Page 3: Introduction
Introduction to Fieldbus Fieldbus is a generic term for communication between a GEM80 Controller and plant input and output. The currently supported protocols are Profibus FMS/DP, CANopen and DeviceNET. Master functionality is supported in each case. -

Page 6: Installation
The Fieldbus Modules are peripherals of the TCP/IP Ethernet module (9716-4020). Prior to the installation of any Fieldbus modules, ensure that a TCP/IP Ethernet module is correctly installed and configured. Refer to the GEM80-500 Series Controller Technical Manual for installation instructions and the GEMLAN-T Technical Manual for configuration instructions for the TCP/IP Ethernet module. -
Page 7: Module Identification
Module Identification A rotary switch located on the fieldbus module PCB achieves module identification. A maximum of two fieldbus modules can be installed into a GEM80-500, each identified in the system by reserved rotary switch position 2 or 3. The GEM80-500 Fieldbus driver will find the module with the lowest switch position and use the configuration parameters from Pn to configure this module, this is referred to as Module #1. -
Page 8: Operation
CAUTION The inclusion and configuration of one or more FIELDBUS modules grants read and write access to GEM80 data tables. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that adequate safeguards are used to prevent dangerous situations arising. Module Configuration Parameters An Advanced GEM80 Programmer (or equivalent) must be used to supply the module configuration parameters. - Page 9 GEM80 5.

This parameter is used to control the repetition rate of transfers (both input and output) between the GEM80 tables and the respective Fieldbus module. Scan rates for each module may be set independently. The value entered represents a rate in milliseconds, but the rate will limit to 2000 milliseconds. -
Page 12: System Configuration
The TCP/IP method connects directly to the GEM80 TCP/IP Ethernet module. As a result the GEM80 Ethernet module is able to examine the commands sent from the SyCon tool before passing them to the associated Fieldbus module. The running state of the host GEM80 is also examined by the Ethernet module, attempts to modify important system parameters will be refused if the host GEM is in the running state. -
Page 13: Maintenance And Fault Finding
GEM80 6. Maintenance and Fault Finding 6. Maintenance and Fault Finding Fixed F-Table This section contains general guidance for the maintenance of a controller containing Fieldbus modules. Each module is allocated 14 fixed F-Tables, used to report errors and statistical information. -
Page 14: Exchange Mode
Check Pn+3 or Pn+19 against the SyCon watchdog time, reconfigure and power-cycle the GEM80 or replace the faulty Fieldbus module The following rungs of ladder program will cause a user requested F1 trip if any configured module should fail. An F1 trip will also be produced if the module type does not match with the safety values entered in the configuration data. -

(9716-4020) to initialise. The Fieldbus slaves will therefore not be under the control of the GEM80. 6.1.3 Exchange Counter This unsigned 32-bit variable contains the count of transfers between the GEM80 and the Fieldbus module. 6.1.4 Presence Indication The Fieldbus module maintains a bit array of the active devices detected on the communications link. -
Page 16: Version Buffer
@3230 Fixed V-Table The GEM80-500 controller has five V-Table entries (V67 to V71 inclusive) reserved for plug-in module identifiers. The Fieldbus modules will also present their identifiers in these table entries. The values presented are the lower half of the device type as read from the Fieldbus module. -
Page 17: Hilscher System Software (Sycon)
This section provides a guide to the use of the Hilscher System Software supplied with the various Fieldbus modules that can be installed in the GEM80-500 Controller. It illustrates the configuration and down load of a PROFIBUS configuration to a GEM80-500 PROFIBUS MASTER (Part Number 9723-4020) using the supplied Hilscher System software. - Page 18 GEM80 7. Hilscher System software (SyCon) You will be presented with the following window. Select the options shown above, then NEXT to continue. You will be presented with the Welcome to Configuration window, proceed with NEXT. Select Components to load window You require the CIF Device Driver and your selected Fieldbus.

GEM80 7. Hilscher System software (SyCon) This creates a blank configuration file, a container to hold the representation of your Fieldbus system. 7.4.1 Start to build a representation of your Fieldbus system. Start by inserting the Fieldbus master module. This represents the module installed in GEM80-500. - Page 21 GEM80 7. Hilscher System software (SyCon) For this example, highlight the CIF104P-PB as the required master module (Profibus). Use ADD to select the master and OK to confirm. A list of module types and associated board reference numbers is given in section 5.2.2 The master is now added to the configuration file.
- Page 22 GEM80 7. Hilscher System software (SyCon) Next edit the master parameters for operation with the GEM80. Double click the master to launch the Master Configuration window shown below. Note: you can change the master station address from the default of 0 if required at this stage.

4. Buffered, host controlled The Watchdog Time can be adjusted to suit your application (default 1000ms). It should not be set to a value lower than twice the longest GEM80-500 Ladder scan rate. Once configured OK to return to network overview. - Page 24 GEM80 7. Hilscher System software (SyCon) Next select the required slave. Use ADD to select the required slave, then OK to confirm. If you can not find a suitable slave you need to import the configuration file supplied with the slave device. Importing these files is covered at the end of this document.
- Page 25 GEM80 7. Hilscher System software (SyCon) Slaves will have different modes of operation, the explanation of which will be covered in the specific slave module documentation. To select the correct mode of operation for your application use the Append Module button.

The Sycon configuration tool automatically connects to the well known port number 1099, the user is not required to make a port selection. A correctly configured GEM80- 500 TCP/IP Ethernet module will automatically create a port numbered 1099. It is not necessary to supply this port value in the Ethernet module configuration. - Page 27 GEM80 7. Hilscher System software (SyCon) Enter the IP Address of the GEM80 500 TCP/IP module, the address below is an EXAMPLE only. Refer to Publication T2011EN GEMLAN-T Technical Manual. Select - ADD The software scans the hardware at the specified IP Address and lists all compatible Hilscher hardware found.
