FIBRO WPM pressure sensors located inside or outside of a registered pressing tool. The product EtherCatWPM Gateway records status information from WPM pressure sensors and the WPM data holder using the Bluetooth LE 4.0 standard in the FIBRO usage data proto- col.
Assembly ASSEMBLY The WPM Gateway is mounted on the press or in the immediate vicinity of the press or pressing tool using a holder and at an easily visible, mechanically protected location. Four M6 screws are used to attach it. The screw must be effectively secured against uninten- tional loosening.
Preliminary conditions The FIBRO gas springs are filled with nominal pressure. The FIBRO gas springs in the pressing tool are equipped with FIBRO WPM pressure sensors. The pressing tool is equipped with a WPM data holder. WPM data sensors and WPM data holders are equipped with lithium metal batteries.
Commissioning 5.2.1 Digital inlets The WPM Gateway has 4 digital inlets. 24V DC nominal voltage. Digital inlets are galvanically isolated from the device power supply. Recommended connection: • Line • M12 socket • 5-pole, A-coded • Maximum line length: 30 metres X72 plug M12 pin, Digital inlets...
Commissioning 5.2.2 Digital outlets The WPM Gateway has 4 digital outlets. 24V DC nominal voltage. Digital outlets are galvanically isolated from the device supply. Recommended connection: • Line • M12 socket • 8-pole, A-coded • Maximum line length: 30 metres X71 plug M12 pin, Digital outlets...
Commissioning 5.2.3 Relays The WPM Gateway has 3 potential-free relays. 2 of them have switchovers 1 of them has N/O contact 24V DC nominal voltage. Relay contacts are galvanically isolated from all signals. Recommended connection: • Line • M12 socket •...
Commissioning 5.2.4 EtherCAT Fieldbus The WPM Gateway has two EtherCAT connections (IN and OUT) and can therefore be com- pletely integrated into an EtherCAT Fieldbus system. Recommended connection: • EtherCat or Profinet line, shielded • M12 pin • 4-pole, D-coded •...
5.2.6 Deactivated - USB device BT LE 4.0 Interface The USB interface works only in connection with the WPM configuration software - as an alter- native to a FIBRO USB Bluetooth LE stick. X28 plug 4-pole, pin, M8 USB device...
Bluetooth module has failed. Bluetooth Bluetooth communication The LED blinks green status if there is no communication with FIBRO devices (WPM pressure sensors or WPM data holders). The LED shines green if there is communication between the CPU and Bluetooth. Gateway...
Operation Configuration operation The WPM Gateway does not need external configuration. The EtherCAT communication and data are configured via PLC. An EtherCAT XML file (device description file) is available for this purpose. Normal operating modes The WPM Gateway has four operating modes: •...

Open: WPM Gateway is not ready for opera- tion, or no tool is connected.
Operation 6.3.2 Pairing of the WPM data holder and WPM Gateway In normal operation, a WPM Gateway monitors exactly one configured pressing tool. This pressing tool must be made known to the WPM Gateway. If a WPM system is equipped with a WPM Gateway, the login button on the WPM data holder serves as manual confirmation for the manual pairing.
Page 21
Operation The pairing procedure is as follows: 1. Activation of the D0_IN inlet for pairing mode on the WPM Gateway. a) If a pairing has already been carried out, this pairing is cancelled Gateway LED blinks green b) If the gateway is ready for a new pairing, the gateway LED blinks red A lamp connected to the outlet D3_Out blinks.
Operation 6.3.3 Operation with EtherCAT Fieldbus Operation with an EtherCAT Fieldbus requires a superordinate EtherCAT Master, such as a PLC. An XLM device description file for the PM Gateway is available for configuring the EtherCAT Master. These instructions do not address how to configure a PLC or a fieldbus; that information is part of the respective PLC or fieldbus master description.

Operation 6.3.3.2 EtherCAT multiplexing selection of WPM data holders and WPM pres- sure sensors A fieldbus is used to quickly transfer dynamic process data. To maintain the real-time capabilities during short transfer cycles, only the real-time data that are absolutely necessary should be transferred. In the WPM system, the information of the selected pressing tool to be monitored are considered “necessary data”.

To actuate the individual signals, ‘Active Sensor’ (RxPDO1) is used in test mode. To activate test mode, ‘Command’...
6.3.4 (deactivated) USB communication with BT LE module In the WPM Gateway, the same Bluetooth LE chip set is used as in the FIBRO USB radio stick. The FIBRO WPM USB radio stick works with a virtual serial interface and a corresponding drive.
Maintenance MAINTENANCE The product EtherCatWPM Gateway requires no maintenance. The real-time clock battery must be replaced in the event of storage exceeding 3 years and with- out voltage supply. For this, specialist staff must open the device and change the battery. The battery does not need to be changed within the normal life span during normal operation when voltage is supplied.
Disposal DISPOSAL The product is an industrial product and is reclaimed through the old industrial device disposal system. Disposing of the battery NOTICE Dispose of the battery properly The battery consists of lithium metal cells. Lithium is a valuable raw material and a hazardous material.
