The instrument described in this technical user manual is a device suitable for application in a specialized technical area. DLG supplied products are submitted to a strict quality control process. However, industrial control electronic equipment can cause damage to machinery or processes controlled by them in the event of any failure or improper operations and may even endanger human lives.
Profibus DP slave and a Modbus RTU master, it allows Modbus slaves to be controlled by Profibus masters. The LMP-100 may be mounted on a standard 35 mm DIN rail. LEDs provide indication of power supply, device, Modbus and Profibus network states.
• Necessity of using a particular device only available with Modbus communication in Profibus-based facility. Figure 1 depicts a LMP-100 typical application. In the role of a Profibus DP slave, the LMP-100 receives commands from the Profibus master. These commands are interpreted by the LMP-100 which, in the role of a Modbus master, forwards them to the Modbus slaves.
The only parameter that is not configurable through the master is the LMP-100 address on the Profibus network. It is important to notice that as all configuration is sent to the LMP-100 at the Profibus DP parameterization state, configuration changes cause the device to leave the data exchange state and return to the parameterization state, temporarily stopping the data transfer between the Profibus and Modbus networks.
The GSD file installation procedure is manufacturer specific, so it is recommended to consult the respective Profibus master user manual. After proper installation of the GSD file, the entire configuration of the LMP-100 is done through the Profibus master configuration software.
LMP-100 PROFIBUS/MODBUS GATEWAY Modbus network configuration The LMP-100 provides the following configuration parameters for the Modbus network: Parameter Description Modbus network baud rate. All slaves must use the baud rate adopted by the LMP-100. The possible values are: • 1200 bps •...

The wait interval is useful to allow the slave which sent the response to be able to change the RS-485 transceiver direction from “transmit” to “receive”. The LMP-100 is configured by default to wait for 10 ms, a suitable value for most installations. Therefore, change this parameter only when really necessary.
244 bytes long, used for data exchange with the Profibus master. The input buffer is where the LMP-100 puts data to be transferred to the Profibus master. This data is polled from the Modbus slaves. The output buffer is where the LMP-100 places data received from the Profibus master.

LMP-100 is encoded in this format. Profibus masters and other supervisory systems may be designed to operate in the LE format. Should that be the case, the LMP-100 may be configured to perform the byte order inversion internally, thus eliminating the need to program a byte order inversion algorithm in the PLC, for instance.

“On value change”. At one point in time, the Profibus master changes the value of a digital output from 0 to 1. The LMP-100 transfers this change to the appropriate Modbus slave. Sub sequentially, the Modbus slave is turned off and on again, and the non-retentive digital output goes back to value 0.

It is important to know how the Modbus functions encode the data exchanged between masters and slaves, since the LMP-100 transfers to the Profibus buffers Modbus data exactly as they are exchanged in the Modbus network. Table 3 details how data is encoded according to each Modbus function.
Diagnostic is comprised of several conditions mapped into bits, where bits with value 1 indicate an alarmed condition. Byte 0 indicates the number of available diagnostic bytes. The LMP-100 provides 42 diagnostic bytes. Bytes 1 and 2 are reserved.

(available starting at firmware version 02.01.00) The LMP-100 provides exactly the same diagnostic data for both mechanisms. The choice of mechanism for accessing diagnostic data must take into account certain factors. The “Profibus input” option lets diagnostic data to be accessed easily, since they are mapped to the Profibus input buffer.
“No” in all rules that address the missing or defective Modbus slave, preventing Modbus communications with the slave. However, it is important to emphasize again that any change in the LMP-100 parameters stops data exchange while the the device is reparameterized by the Profibus master.
The DB9 connector and the terminals are internally wired, and can be used together. For example, the LMP-100 may be connected to the Profibus master through the terminals and a network analyzer can be simultaneously connected to the DB9 connector, without disturbing the device operation.
LMP-100 PROFIBUS/MODBUS GATEWAY Mechanical Installation Fix the LMP-100 on the the top of the DIN rail. Using a screwdriver, pull the lock that is located at the bottom of the LMP-100. After pulling the lock, fix the LMP-100 at the bottom of the DIN rail.
LMP-100 PROFIBUS/MODBUS GATEWAY Recommendations It is recommended to use only appropriate tools for the LMP-100 installation and maintenance. It is necessary to use a “terminal” type screwdriver for terminal connection or 1/8 with 3 mm maximum diameter, as it is the ideal format and will not damage the connector aperture.
