devices to a Local Area Network (LAN)
or Wide Area Network (WAN). Modbus TCP/IP converters are designed to operate serial
ports over 100M bps Ethernet networks. The data is transmitted via Modbus TCP/IP
protocol. Therefore, control is available via Ethernet, Intranet and Internet.
EX-9133C-2-MTCP converter is packaged in a PVC material case well suited for
industrial environments. It provides two serial ports one is a RS-232 and another is
RS-422/485 (Auto-Detect). All serial ports operate in common industrial configuration.
EX-9133C-2-MTCP converter is a low-cost, high performance design. By carefully
selecting high quality with competitive prices components in the world, the products
made network connectivity possible with affordable cost for virtually all kinds of devices.
EX-9133C-2-MTCP is a full set converter device with two serial ports as one is a RS-232
port and another is a RS-422/485 (Auto-Detect) and it provides one socket connection

Low-cost devices usually are equipped with low speed processors and limited
memories. In reality, they have neither the capability nor practicality to manage
complicated network TCP/IP protocols. The ARM Cortex™-M4 32-bit processor
has been specifically developed to provide a high-performance, low-cost platform
for a broad range of applications including microcontrollers, automotive body
systems, and industrial control systems, networking by converting data stream
between network TCP/IP and popular serial port signals.
Instead of processing TCP/IP packets directly, devices need only deal with those
interface signals, which greatly simplifies the complexity of TCP/IP network in
linkage. The ARM Cortex-M4 processor provides outstanding computational
performance and exceptional system response to interrupt while meeting low cost
requirements through small core footprint, industry leading code density enabling
smaller memories, reducing pin count, and low power consumption.
The central core of ARM Cortex-M4 processor, based on a 3-stage pipeline
Harvard bus architecture, incorporates advanced features including single cycle

multiply and hardware divide to deliver an outstanding efficiency of 1.25
DMIPS/MHz. The ARM Cortex-M4 processor also implements the new
Thumb®-2 instruction set architecture, which combined with features such as
unaligned data storage and atomic bit manipulation delivers 32-bit performance at a
cost equivalent to modern 8- and 16-bit devices.

EX-9133C-2-MTCP Converter Configuration
Initial IP Configuration
When sett up your converter for the first time, the first thing you should do is to configure
the IP address. This chapter introduces the method to configure the device server’s IP
address. For more details about network settings, please see the Network Settings section
in Chapter 4, “Web Browser Configuration”.
The following topics are covered in this chapter:

Device Management Utility of EXBrowser
□
□
□
EXBrowser “View”
□

EXBrowser “Modify IP”
□

EXBrowser “Modify MAC”
Device Management Utility of EXBrowser
On PC we provide a Device Management Utility named “EXBrowser.exe” which is an
executable program in Windows 32-bit environments. EXBrowser setup tool is used to
detect and setup the installed converters. It uses UDP broadcast packets to query and
configure converters on the network.

EX-9133C-2-MTCP User Manual
EX-9133C-2-MTCP • Manual Version 1.0.1 • 201016 www.topsccc.com
Page 16
When you activate the tool, it will detect the existence of the installed converters and
depict the converters’ status such as IP address, Subnet Mask, MAC Address, and
Device ID (see Figure 4.1). The Setup Tool only can setup one converter at a time.
Thus if there are more than one converter on the network, please shut down or
disconnect other converters. Otherwise the EXBrowser.exe can not detect the converter.
Due to the nature of broadcast UDP packets, EXBrowser has following characteristics:
□
□
□Broadcast packets are not limited by subnet. Even if the IP address of the converters
and the computer running EXBrowser that do not belong to the same subnet, it still
works fine.
□
□
□Broadcast packets can not pass routers. EXBrowser can only be used to monitor
devices with computer running EXBrowser in the same segment of local area
network.
