Introduction
Overview
The MGate EIP3000 is a line of protocol gateways that provides users with

protocol conversion between DF1 and EtherNet/IP
virtual serial port for multiple DF1 and EtherNet/IP device communications
Windows utilities for easy setup and traffic monitoring.
Protocol conversion between DF1 and EtherNet/IP
MGate™ EIP3000 series products can be used to connect DF1 devices and EtherNet/IP devices to
provide Allen Bradley PLCs with remote maintenance capability. By supporting PCCC objects on
CIP, the MGate™ EIP3000 can communicate seamlessly with Rockwell Ethernet devices. The
EIP3000 protocol gateways come with either 1 or 2 serial ports to allow users to select a suitable
gateway depending on the size of the network.
ProCOM function for multiple DF1 and EtherNet/IP device communications
Each MGate™ EIP3000 gateway supports a virtual serial port. A remote PC uses a Moxa-provided
ProCOM function to connect to the EIP3000’s virtual serial port. RSLinx and SCADA systems can
use the virtual COM port to communicate with an EIP3000 gateway. The virtual serial port function
gives RSLinx or some SCADA systems the capability to connect to multiple DF1 and EtherNet/IP
devices through a protocol gateway.
Windows utilities for easy setup and traffic monitoring
A Windows utility is provided to make configuration and operation of the MGate EIP3000 as easy as
possible. The utility automatically connects to all available MGate EIP3000 units on the LAN for
you. Traffic monitoring functions help you troubleshoot the communication problems between DF1
and EtherNet/IP protocols by tracking items such as connection status and address translation errors.

Getting Started
Connecting Power
The unit can be powered using the AC adaptor or by connecting a power source to the terminal block,
depending on the model. The following instructions are for the AC adaptor:
1. Plug the connector of the power adapter into the DC-IN jack on the back of the unit.
2. Plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet.
3. Follow these instructions to connect a power source to the terminal block:
4. Loosen or remove the screws on the terminal block.
5. Connect the 12–48 VDC power line to the terminal block.
6. Tighten the connections using the screws on the terminal block.
Note that the unit does not have an on/off switch. It automatically turns on when it receives power.
The PWR LED on the top panel will glow to indicate that the unit is receiving power.
For power terminal block pin assignments, please refer to the hardware reference chapter for your
model.
Connecting Serial Devices
The unit’s serial port(s) are located on the back panel. There are two options for connecting serial
devices, depending on the serial interface:
y
y
You may use a DB9-to-DB9 cable to connect a serial device to the unit. Plug one end of the
cable into the port on the unit’s back panel and plug the other end of the cable into the device’s
serial port.
You may make your own customized serial cable to connect a serial device to the unit. For the pin
assignments of the unit’s serial port, please refer to Chapter 6. This information can then be used
to construct your own serial cable.
For serial port pin assignments, please refer to the hardware reference chapter for your model.
Connecting to a Host or the Network
A 10/100BaseT Ethernet port is located on the unit’s front panel. This port is used for the unit’s
connection to a host or Ethernet network, as follows:
y
For normal operation, use a standard straight-through Ethernet cable to connect the unit to your
EtherNet/IP network.
y
For initial configuration or for troubleshooting purposes, you may connect the unit directly to a
PC. In this case, use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect the unit to your PC’s Ethernet
connector.
The unit’s Link LED will light up to indicate a live Ethernet connection.
One Ethernet port can be used to connect to the network, and the other port can be used to connect to
another Ethernet device.

ATTENTION
Use “Default Language” before contacting Moxa Technical Support.
With support for multiple languages, MGate Manager is more user-friendly and accessible.
However, if you need assistance from Moxa Technical Support, please change the language to
“Default Language”. This will prevent any misunderstandings or confusion about MGate Manager
menu items and commands as our engineers assist you.
The default language is English and will only be active for the current MGate Manager session.
When you open MGate Manager again, the language will revert to your original setting.
Connecting to the Unit
MGate Manager needs to connect to the unit before the unit can be configured. There are two
methods to connect to the unit. Broadcast Search is used to find every MGate EIP3000 on the LAN.
Search by IP attempts to connect to a specific unit by IP address, which is useful if the unit is
located outside the LAN or can only be accessed by going through a router.
Broadcast Search
Click Broadcast Search to begin searching the LAN for all MGate EIP3000 units.

If the search is successful, the unit will be listed in MGate Manager. Click the unit to begin
configuration.
ATTENTION
If Search by IPAddress fails to locate the MGate EIP3000, the IP address that you entered might
be incorrect. Try doing the search again and re-entering the IP address carefully.
Another possibility is that the MGate EIP3000 is located on the same LAN as your PC, but on a
different subnet. In this case, you can modify your PC’s IP address and or netmask so that it is on
the same subnet as the MGate EIP3000. After your PC and the MGate EIP3000 are on the same
subnet, MGate Manager should be able to find the unit.
Modifying the Configuration
Once your unit is displayed in MGate Manager, select it by clicking on it. The Configuration button
will become available. Click Configuration to open the configuration window.

