4. HARDWARE CONNECTION
4.1 Connecting Power
PMM0501 has two power supply options 10-60V DC or 10-40 V AC, the user has to connect the positive
power line (+) to pin no.5 in the top view and the negative line (-) to pin no.6 as illustrated in the pin’s assignments.
Note: the power is protected against overvoltage and reverse polarity in case of wrong connection.
4.2 Connecting a Serial Device
The unit’s serial port is located on the top panel. If you are connecting an RS485 multidrop network with
multiple devices, note the following:
1. All devices that are connected to a single serial port must use the same protocol (i.e., either Modbus RTU or
Modbus ASCII).
2. Connect the D+ with pin no.1 and D- with pin no.2 and Earth with pin no.4 as illustrated in the pin’s
assignments to complete the connection successfully.
3. Turn on the dip switch to have 120 Ω termination resistor between the D+ and D- lines. Refer hardware
configuration section.
4.3 Connecting to a Host or the Network
There is a 10/100 Ethernet port at the unit’s front panel. This port is used to connect the unit with a
host or Ethernet network.
5. TARGET APPLICATIONS
Link a serial master device with Ethernet slave devices
Many HMI (Human Machine Interface) systems use a serial interface to connect to DCS (Discrete
Control System). However, many DCSs are now Ethernet-based and operate as a Modbus TCP slave device.
PMM0501 can link serial HMI to distributed DCSs over an Ethernet network.
Let Modbus serial devices communicate over the Internet
Many Modbus devices communicate over RS-485, which limits the number of devices in a network to
32 and the transmission distance to 1.2 km. With PMM0501 Modbus gateway, you can link all Modbus
devices over an Ethernet network. Up to 32 Modbus gateways can be installed in a single control network,
so each device can now be accessed from anywhere the TCP/IP network can reach.

Serial Redirector
PMM0501 can be inserted to a serial system in which the slaves connected to one serial port and the
masters to another serial port. PMM0501 allows Ethernet master devices to connect with serial slaves and
simultaneously provides a serial redirector which allows the serial master to continue controlling the serial
slaves.
6. PMM0501 Easy Config
PMM Easy config enables the user to set PMM0501 settings easily and effortlessly and control them
any time, the user can upload the settings that the device is running by, change them as suitable then
download the updated settings on the main controller again.

6.2 Home Page
This page provides the user with the basic information about the PMM device “Ethernet -Serial Media
Converter”such as Model Name, Serial Number, Firmware Version, Current IP Address and Number of Serial
ports.
6.3 Ethernet Configuration
Ethernet configuration parameters:
IP address: it uniquely identifies each device on the network and devices use it to communicate with each
other, default IP address is set to 192.168.1.200.

www.Pmm-usa.us
Page 10 of 11
Net Mask: identifies an octet in the IP address which is part of the subnet address (network address). Using
Net Mask, we know which part of IP address the network address and which part is the host address.
Preferred DNS: to provide the IP address of a DNS server (DNS 1) so that we can use logical names on our
network.
Alternate DNS.
Gateway: To allow a host to communicate with computers on different subnets we must define the Gateway
address.
MAC Address.
UDP Port.
6.4 Serial Configuration
Serial configuration parameters:
Check the Enabled box.
Select the needed serial port to be configurator from the drop list; there are 4 serial ports.
Note: Serial 00 is the Ethernet port, and Serial 01,02,03 are the RS485 ports.
Baud Rate: The baud rate is the communication speed, which is the number of times per second a serial
communication signal changes states; a state being either a voltage level, a frequency, or a frequency phase
angle.
Data Bit: Number of bits to represent one character of data 8 (default).
Stop Bit: The stop bits are used in asynchronous communication as a means of timing or synchronizing the
data characters being transmitted.
Parity: The parity bit is to determine if the data character being transmitted is correctly received by the
remote device. Interface: Serial communication.
Interface.
Port ID (must be from 1-30).
