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
on page 8.
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.
