Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG Information for the machine manufacturers Information for the machine manufacturers Introduction ® The UNIGATE module does not constitute a machine as defined by the EU "Machinery“ Directive. Consequently, the module does not have a Declaration of Conformity in relation to the EU Machinery Directive.
Introduction Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG Introduction ® The module UNIGATE MB-MPI serves to adapt a serial port to the Siemens MPI-bus. In this application, it functions as a Gateway and operates as MPI master or slave, optionally adjustable via Script.
Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG Operation modes of the Gateway Operation modes of the Gateway Configuration mode (config mode) The configuration mode serves to configure the Gateway. The following adjustments are possible in this mode. • Loading a Script •...
Operation modes of the Gateway Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG In this mode the State-LED on the RS-side will be flashing red, the "Error No/Select ID" LEDs will be displaying the value in a binary way, that is issued that moment. Additionally each character that is received at one of the interfaces will also be output at the same interface as a local echo.
Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG RS-interface RS-interface ® RS-interfaces at the UNIGATE ® The UNIGATE MB - MPI has the interfaces RS232, RS422 and RS485 available. ® Buffer sizes at the UNIGATE ® UNIGATE MB features at the serial side a buffer with the size of 1024 bytes for input data and output data each.
SSI-interface Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG SSI-interface ® The UNIGATE also supports the connection of applications or products, that communicate via SSI. Initiation of the SSI-interface The configuration of the SSI-interface is executed in the config mode with the WINGATE soft- ware, Protocol SSI.
Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG SSI-interface Hardware-wiring The clock wires of the SSI-interface are placed onto the Tx-wires of the RS422-interface and the ® data wires onto the Rx-wires at the UNIGATE X1 (3pin + 4pin screw-plug-connector): Pin no.
Communication can be split into seven layers, Layer 1 to Layer 7, in accordance with the ISO/OSI model. The Deutschmann Automation Gateways convert Layers 1 and 2 of the customized bus system (RS485 / RS232 / RS422) to the corresponding Fieldbus system. Layers 3 to 6 are blank, and Layer 7 is converted in accordance with chapter 7.3.
Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG Implemented protocols in UNIGATE® MB Implemented protocols in UNIGATE ® ® UNIGATE MB is supplied with the Script “Universal Script Deutschmann“. The configuration of the protocols is carried out in the configuration mode (see Chapter 4.1) with the software WING- ®...

KG 8.2.1 Data structure 8.2.2 Fieldbus parameters Trigger byte: See „The trigger byte“, chapter 8.6 Length byte: See „The length byte“, chapter 8.7 8.2.3 RS232 parameter table 8.2.3.1 Start character (232 Start character) If this character is defined, the gateway evaluates only the data at the RS232 interface following this start character.
Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG Implemented protocols in UNIGATE® MB 8.2.4 Communication sequence The useful data (data area) arriving via the fieldbus is copied in accordance with chapter 8.2.1 transparently into the RS232 data field and transferred via the RS interface, whereby the protocol is supplemented in accordance with the configuration (start character, end character...).
Implemented protocols in UNIGATE® MB Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG 8.3.3.2 Conflicts 8.3.3.3 Timeout times The timeout times are preset by the definition of the 3964R protocol and cannot be overwritten !!! tq = acknowledgement timeout time (2 s).
Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG Implemented protocols in UNIGATE® MB The user can choose whether the fieldbus requests are forwarded to the Modbus in case of a change (On Change) or on request (On Trigger). In "Change" mode, detection of a change is based on the fact that the fieldbus data is compared with that of the last transmission, and a request is issued by the Modbus only in the case of a change.
Implemented protocols in UNIGATE® MB Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG Since the Modbus operates with a variable data format - dependent on the required function and data length - but since the fieldbus requires a fixed data length, this must be preset by means of a selection in the device description file.
Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG Implemented protocols in UNIGATE® MB The trigger byte Since the data is always transferred cyclically on PROFIBUS, the gateway must detect when the user wishes to send new data via the serial interface. This is normally done by the gateway com- paring the data to be transferred via the PROFIBUS with the old data stored internally - data exchange on change (data exchange ->...
Implemented protocols in UNIGATE® MB Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG 8.8.1 Data structure on the fieldbus side e.g.: PROFIBUS Applies to In and Out 1. Byte: trigger byte, optional (see chapter 8.6, The trigger byte) 2. Byte: fieldbus length byte, optional (see chapter 8.7, The length byte) 3.
Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG Implemented protocols in UNIGATE® MB In the following example the Bit (Coil) in Address 0002 is set to High (1): The fieldbus data is updated: 02 03 04 05 06 07 00 00 00 00 00 The internal buffer reserves this value, which means it can be read back by the Master via FC1 Read Coil status:...
Implemented protocols in UNIGATE® MB Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG The 2nd row shows the fieldbus data AFTER the write command. You can see that the value 00 07 is send as Address in the Modbus request. (As mentioned in the chapter Universal Modbus Master some Master pull System one as offset.)

Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG Implemented protocols in UNIGATE® MB Here the content of the address 10009 is changed from 0 -> 1 In the following example only the "No. Of Points" is switched to 10. Which means that now 10 Bits => 2 Byte are read out. This is also the reason why the fieldbus length byte (2.
Implemented protocols in UNIGATE® MB Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG Thereby the addressed slave holds the following data in its registers.: register address value(hex) 40000 0x0000 40001 0x0202 40002 0x0303 40003 0x0000 40004 0x0000 register = 1 Word = 2 Byte In the documentation of some applications, an Offset + 1 at the address is assu- med.
Implemented protocols in UNIGATE® MB Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG Storage content of Modbus Slave after response: Please keep in mind that No. Of coild = 10, hence, only the lower bit in address 0011 is written at the value 0x05. Address 0013 would already be bit No. 11, which is not transmitted anymore....

Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG Installation guidelines 11 Installation guidelines 11.1 Installation of the module The module with the dimensions 23 x 117 x 111 mm (W x D x H) has been developed for switch cabinet use (IP 20) and can thus be mounted only on a standard mounting channel (deep DIN-rail to EN 50022).
Installation guidelines Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG 11.2.1.2 Equipotential bonding connection The connection to the potential equalization automatically takes place it is put on the DIN-rail. 11.2.2 MPI-bus communication interface 11.2.2.1 Bus line with copper cable This interface is located on the module in the form of a 9-pin D-SUB socket on the front side of the housing.
Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG Installation guidelines 11.2.4.1 Shielding of lines Shielding is intended to weaken (attenuate) magnetic, electrical or electromagnetic interference fields. Interference currents on cable shields are discharged to earth via the shielding bus which is con- nected conductively to the chassis or housing.
