MGate 5118 Introduction
1-2
Overview
The MGate 5118 industrial protocol gateway series supports the SAE J1939 protocol, which is based on CAN bus
(Controller Area Network). SAE J1939 is used to implement communication and diagnostics among vehicle
components, diesel engine generators, and compression engines, and it is suitable for the heavy-duty truck
industry and backup power systems. It is now common to use an engine control unit (ECU) to control these
kinds of devices, and more and more applications are using PLCs for process automation to monitor the status
of J1939 devices connected to an ECU.
The MGate 5118 gateway series supports the Modbus RTU/ASCII/ TCP, EtherNet/IP, and PROFINET protocols
to support most PLC applications. Devices that support the J1939 protocol can be monitored and controlled by
PLCs and SCADA systems that use the Modbus RTU/ASCII/TCP, EtherNet/IP, and PROFINET protocols. With
regard to the MGate 5118 series, you can use the same gateway model in a variety of PLC environments.
The MGate 5118 gateway series supports a web console for easy configuration and maintenance, and the
built-in traffic monitor function monitors J1939 protocol traffic, allowing users to monitor the status of
connected CAN devices, including error count, packet count, and bus-offline. The traffic monitor function can
also be used to troubleshoot CAN devices. The diagnostics tool helps users to check CAN device settings and
indicates CAN device availability by reading the J1939 network address. In addition, the MGate 5118 gateway
series has a built-in Live List function for when two or more J1939 devices are connected to the same CAN bus.
This function shows the PGN and address of packets transmitted from each device, giving users the ability to
gauge the loading of the CAN bus.
To detect loose cables, the MGate 5118 gateway series supports status monitoring and fault protection
functions. The status monitoring function notifies a PLC when the cable between the gateway and CAN device
is loose. In addition, the fault protection function executes actions predefined by the user when the cable
between the gateway and CAN device is loose.
Windows-Based Utility and Web Console for Easy Setup
A Windows-based utility is provided to make it easy to search for and locate devices, assign IP addresses,
import/export configuration files, and upgrade the the MGate 5118’s firmware. The utility automatically
connects to all available MGate 5118 units on the local area network (LAN). A user-friendly web console is
provided to configure the device from a web browser.

Connecting the Power
The unit can be powered by connecting a power source to the terminal block.
1. The unit can be powered by connecting a power source to the terminal block.
2. The power input range is from 12 to 48 VDC.
To remove the wire from the terminal block, use a flathead screwdriver to push the orange slot next to the
terminal block hole, and then pull the wire out.
Note that the unit does not have an on/off switch. It automatically turns on when it receives power. The PWR
LED on the front panel will glow to indicate that the unit is receiving power. There are two DC power inputs for
redundancy.
Connecting Serial Devices
The unit’s serial port(s) are located on the front panel. If you are connecting an RS-485 multidrop network with
multiple devices, note the following:
•All devices that are connected to a single serial port must use the same protocol (i.e., either Modbus RTU
or Modbus ASCII).
•Each master device must connect to its own port on the unit. If you are connecting to a network with both
master and slave devices, the master must be connected to a separate port from the slaves.
•For the CAN port, plug CAN_L and CAN_H into the terminal block. If another device is connected to the
same CAN bus, use the Ext_CAN_L and Ext_CAN_H as extension pins
For serial port pin assignments, refer to the Pin Assignments section.
RS-485 Termination and Pull High/Low Resistors
In some critical RS-485 environments, you may need to add termination resistors to prevent the reflection of
serial signals. When using termination resistors, it is important to set the pull high/low resistors correctly so
that the electrical signal is not corrupted. For each serial port, DIP switches or jumper settings are used to set
the pull high/low resistor values. A built-in 120 Ω termination resistor can also be enabled.
To modify the termination and pull high/low resistor settings, refer to the hardware reference chapter for your
model.
ATTENTION
Do not use the 1 KΩ pull high/low setting on the MGate
5118 when using the RS-
232 interface. Doing so will
degrade the RS
-232 signals and reduce the effective communication distance.
Connecting to a Host or the Network
Two 10/100BaseT Ethernet ports are located on the gateway’s back panel. These ports are used to connect the
unit to a host or Ethernet network, as follows:
•For normal operation, use a standard straight-through Ethernet cable to connect the unit to your Modbus
TCP, EtherNet/IP, or PROFINET network.
•For initial configuration or for troubleshooting purposes, you may connect the unit directly to a PC.
The unit’s Link LED will light up to indicate a live Ethernet connection.

