460 Gateway Device Line 460MXE Overview The 460MXE gateway device seamlessly connects power and energy data between one or more Eaton Power Meters and a BACnet/IP Client or Ethernet/IP Client or DeviceNet Master. By following this guide, you will be able to configure the 460MXE gateway for basic operation. You will set the device’s network settings and parameters to the proper configuration for initial operation and physically place the device in the network.
60 Gateway Device Line 460MXE Required Tools and Data You will need the following tools: ♦ The 460MXE Gateway ♦ The provided CD-ROM ♦ A Working PC (Windows based) ♦ The Supplied Ethernet crossover cable ♦ A 7-30 VDC power source (T-strip) You will also need to verify the following Modbus Slave Settings: ♦ Data Timeout ♦ Baud Rate ♦ Parity ♦ Data Bits ♦ Stop Bits Real Time Automation, Inc.
460 Gateway Device Line 460MXE Port Connections (BACnet/IP / Modbus and Ethernet/IP / Modbus) The factory default port settings on the 460MXE gateway are for Port 0 (T-strip) to be set for RS485 including power (Pin 5). Port 1 (DB9) is set to RS232 by default. If these default port are not compatible with your equipment they can be configured differently. For specific jumper settings refer to the end of this manual, appendix A.
