460 Gateway User Manual Page 1
Chapter 1 Introduction
The 460 Gateway lets you control how to manipulate and control data, moving it bi-directionally
across devices with different protocols. Trusted legacy devices can now be connected to a variety
of networks using 460 Gateways. For example, PLCs (including the Twido™ PLC from
Schneider Electric), building managements systems, and energy management devices can
communicate with scales, drives, barcode readers, and sensors of every type. See Figure 1-1
below.
The 460 Gateways are easy to configure using an embedded web page from which you enter the
appropriate network addresses and then define the groups of registers to send/receive data and
the order in which the data is received.

The 460 Gateway parts
The 460 Gateway contains the following parts.
•The 460 Gateway unit
•Power cable
•DIN rail mounting
•Crossover cable to connect a personal computer to the Gateway unit during the initial
setup (or to change settings)
•Null modem cable (two female connectors) to use during debugging, if necessary
•A CD with the user manuals and utilities
Additional required equipment
You need to connect a personal computer to the 460 Gateway just during the initial software
setup or if you need to change settings because of a device change.
You must supply the cables to use for communications after the setup is complete.

460 Gateway User Manual Page 4
Chapter 2 Installing the 460 Gateway
Before the 460 Gateway can transfer data, you need to do the following tasks:
•Optionally set jumper switches for RS232, RS485, or CAN operations on the ports (460
EDX only)
•Connect a personal computer, temporarily, to the 460 Gateway in order to complete the
software setup
•Make software selections for the Gateway
oAfter the computer is connected, configure the Communication Modules, starting
on page 8.
oWhen all the necessary Communication Modules are configured, continue with
Editing the 460 Gateway Network Settings on page 50.
oWhen you have finished setting up or making any desired changes to the 460
Gateway’s configuration, continue with Making Settings Take Effect on page 52.
•Install the Gateway hardware
In addition to these tasks, you may need to make some additional changes on the devices to
which you are connecting the 460 Gateway. For example, if you are connecting to a PLC, you
should define tags for sending and receiving data and define ladder logic to clear the data after
the PLC receives data via the 460 Gateway. Other devices may require similar tasks.
Setting jumpers
Note: Skip this section unless you have a 460 EDX Gateway and want Port 0 or Port 1 to
change from the current settings. The factory default port settings on the 460 EDX
Gateway are for Port 0 to be set for RS485 and Port 1 to be set for RS232.
Most 460 Gateways are shipped with port settings already configured. In these cases, please skip
this section and continue on with the following section, Connecting a computer for software
setup on page 5.However, if you have a 460 EDX Gateway, you may want to change these port
settings. Other 460 Gateways cannot be modified to change the port settings. The default
port settings on the 460 EDX Gateway are for Port 0 to be set for RS485 and Port 1 to be set for
RS232. However, you can modify a port to use CAN (or return a port setting to RS 232 or
RS485) by changing the jumpers on the Gateway unit. If you are satisfied with the port settings,
skip this section and continue with the following section. Both ports cannot be set for the same
type of communications.

Default IP Address – 192.168.0.100
460 Gateway User Manual Page 5
Note: Only one RS232, RS485, or CAN port setting can be active per unit. For example, a
unit cannot have two ports set for RS232 or two ports set for CAN.
To change port settings on the 460 EDX Gateway, use the following steps.
1. No cables should be connected to the Gateway unit. If this unit has been in use and you
are making a change, disconnect the power cable and any communications cables from
the Gateway unit.
2. Remove the two small Phillips-head screws from each long side (no connectors) of the
Gateway unit.
3. Remove the green T-Strip5 connector. Slide the cover off towards the ports. The jumpers
are just behind the ports.
4. Move the jumper shunts to reflect the desired settings. See Figure 2-1.

5. Replace the Gateway unit’s cover. Replace the four screws. Replace the green T-Strip5
connector.
Connecting a computer for software setup
Before performing the initial software setup, you must connect a computer with a web browser to
the 460 Gateway. Use the following steps to connect the computer and to access the embedded
web site where you make your software selections.
1. Connect one end of the Ethernet crossover cable to the 460 Gateway and the other end to
the RJ45 connector on your computer.
