(working on any infrastructure which allows the connection of IP based equipment to the TETRA switch). The main function of the TGW-100 is to connect serial based equipment to the TETRA network with a direct IP connection to the TETRA switch. This will save the air interface link on the master side, where normally the data to all outstations will be routed through.
Funk-Electronic Piciorgros GmbH TGW-100/TGW-100R Software Options Basically the TGW-100 can be used to connect serial equipment to any TETRA infrastructure if the data transmission is done by packet data (IP based) in the TETRA network. For a SDS based data transmission, the protocol to send and receive SDS and Status messages is proprietary for each infrastructure manufacturer as there is no standardized interface.

TGW-100/TGW-100R Data Communication over TETRA Networks The TGW-100 can transfer data between any of its wired data interfaces (serial and Ethernet ports) on one side, and the TETRA infrastructure on the other. The TGW-100 can handle any of the common industrial automation and instrumentation protocols (MODBUS, MODBUS/TIP, IEC-60870-5-101, IEC-60870-5-104, PakBus, DNP3 etc.…), custom protocols, and configuration data.

In contrast to SDS based transmission, there is no need of a special support of the used infrastructure by the TGW-100, as IP packets are standardized and no proprietary protocol is needed. V2.71 - Page 28 of 59...
Control Channel (MCCH). Therefore no additional timeslots or RF-Carriers are required for data communication. The TGW-100 supports a maximum SDS length of 2047 bits (254 bytes) in accordance with the ETSI specification. However, since not all TETRA infrastructures support this length, users can set a lower maximum length for SDS data blocks.
As the use of SDS for data transmission is depending on the implementation of the used infrastructure in the TGW-100, the infrastructure manufacturer must be selected in the TGW-100 for the use of SDS based transmission. This selection is done in "TETRA Gateway" selection: Some infrastructure manufacturers may be subject to a license for the TGW-100, so not all options may be available for activation.
In TETRA Etelm Gateway all needed parameters can be configured: ISSI: The ISSI of the TGW-100. SDS data from the outstations needs to be sent to this ISSI to be received by the TGW-100. Each TGW-100 needs a different, unique ISSI.
You can run multiple instances of the program on the same machine, each interfacing one TGW-100. The application will open a TCP port to wait for a connection of the TGW-100. This port must be specified, also one port can only be used by one application on a PC.

Protocol Configuration When a data block is received at the serial interface of the TGW-100, it waits for the complete data block to be received. The data block end criterion is that no further data byte is received after a lapse of a user-programmed time (default: 10 milliseconds). The protocol-dependent logical address of the destination terminal equipment is extracted from the data received via the serial interface.
Page 41
Funk-Electronic Piciorgros GmbH TGW-100/TGW-100R If multiple-address routing is not possible or desired, then the TGW-100 can be configured to use a single ISSI or IP, to which all transmitted data is addressed. The slave modems would be part of a group: all modems of this group receive the same data.
3.1.6 Using the TGW-100 as Slave Device A TGW-100 used as slave modem need not be configured for handling a specific serial data communication protocol. Basically, the modem passes on each data record that it receives from a master modem out through its serial interface. When this happens, it...

TGW-100 Ethernet setup. Example: If the IP gateway in the TETRA network has the address 10.10.0.100, the TGW-100 must be in the same subnet and the IP gateway in the TETRA network must be entered as the IP gateway in the TGW-100:...
The 3964R often is used in the „Siemens World“, connecting PLC’s to PLS’s or PLS’s to SCADA systems. That “Layer One” protocol is fully supported by the TGW-100. If possible, the priority settings of the device connected to the TGW-100 should be set to “low priority”.
When setting the TGW as a master unit, it is useful to know what communication protocol is used. Regarding that, the TGW-100 knows, where inside the data stream the address byte(s) is (are) located. With that knowledge, the TGW extracts this “logical address byte”...
4.2.5 PakBus Pak bus is a much unknown protocol, but it is fully supported by the TGW-100 4.2.6 BSAP The TGW-100 detects the difference between the normal and the extended messages in BSAP protocol and extracts the address information accordingly.
Serial HART was tested with the TGW-100 simultaneously with the DNP3 protocol. The DNP3 was communicating over the COM port while HART was transferred data via AUX. In that application the TGW-100 was used with an ETELM switch and Infrastructure.
192.168.0.xxx may need to be assigned to the connected PC. The TGW-100 can be connected using a 1:1 patch cable if connecting to the PC via a switch or hub. If connecting to a PC directly, use a crossed cable.
".pch" is the keyfile to activate the loaded firmware. To perform the update, the ".pfw" file must be sent first to the TGW-100. Unless the ".pch" file is sent to the TGW-100, the device will just store the new firmware file.
Transfer the .pfw file to the device, using the command tftp –i 192.168.0.199 PUT filename.pfw The IP here is the default IP of the TGW-100, if this IP is changed you have to give the correct IP address instead. Also "filename.pfw" must be replaced by the real firmware file name.
Page 55
The .pch file must always match to the corresponding firmware. Otherwise an error message will be displayed and the update operation will not be started: The firmware for TGW-100 and TGW-100R is different! It will not be possible to update a TGW-100 DIN-Rail with a TGW-100R firmware and vice versa!
Saving and restoring the configuration 6.2.1 Save a configuration To back up the configuration of a TGW-100, the file "config.tmo" can be downloaded from the device by TFTP using the methods described before. The file can be renamed afterwards for proper identification or archiving.
