4. M2M Gateway Series

With the M2M Gateway controller, data from devices containing MODBUS slave functions or from

PLC controlling equipment can be obtained easily. As a multi-vendor supporter, data from various

models of makers including Mitsubishi MELSEC series, OMRON Sysmac series, or JTEKT TOYOPU

series are collectable. One single controller is capable of collecting data from several PLC units.

Moreover, the controller supports the measuring devices with MODBUS/RTU, MODBUS/TCP slave

functions.

Visit the CONTEC website and check the information on the supporting devices.

https://www.contec.com/

Information of the M2M Gateway Models

*1 A SIM card needs to be purchased individually. Use the standard SIM type. Neither nano SIM

nor micro SIM are appropriate.

*2 Opto-coupler isolated input (current sink output compatible) [12VDC built-in non-voltage input]

*3 Digital input and exclusive use

*4 Each LAN port is independent, therefore, network segments can be divided.

*5 Opto-coupler isolated input (current source / sink output compatible) [Switchable between

voltage input or Non-voltage input ]

* The functions listed here are applicable when the controller has the latest version of firmware.

The latest firmware can be downloaded from the “Support / Download” page in each model.

6. PLC Communication Outline

This section describes the general outline on PLC communication before configuring the

CONPROSYS M2M Gateway settings.

 PLC Communication : Command Response Method

Each PLC has its own protocol of the maker for external communication. Generally, a master (a remote

device such as M2M Gateway) makes a request and receives a response from a slave (PLC).

When collecting information, the master makes a request to the slave by specifying the device

address type and the range, then obtains device values from the PLC.

When specifying data (writing), the master transmits the device address information and values, then

receives a completion response from the PLC.

- An example of data request

- Communication Command

Some PLCs have a function to access areas with gaps at one time using the random access function.

However, the M2M Gateway has no such a function, therefore, an alternative measure is used to

access continuous areas, instead.

In order to access the area with gaps, it is necessary to perform communication several times.

For information collection performances, consider placing the collected data side by side or arranging

the access settings, for instance.

- There are gaps in the access area - Collecting data by performing communication several times.

- Arrange data order

7. Modbus Connection

Modbus communication method in CONPROSYS is compatible with Modbus/RTU and Modbus/TCP.

As for Modbus communication protocol, the communication procedure is the same as previously

described in PLC communication.

The definition of Modbus communication method is listed below.

Serial Communication

 Modbus/ASCII

A method of transmitting 1 byte (8-bit) data by converting into 2-character ASCII code

* 1 Unavailable with the CONPROSYS

 Modbus/RTU

A method of transmitting 1 byte (8-bit) data as it is (binary transmission)

TCP/IP Communication (Ethernet Communication)

 Modbus/TCP

Modbus / RTU message transmission over TCP / IP network

1. Basic Operation

The following instructions concisely describe how to access the CONPROSYS for the communication

settings.

For setting the CONPROSYS, access the web server operated with the CONPROSYS controller and

perform the configuration.

Refer to the "Setup Manual" or "Reference Manual (Software)" for details on web access.

See the summary below for accessing procedure.

To run the CONPROSYS, the basic settings and operations listed below need to be completed.

The settings to use PLC information are explained in the following chapters.

- Network Settings

- Time Synchronization Settings

- Saving the Settings

---Notice---

Using LAN ports differs depending on the M2M Gateway models.

- CPS-MG341-ADSC1-111, PS-MG341G-ADSC1-111

Two LAN ports within the product are recognized as one form OS with the same IP address.

- CPS-MG341-ADSC1-931, CPS-MG341G-ADSC1-930 (Models with OPC UA server)

Two LAN ports within the product can be used with differing segment IP addresses.

The default IP address (10.1.1.101) used to access the M2M Gateway controller for the first time

is provided to the left-side LAN port. Connect the cable to the LAN port on the left.

Use the left-side LAN port to access for the first time.

3. Time Synchronization Settings

This section describes time synchronization settings.

*Notice Regarding Time Settings

The M2M Gateway models listed below has no back-up power supplies (batteries) within the

controller. Therefore, the time information cannot be kept when shutting down or rebooting the

controller. Time synchronization is required depending on the intended use.

Also, note that functions such as logging the PLC collected information will not work if the time

synchronization is not yet successful.

- CPS-MG341-ADSC1-111

- CPS-MG341G-ADSC1-111

Time Synchronization

Web access the CONPROSYS, and go to the [Setting] and select the [Time] to open the setting page.

After completing the settings, click the [set] button. This saves the settings temporarily.

To save the settings on the CONPROSYS, perform the [Save]. This saves the contents into ROM.

To reflect the changed contents, perform the [Reboot].

Performing the [Save and Reboot] can simplify the actions.

Refer to the "4. Saving the Settings" for further details.

Click the [Set the PC Time] to set the time on the operating PC.

Use this when the NTP server cannot be connected in the environment such as for a test operation.

4. Saving the Settings

This controller runs by expanding the OS image on ROM into RAM. Saving in the network that was

explained earlier, the setting contents are temporarily saved in the RAM. To reflect the contents in

the ROM, perform the "Save". This keeps the settings even after the controller is rebooted.

-Save the settings

Go to the [Exit] menu, and select the [Save and Reboot], the [Save and

Shutdown], or the [Save].

The confirmation dialog appears and performs the action.

The saving progress can be viewed on the screen.

Performing the [Save and Reboot] or the [Save and Shutdown] reboots or

shuts down the controller after saving the contents to ROM.

1. PLC Communication Operations

The M2M Gateway controller needs to set up [Link config], [CPU config], and [Device config] to

communicate with PLC. The following explains configuration details of each setting, and multiple

information items can be set in a tree structure as shown below.

- [LINK Configuration] : Define the communication interface. Up to 10 links are configurable.

- [CPU Configuration] : Define the settings for the communications partner. Up to 30 CPUs are

configurable.

- [Device Configuration] : Configure the collection information (memory) settings. Up to 10,000 data

of up to 100 device groups are configurable.

- Configuration Screen

- Linking PLC information

Assign the information collected by PLC communication to "Modbus memory", and the information

can be used in the task function or monitoring function of CONPROSYS.

Assigning the information to “Modbus memory” is specified in the “Modbus address” settings of the

“Device setting”.

There is also a function to create a file and send the communication information to the cloud. This is

explained in the [3.Data Transfer to a Higher Level] in the next chapter the [How to use Collection

Data].
