MGate EIP3000 Series User’s Manual Introduction
Overview
The MGate EIP3000 is a line of protocol gateways that provides users with
y protocol conversion between DF1 and EtherNet/IP
y virtual serial port for multiple DF1 and EtherNet/IP device communications
y 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.
