Introduction

The MGate 5192 is an industrial protocol gateway for converting IEC 61850 MMS to Modbus RTU/ASCII/TCP, DNP3 serial/TCP/UDP, IEC 60870-5- 101, or IEC 60870-5-104 communications. To integrate existing IEC 61850 devices, such as IEDs or relays, into a Modbus, DNP3, IEC 101, or IEC 104 network, use the MGate 5192 as an IEC 61850 MMS client to collect and exchange data with Modbus RTU/ASCII/TCP, DNP3 serial/TCP/UDP, IEC 60870-5-101, or IEC 60870-5-104 SCADA/devices. All models are protected by a rugged and compact metal housing, are DIN-rail mountable, and offer built-in serial isolation. The rugged design is suitable for industrial applications such as power substation and renewable energy-related applications.

Easy Configuration

The MGate 5192 gateways are provided with a web console to make configuration easy without having to install an extra utility. In addition, HTTPS encryption of communication ensures higher network security. In most data-acquisition applications, configuration of devices with Modbus commands can be time-consuming and increase costs. The MGate 5192 gateways provide offline configuration via a CSV file to help complete the Modbus settings quickly. The MGate gateways provide software-configurable pull high/low and termination resistor settings for RS-485 2-wire to reduce efforts by eliminating the need to open the chassis.

Easy Troubleshooting

The MGate 5192 gateways provide a variety of maintenance functions to reduce troubleshooting time and cost, including LED indicators, protocol diagnostics, traffic monitor, and tag view. These tools help you capture and check data to easily identify the root cause of issues, especially during the installation stage. The MGate gateways also come with status monitoring and fault protection functions. The status monitoring function notifies a SCADA system when a IEC 61850 device gets disconnected or does not respond, in which case the process SCADA gets the status of each end device and then issues alarms to notify operators. The fault protection function keeps the latest data without sending output data to the IEC 61850 devices. When a SCADA gets disconnected, the end devices keep the last operation and do not go offline.
