Serial Settings
The MGate 5119’s serial interface supports RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 interfaces. You must configure the
baudrate, parity, data bits, and stop bits before using the serial interface with Modbus RTU/ASCII or IEC
60870-5-101 or DNP3 serial protocol. Incorrect settings will cause communication failures.
Parameter Value Description
Baudrate 50 bps to 921600 bps
Parity None, Odd, Even, Mark, Space
Data bits 7,8
Stop bits 1, 2
Flow control None,
RTS/CTS,
RTS Toggle
The RTS Toggle will turn off RTS signal when there is no
data to be sent. If there is data to be sent, the RTS
toggle will turn on the RTS signal before a data
transmission and off after the transmission is completed.
FIFO Enable, Disable The internal buffer of UART. Disabling FIFO can reduce
the latency time when receiving data from serial
communications, but this will also slow down the
throughput.
Interface RS-232, RS-422,
RS-485 2-wire,
RS-485 4-wire
RTS on delay 0 to 100 ms Only available for RTS Toggle
RTS off delay 0 to 100 ms Only available for RTS Toggle
RTS Toggle
The RTS Toggle function is used for RS-232 mode only. This flow-control mechanism is achieved by
toggling the RTS pin in the transmission direction. When activated, data will be sent after the RTS pin is
toggled ON for the specified time interval. After the data transmission is finished, the RTS pin will toggle
OFF for the specified time interval.
Protocol Settings (Agent Mode)
A typical MGate 5119 application comprises a PSCADA as a client/master and a field device as a
server/slave. Both these components use different protocols and hence need a gateway in between to
exchange data. In its capacity as a gateway, the MGate acts as the server/slave when it is connected to
PSCADA and as the client/master when it is connected to a field device. Therefore, to configure an MGate,
you must:
1. Select the correct protocols in the Protocol Conversion setting.
2. Configure MGate’s Role 1 and Role 2.
NOTE
We suggest you configure the master side first and then the slave side
.
The following sections contain detailed MGate configuration instructions organized as per the above outline.

MGate 5119 Series Web Console Configuration and Troubleshooting
4-5
Protocol Settings—Protocol Conversion
The MGate 5119 brings Modbus, DNP3, and IEC 60870-5-101/104 devices to an IEC 61850 system. In the
protocol conversion setting: role 1 of the MGate 5119 is fixed to an IEC 61850 server that is connected to
an IEC 61850 client; role 2 of the MGate 5119 can be Modbus, DNP3, IEC 60870-5-101/104 master that
connects to slave devices.
For instance, if your device is a Modbus RTU slave, the device setting should be configured as a Modbus
RTU/ASCII slave; role 2 of the MGate 5119 will change to a Modbus RTU/ASCII master accordingly.
Below is the protocol combinations of the MGate 5119.
Device 1 Device 2
IEC 61850 client Modbus RTU/ASCII slave
IEC 61850 client Modbus TCP server
IEC 61850 client IEC 60870-5-101 slave
IEC 61850 client IEC 60870-5-104 server
IEC 61850 client DNP3 TCP/UDP outstation
IEC 61850 client DNP3 serial outstation
After protocol selection, we have to configure each side of MGate’s role. In a typical application, one side of
MGate will be set as a server/slave while the other side will be set as a client/master. You will find the
corresponding lists under Protocol Settings. The following configuration settings are possible:
A1. Modbus TCP Client (Master) Settings
A2. Modbus RTU/ASCII Master Settings
A3. IEC 60870-5-104 Client Settings
A4. IEC 60870-5-101 Master Settings
A5. DNP3 TCP/UDP Master Settings
A6. DNP3 Serial Master Settings
A7. IEC 61850 Server Settings

Parameter Value Default Description
Initial delay 0 to 30000
ms
0 Some Modbus slaves may take more time to boot up than other
devices. In some environments, this may cause the entire system
to suffer from repeated exceptions during the initial boot-up. After
booting up, you can force the MGate to wait before sending the
first request with the Initial Delay setting.
Max. retry 0 to 5 3 This is used to configure how many times the MGate will try to
communicate with the Modbus slave when the Modbus command
times out.
Response
timeout
10 to 120000
ms
1000 Based on the Modbus standard, the device manufacturer defines
the time taken by a slave device to respond to a request. A
Modbus master can be configured to wait a certain amount of time
for a slave’s response. If no response is received within the
specified time, the master will disregard the request and continue
operation. This allows the Modbus system to continue the
operation even if a slave device is disconnected or faulty. On the
MGate 5119, the Response timeout field is used to configure
how long the gateway will wait for a response from a Modbus
slave. Refer to your device manufacturer’s documentation to
manually set the response timeout.
