Product description

MSI 400 gateways allow a MSI 400 system to transmit non-safety-related data for control and diagnostic
purposes to the external field bus system and to receive them.
Important safety information
Do not operate a MSI 400 gateway on a safety field bus!
The gateway modules are not suitable for operation with a safety field bus!
They do not only generate safety-related field bus data (state bytes) for control and diagnostic
purposes. They do not support any safety mechanisms that would be required for communica-
tion within a safety network.
Information on the function, configuration and designations
NOTICE
i
Where not otherwise indicated, this manual always considers the data exchanged between the
MSI 400 system and the relevant network from the point of view of the network master (PLC).
Thus data sent to the network from the MSI 400 system is termed input data, while data re-
ceived from the network is termed output data.
Configuration of MSI 400 gateways takes place via the MSI.designer configuration software, using a PC or
Notebook connected to the MSI 4xx main module via the USB interface or RJ45 Ethernet interface.
The safety-related logic of the MSI 400 system works independently of the gateway. However, if the system
has been configured in such a way that non-safety-related information from the field bus can be integrated
into the logic editor, switching off the gateway may result in availability problems.
A MSI 400 gateway can only be operated on a MSI 400 system. It does not have its own power supply. A
maximum of two MSI 400 gateways can be operated simultaneously for each system.
The gateway for Modbus TCP, PROFINET IO or EtherNet/IP is integrated into the MSI 430 controller mod-
ule, while the gateways for Profibus-DP, CANopen or EtherCAT are housed in a 22.5 mm wide installation
housing for 35 mm hat rails in accordance with EN 60715.
