POWER LEADER™ Ethernet Gateway
Chapter 4 – Operation
Chapter 4 – Operation
The Ethernet Gateway, once properly configured, requires no user intervention for operation.
During normal operation, the Ethernet Gateway passes messages to and from the attached Modbus devices and translates these messages between the Ethernet and Modbus RTU protocols.
Should power to the Ethernet Gateway be inter- rupted, communications between the host and the RS485 networks will resume automatically and immediately when power is restored.
Likewise, if the Ethernet connection or any of the RS485 connections are broken, communications will be immediately resumed when the connections are restored.
Any errors encountered by the Ethernet Gateway will result in a message being sent back to the host, where it will be interpreted and displayed for correc- tive action by the operator.
All processing error messages are sent to the RS232 port. Processing error messages are listed in Section
