Hilscher. Application example of PROFIBUS to Modbus TCP In this example the GW-7553 acts as a Modbus TCP Slave device. When the GW- 7553 module receives a write DO Modbus command from PC’s Ethernet Port, the GW-7553 module can send the message to the input data area of PROFIBUS Master station.

The GW-7553 is a slave device of PROFIBUS DP protocol. The station address of GW-7553 can be set by DIP switch. The DIP switch can be seen by open the cover, as shown in the below. The range of DIP switch is 0~126, here we set GW-7553 module’s DIP switch to 1.
4. Software configuration GSD file Please copy the GSD file (IPDS0C0D.gsd) and the bitmap file (ICP_7553. bmp, GW_7553.bmp) from the CD of the GW-7553 module into the Profibus configuration tool. File->CopyGSD (Directory: --> CD:\profibus\gateway\gw-7553\gsd\) the example of how to load GSD file Here, we use the hilscher CIF50-PB PROFIBUS communication interface to show how to load GW-7553’s GSD file step by step.

When the user finishes the configuration and saves setting in the PROFIBUS Master station successfully, the 'RUN' LED indicator of GW-7553 is turned on. That shows the GW-7553 working in the data exchange mode. GW-7553 PROFIBUS/Modbus TCP Gateway Quick Start (Version 1.10, May/2012)

Set the network configuration of the GW-7553 1. Open MiniOS7 utility and press “F12” to find IP address of GW-7553. 2. Open web browser (ex. IE). Enter IP address of the GW-7553 in the Address field and press “Enter” to connect to GW-7553, and then enter default password (“icpdas”) to login to GW-7553 in Login page.
