Introduction

Devices are based on G01 - G03 gateways (ESP32 Xtensa LX6 microcontroller) and G14 - G16 gateways (STM32F4 microcontroller) depending on needed ports and interfaces.

Dedicated EMC integrated circuits guarantee improved connection quality by limiting the impact of interference typical for an industrial environment.

Modbus gateways allow data transmission between LAN hosts and serial devices by converting Modbus protocols (Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU/ASCII). They are intended to be used in industrial networks especially in the field of Industry 4.0 but not only. Apart from extending the capabilities of industrial devices, they can be also adapted up to user’s requirements and needs.

Transmission is carried out by two modes: Gateway and Router. In the Gateway mode, the port is used to communicate with Slave devices, but in the Router mode with Master devices. It is also possible to set up different modes on every port. Block diagrams below describe how each of these modes works.


The device has max 20 sockets open in Gateway mode and max 8 in Router mode. It is possible to increase this value at client's request.

In the G03 gateway user should use only RS232 or only RS485 interface of one port as they occupy the same internal bus of the device. It means, don't use pairs: RS232-1 & RS485-1 at the same time and RS232-2 & RS485-2 at the same time!

Frame ground FG

Electronic circuits are constantly prone to electrostatic discharge ESD. Redisage Electronics modules feature a design for the frame ground terminal block FG. The frame ground provides a path for bypassing ESD, which provides enhanced static protection ESD abilities and ensures the module is more reliable. Connecting FG terminal block to the earth ground will bypass the ESD disturbances outside the device so will provide a better level of protection against ESD.

Frame Ground FG connection reference drawing is provided below.

If earth ground is not available FG can be left floating or it can be connected with the power supply GND.

Service mode

Procedure to enter service mode for G01 - G03 gateways
  • Turn off the power of the device.
  • Connect Ethernet converter to the dedicated USB/UART converter via the microUSB port.
  • Connect the USB/UART converter to the PC.
  • Open the serial console (default baud rate is 115200 bps).
  • Press and hold the S1 button.
  • Turn on the power.
  • Wait until the ST indicator (red LED) lights up.
  • Release the S1 button.
  • If the process is successful, service commands can be typed into the terminal.
Procedure to enter service mode for G14 - G16 gateways
  • Install STM32 Virtual COM Port Driver (if it was not done before).
  • Turn off the power of the device.
  • Connect Ethernet converter directly to the PC (the dedicated USB/UART converter is not obligatory).
  • Open the serial console (default baud rate is 115200 bps).
