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.

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 o After the computer is connected, configure the Communication Modules, starting
o When all the necessary Communication Modules are configured, continue with
Editing the 460 Gateway Network Settings on page 50.
o When 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.
460 Gateway User Manual Page 4
Default IP Address – 192.168.0.100
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.

Figure 2-61 Serial Module configuration details a. Enter the maximum message length before the 460 Gateway stops receiving a particular message from the device. b. Enter a value 10 to 60000 milliseconds to enable the receive character timeout. If the 460 should never receive messages from the device (printer, sign, etc.), enter 0 to disable this timeout. However, if you want the 460 Gateway to poll a device periodically regardless of how much data is accumulated, a value (other than 0) here sends the data and then clears the buffer out after the amount of time you select. For example, if you enter a value of 1000, the serial device sends data to the 460 Gateway every 1 second. Even if it was in the middle of the transmission, all data from the buffer is sent to the 460 Gateway. c. Using delimiters is the best way to control your data. If the serial device can output delimiters, select the correct incoming start and/or end delimiter information for data going from the ASCII device to the 460 Gateway. If the serial device can process incoming delimiters, select the correct outgoing start and/or end delimiter information for data going from the 460 Gateway to the
ASCII device. The bytes should NOT be the same for both start and end.
If no delimiters are possible or desired, select Unused from the top of the dropdown menu(s).
If you do not want the start or end delimiters to be sent with the data, check the
Discard all delimiter byte(s) box. d. Select the port that the device uses to connect to the 460 Gateway. e. Select the appropriate communications mode. f. Select the correct transmission settings from the menus.

9. If you are configuring 460 Gateways that are not attached to the computer you are using, then email or save the file to media that can be transferred to the appropriate computer.
Note: When gateways are configured from a file, you still need to set jumpers (if desired), edit the network settings, and restart the gateway to make the settings take effect.
Uploading a configuration file to additional gateways
Use the following steps to configure a 460 Gateway from an existing configuration file. If you changed jumper settings on the 460 Gateway that supplied the configuration file, you need to
change the settings on all gateways configured using the file. Refer to Setting jumpers on page 4.
If the 460 Gateway is already connected to a personal computer and can access the Real Time
Automation web site ( http://192.168.0.100
1. Connect one end of an Ethernet crossover cable to the 460 Gateway and the other end to the RJ45 connector on your computer. A red Ethernet crossover cable was shipped with the 460 Gateway.
2. Insert the power connector to the 460 Gateway and then plug the power cord into a power source.
3. Your computer needs to be on the same subnet as this 460 Gateway unit. The unit’s default IP address is 192.168.0.100. Therefore your computer’s IP address must be set at
192.168.0.xxx, where xxx is any number that is not being used by any other device on your network.
If your computer is using a dynamic IP address (typical), you need to change it to a static
192.168.0.xxx address. Use the following steps to change your computer’s IP address. a. Go into your Network Setup. b. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) .

Changing IP or subnet addresses
After the 460 Gateway is setup and installed, you can still change IP or subnet addresses using one of two methods. The easiest way involves using the IPSetup.exe tool on the User Manuals
and Tools CD shipped with the 460 Gateway. However, if you no longer have the CD that came with the 460 Gateway, you can still change IP or subnet addresses using the Real Time
Automation 460 Gateway web site.
The IPSetup.exe
If you have the User Manuals and Tools CD that was shipped with the 460 Gateway, use the following steps to change the IP or subnet address. You can run this tool from your desktop, as it does not install any files.
1. Connect one end of an Ethernet crossover cable to the 460 Gateway and the other end to the RJ45 connector on your computer. A red Ethernet crossover cable was shipped with the 460 Gateway. (Or, you can use a regular Ethernet cable connected to a hub or subnet with the 460 Gateway.)
2. Insert the power connector to the 460 Gateway, and then plug the power cord into a power source.
3. Insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive on your computer. Double-click on the Tools folder.
Three tools display.
For Your Information: If you no longer have the CD that shipped with the 460
Gateway, download the IPSetup.exe at http://www.rtaautomation.com/support from the Real Time Automation’s website.
4. Double-click on IPSetup.
The Real Time Automation IPSetup screen displays. See Figure 4-10.

The 460 Gateway units on the network display. If the crossover cable is connected directly to your computer instead of to a hub, the 460 Gateway is the only one that displays.
Note: If you don’t see the 460 Gateway on the right, the unit is not accessible, and you need to look at connections to hub, router, switches, etc.
6. Change the IP, Network Mask, GateWay or DNS fields according to your network requirements. Leave Baud rate at the default value.
7. Highlight (click on) the unit to program on the upper right side of the screen, and click
Set . After you have changed any other IP or subnet addresses (if necessary), click on
Close .
