7 Script and configuration
7.1

Overview

In the configuration mode the scripts and configurations, stored in the UNIGATE® IC, can be
replaced or updated via the serial interface.
7.2

The configuration mode

If the pin „ConfigMode" pulled to GND during the PowerUp or Reset, then the UNIGATE® IC
starts in the configuration mode. In this mode it is possible to communicate with the IC without
processing the regular software. In this mode it is possible to change the UNIGATE® IC's set-
tings of the standard software or to write a new script in the UNIGATE® IC. It shows its start in
the configuration mode by issuing a status message, which might look as follows:
IC-EN-SC V3.41[18] (c)dA Script="FPGA-Transfer" Author="(dA) GL" Version="V 1.0"
Date=20.8.2002 SN=47110001.
The configuration of a UNIGATE® IC is restricted to setting the Ethernet-address (see also chap-
ter 9 'Setting the Ethernet-address').
7.3

Update the script

The preferred version is the one, where the IC is inserted into the basis board, available from
Deutschmann Automation and the Deutschmann tools (e. g. software WINGATE with "Write
Script" under "File") are used.
On request the procedures, how to overwrite the included script can be disclosed by
Deutschmann Automation in order to automatically replace the script in an application.
7.4 Configuration of the UNIGATE® IC
UNIGATE® IC is delivered with an empty script.
The configuration of the UNIGATE® IC - Ethernet is restricted to the setting of the Ethernet-
address.