Installing the Software (Optional)
The Device Search Utility (DSU) can be installed from the Documentation and software CD. The DSU can be
used to connect the MGate with the PC. Follow the onscreen instructions after inserting the CD. For additional
details, refer to Chapter 3: Device Search Utility.
Wiring Requirements
ATTENTION
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your
MGate 5118.
Wiring Caution!
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes
dictating the maximum allowed current for each wire size.
If the current goes over the allowed maximum, the wiring could overheat, causing serious dama
ge to your
equipment.
Temperature Caution!
Be careful when handling the
MGate 5118. When plugged in, the MGate 5118
’s internal components generate
heat, and consequently the board may be too hot to touch.
You should also observe the following common wiring rules:
•Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring paths must
cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the point of intersection.
NOTE
Do not run signal or communication wiring and power wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid interference,
wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately.
•You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept separate.
The rule of thumb is that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.
•Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.
•When necessary, we strongly advise labeling wiring to all devices in the system.

Adjustable Pull High/Low Resistors for the
Serial Port
In some critical environments, you may need to add termination resistors to prevent the reflection of serial
signals. When using termination resistors, it is important to set the pull high/low resistors correctly so that the
electrical signal is not corrupted. The MGate 5118 uses DIP switches to set the pull high/low resistor values for
each serial port. Undo the screws and find the DIP switches located at the back side of the PCB.
To add a 120 Ω termination resistor, set switch 3 on the port’s assigned DIP switch to ON; set switch 3 to
OFF (the default setting) to disable the termination resistor.
To set the pull high/low resistors to 150 KΩ, set switches 1 and 2 on the port’s assigned DIP switch to OFF.
This is the default setting.
To set the pull high/low resistors to 1 KΩ, set switches 1 and 2 on the port’s assigned DIP switch to ON.
ATTENTION
Do not use the 1 KΩ pull high/low setting on the MGate
5118 when using the RS-
232 interface. Doing so will
degrade the RS
-232 signals and reduce the effective communication distance.

microSD Card
The MGate 5118 gateway series is equipped with a microSD card slot for easy configuration. The microSD card
can be used to store an MGate’s system configuration settings and the MGate’s system log. In addition, a
configuration stored on a microSD card can be uploaded automatically to an MGate.
NOTE
Inserting a microSD card into an MGate’s microSD slot results in one of two actions, depending on what kind of
data is currently stored on the card:
1.
If the microSD card contains a valid configuration file, the configurati
on will be automatically copied to the
MGate.
2.
If the microSD card does not contain a valid configuration file (e.g., if it’s empty), the MGate’s configuration
will be copied to the microSD card.
Backing Up a Configuration
Use the following procedure to copy the configuration of an MGate gateway to a microSD card:
1. Use a PC to format the microSD card to support FAT file systems and delete all of the data on the card.
2. Power off the MGate and insert the microSD card (make sure the microSD card is empty).
3. Power on the MGate. The current settings will be copied to the microSD card.
4. If you modify the MGate’s configuration using MGate Manager or the Web Console while the microSD card
is installed in the gateway, your configuration changes will be automatically saved to the microSD card when
you save the configuration.
Configuring an MGate (Mass deployment/Replacement)
Use the following procedure to copy the configuration stored on a microSD card to an MGate gateway for mass
deployment or to replace a faulty unit:
1. Power off the MGate device (often a new device) and insert the microSD card.
2. Power on the MGate device.

MGate 5118 Getting Started
2-10
3. The configuration file stored on the microSD card will be copied automatically to the MGate gateway.
microSD card Write Failure
The following events will cause the microSD card to experience a write failure.
1. The microSD card has less than 20 MB of free space.
2. The MGate configuration file is read-only.
3. The microSD card’s file system is corrupted.
4. The microSD card is damaged.
The MGate gateway will halt the write action if any of the above conditions exists. The MGate’s Ready LED will
flash and the beeper will sound to inform the user of the write failure. If you are replacing the microSD card, the
microSD card will be synchronized with the configurations stored on the MGate device. Note that the microSD
card should not contain any configuration files; otherwise, the configuration will be copied from the microSD
card to the MGate device.
WARNING
If your intention is to back up the configuration of an MGate gateway, it is best practice to
only insert an
empty microSD card
into the microSD slot. If the card contains a valid configuration file, that configuration
will automatically (without warning) overwrite the MGate’s current configuration.
Quick Setup
The MGate series now provides Quick Setup, an illustrated guide especially designed to make the configuration
easy. When you press Quick Setup, you will access the mode and start to configure. Only five steps are needed.
Step 1: System Setting
First, configure the Server Settings to identify the units and Network Settings of the MGate.

MGate 5118 Getting Started

Step 2: Select Protocol
Then, you have to select the protocols used on your devices that are connected through the MGate. After
selection, the MGate will automatically change its role to the correct one. For example, if the device is set as a
Modbus RTU Master, the MGate will then automatically configure as a Modbus RTU slave by itself. Regarding
protocol configuration, please refer to chapter 4.
Step 3 and 4: Role 1 and Role 2 of MGate 5118
Example:
After finishing the device protocol selection, Role 1 and Role 2 of the MGate will be set accordingly. You will
need to configure the details on each side with the following steps. Here is an example of Role 1 as a Modbus
TCP Server, and Role 2 as a J1939 device.
