Hardware installation Safety instructions Installation notes Installation, operation and maintenance must be made by qualified personnel only and in accordance with your local and national technical regulations and safety directives. Do not repair the device yourself, but replace it with an equivalent device. Repairs may be performed by the manu- facturer only.
Mechanical installation Starting from the left there is always mounted the main module is- at the last expansion module. This termination plug is not intended Net Lite. To the right of isNet Lite up to 5 expansion modules can be to connect wires.
Page 37
2.2.1 Specific conditions of use The equipment shall be installed in an enclosure that provides a degree of protection not less than IP 54 in accordance with IEC/EN 60079-15 and that have been considered to be not accessible in normal operation without the use of a tool. Transient protection shall be provided that is set at a level not exceeding 140 % of the peak rated voltage value at the supply termi- nals to the equipment.
Electrical installation Before installation of the modules and wiring make sure that the system is off power. The supply voltage of 24V is only connected to the main module isNet Lite. The expansion modules are supplied via the backplane bus from the main module.

Configuration of the IP address The default address of the module is: 192.168.0.10 subnet mask 255.255.255.0 Use your favorite browser to go the IP Address of your isNet Lite Headstation. You should see this website. This is a overview over the current status. Click on „Network Settings“...
Update of the Firmware If a new firmware is available for your device you can flash it using the web interface. Go to the Menu Firmware and select the file you want to flash. Click the Upload button and wait until a confirmation appears that the upload was successful.
Password Protection To enable a global password protection for the isNet Lite web interface, click on the Password menu on the left. Activate the Password protection by clicking in the checkbox. Enter your pass- word and repeat it in the field below. Click Apply to confirm your settings.
Activating MODBUS functionality To unlock the MODBUS functionality, you need to enter a valid license code. Go to the License Key page and enter the key. After clicking Apply, the MODBUS feature will be activated. Enable the MODUBS gateway by clicking Activate MODBUS Gateway.
FDT Configuration We also provide a CommDTM for FDT Frame Applications. To install the CommDTM you need to install the „isNet H@rt DTM Setup.exe“ from the CD-Rom. After that you have to start your FDT-Frame Application and it will update its DTM database. The FDT Frame Application PACTware is used in this manual as an example.
Page 47
The next step is to right click on the isNet Lite and select Parame- ter. You can now select the correct IP address of the isNet Lite. Just click on the Drop-Down-List as shown. The dialog will show all attached modules. If you click on „Create Child DTM“ they will be added to your project below the isNet Lite.
Page 48
If the CommDTM could not find any isNet Lites or if the isNet Lite is offline you are able to configure it offline. You just need to click the check box „Offline Configuration“. Then enter the IP address manually and select the attached modules in the right order manually.
Page 49
Now you can add a DeviceDTM to the isNet DTM. A dialog will show up where you can select the physical channel to which the device is connected.
isNet Lite – PROFINET The PROFINET Gateway is a combination of the Ethernet headstation isNet Lite and the proven PROFIBUSand HART-master expansion modules of the product line. The implementation of the gateway firmware was done according to the profile „Fieldbus Integration into PROFINET IO 2.0“...
Workflow of the engineering process Since the isNet PNGate is a modular gateway, there is no unique GSDML file available for this gateway. In fact the user needs to create the GSDML file before working with the engineering tool of his PLC, dependig on the actual hardware configuration and depending on all used PROFIBUS slaves in the end user applica- tion.
Creation of the GSDML file With the „isNet PNGate Config tool“ the creation and configu- ration of a GSDML file is a quite simple step. The tool consists of a single, stand-alone executable file and does not need to be in- stalled on the PC.
Page 53
5.2.1 Step 1: Configuration of modules The user needs to add modules to the project to match the con- figuration with the actual hardware of isNet Line modules. Add- ing modules is possible by using the context menu on the isNet Lite picture (the Ethernet head module) or by opening the mod- ule catalog and clicking on the desired module.
Page 54
To limit the number of PROFINET slots for better ressource usage, the user can set limits to the address range used by PROFIBUS and/or HART modules (in case of multidrop). By using the context menu (or doubleclick) on the appropriate module, the corre- sponding dialog window will open.
Page 55
5.2.2 Step 2: Configuration of PROFIBUS slaves To make use of PROFIBUS slaves, the user needs to import the nec- essary GSD files into the GSDML project. This is possible by using the menu item “Import GSD...” of the “File” menu, by clicking on the appropriate toolbar button or by dragging the GSD files from any Explorer window of Windows into the slave list frame of the “isNet PNGate Config tool”.
Page 56
5.2.3 Step 3: Export of the GSDML file Export of the GSDML file is done with a single mouse click on the appropriate toolbar button or by using the “Export GSDML...” menu item of the “File” menu. The following “Save as...” dialog already suggests a proper file name for the GSDML file.
Integration in SIMATIC Manager After creation of the GSDML file, the user can start the engineering process in the engineering tool of his PLC. This chapter shows this process with the example of SIMATIC Manager. 5.3.1 Import of the GSDML file In the SIMATIC Manger project please open the HW Config Win- dow by double-clicking on the Hardware item.
Page 58
In the HW Config Windows please select menu item „Options -> Install GSD file...“. In the following Dialog browse to the folder on your storage medium with the GSDML file, select the GSDML and select the button „Install“.
Page 59
After Installation of the GSDML file, the isNet PNGate will appear in the Hardware catalog with all underlying modules and sub- modules.
Page 60
5.3.2 Setting up properties for isNet PNGate After adding the isNet PNGate into the engineering project, se- lect the menu item „Object Properties...“ from the context menu to change PNIO Device name and IP address of the PNIO device. The device name must match the device name, that is stored in the isNet Lite.
Page 61
It is recommended to check the Update time for the is- Net PN- Gate. To do so, please select the PROFINET line in the SIMATIC manager and open the context menu. After selection of menu item „Object Properties...“ from the context menu, a dialog win- dows opens, where the Update time can be edited.
Page 62
5.3.3 Setting up PROFIBUS To change the baud rate of a PROFIBUS segment, the Master ad- dress or any other bus parameter, please open the context menu of the channel of the PROFIBUS module and select menu item „Object Properties..“.
Page 63
5.3.4 Adding fieldbus slaves to the engineering project In the hardware catalog, the PROFIBUS slaves and HART slaves appear as modules under the isNet PNGate. To add a fieldbus slave to the project, just drag it into a slot of the isNet PNGate. To determine the appropriate PROFINET slot, the „isNet PNGate Config tool“...
Page 64
In the next example there is a HART slave attached to the HART module at channel 4. According to the example in chapter 5.2.3 the user needs to drag the HART slave into slot 29.
Page 65
5.3.5 Parameterisation of PROFIBUS slaves and PROFIBUS modules If a PROFIBUS slave provide user specific parameter data, these parameters can be changed. To do so, please double-click on the module or select menu item „Object Properties...“ in the context menu of the module.
(single/dual module), PROFIBUS PA with up to 4 and HART supports up to 8 bus interfaces. For a detailed description of the Modbus functionality and map- ping tables, please see the Thorsis Technologies Modbus manual.
Sophisticated filter and trigger possibilities restrict the data volume and allow for tailored start and stop conditions of the monitoring. For a detailed description of the Diagnosis functionality, please see the Thorsis Technologies isFieldDiagnosis manual.