MGate EIP3000 Series User’s Manual
Configuring the EtherNet/IP Gateway
Set up Routing and ProCOM function
The definitions of the Routing tab determine how requests will be routed by the unit.
How to set Routing on the MGate EIP3000
The MGate EIP3000 decides where to forward the received requests according to its internal routing
rules. The internal routing rules are set on the Routing page. Two kinds of routing rules can be used.
The first one is forwarding each received request according to its DST. DST is the destination
address of each request in PCCC protocol (DF1 application protocol). You must set up the DST of
each target device first, so that the EIP3000 knows which target device to forward the request to. On
the Routing page, this information is shown in the table on the bottom half of the page. In this table,
the DF1 devices connected to EIP3000 (via serial port or ProCOM) are added automatically and
assigned a default DST (EIP3170:PORT1=1, ProCOM =2, 3, 4, 5; EIP3270:PORT1=1, PORT2=2,
ProCOM =3, 4, 5, 6). If you would like to connect to an EIP interface (EtherNet/IP) device, you must
configure the relationship between “Node DST” and “Target Node IP” of the EIP interface device
manually.
Another routing rule is static link, which ignores the DST and directly forwards all the requests sent
from a specified source device to the defined target device. You can set the source device and target
device mapping on the upper half of the page.
The complete routing table is shown on the upper half of the page. This table shows which rule (by
DST or static link) is used on the requests from a specified source. The default setting for EIP3270 is
static link of PORT1 to PORT2, PORT2 to PORT1, PORT3(ProCOM) to PORT1, PORT4(ProCOM)
to PORT2, PORT5(ProCOM) to PORT1, PORT6(ProCOM) to PORT2 and all EIP devices connect
from IP1 and forward to PORT1, and all EIP devices connect from IP2 and forward to PORT2. Of
course, you could use the DST rule instead of the static link rule by changing the setting manually.
Notice that the EIP device can only use the static link rule since there is no DST in the EIP requests.

What is ProCOM?
ProCOM is Moxa’s proprietary function which provides a virtual COM port for flexible DF1 and
EtherNet/IP communication. This is an intelligent function of the Fieldbus gateway that translates
the data to the correct destination through DF1 protocol.
How to set ProCOM on the MGate EIP3000
ProCOM is your best solution if your system requires using a remote PC that only supports DF1
protocol to control remote DF1 devices. It requires that your PC have a virtual COM port that
supports DF1 protocol to connect to the EIP3000 via the network. With ProCOM, the EIP3000 will
treat the COM port on your PC as if it were an additional serial port on the EIP3000. Before using
this powerful function, you must complete ProCOM mapping.
After finding the EIP3000 with the search function, select the EIP3000 device for which you want to
set ProCOM for and then click ProCOM Mapping to enter the mapping page. Please refer to the
above figures.
On the ProCOM mapping page, you can map up to 4 ProCOM functions to your PC’s COM port.
The driver will generate a virtual COM port on your PC and connect to the selected EIP3000 over
the network. This means that when you send a DF1 request to ProCOM, the driver will forward your
request to the EIP3000. Then the EIP3000 will forward your request to the target DF1 device
according to the pre-set routing table. Similarly, when the EIP3000 receives the response from the

target DF1 device, it will forward the response to ProCOM and then the application running on your
PC will receive the response.
Set up Protocol
You can configure the options for DF1, EtherNet/IP, and CIP protocol. Response Time-out defines
how much time the EIP3000 needs to wait for a response after sending a PCCC command to a
DF1/EIP device. We strongly suggest that the value should be greater than ACK timeout, since it
requires at least double the timeout values of DF1 ACK after the EIP3000 forwards a PCCC
command and before it gets a response.
ACK timeout for DF1 settings defines how much time the EIP3000 needs to wait for an ACK after
sending a DF1 message to a DF1 device. DF1 messaging supports CRC16 and BCC as the method of
frame error checking.
The EIP settings define how to send a CIP message as the EIP3000 is an EIP client. The EIP3000
uses connected CIP messages as default. If your EIP device only supports unconnected messages,
you can change this setting accordingly.

Set Up Miscellaneous
This page defines all other options that can not be classified. Currently, this page defines “Auto
Relay Warning”, “Reset Button Protect” and “Telnet Console”. The auto relay warning includes
power failure, Ethernet 1 or 2 links down to trigger relay warning. If any checked trigger condition
occurs, the EIP3000 will open the circuit of the relay output and trigger the Fault LED to start
blinking. Otherwise, the EIP3000 will short circuit the relay output.

Verifying Location of Unit
If you are managing multiple MGate units, you may wonder if you are configuring the correct unit in
MGate Manager. You can select a unit in MGate Manager and click Locate to make that unit’s
“Ready” LED blink for a few seconds. This will tell you which physical unit corresponds with the
unit that you selected.
Monitoring EtherNet/IP Activity
For troubleshooting or management purposes, you can monitor the data passing through any MGate
EIP3000 on the network. Data events will be logged as they pass through the gateway. Rather than
simply echoing the data, MGate Manager presents the data in an intelligent, easily-understood
format, with clearly designated fields including source, type, destination, contents, and more. Events
can be filtered in different ways, and the complete log can be saved to a file for later analysis.
