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 UNIGATE CL-EtherCAT module serves to adapt a serial port to EtherCAT networks. The ® terminal unit’s protocol is converted in the UNIGATE via a Script. ® The module CL-EtherCAT essentially consists of the following hardware components: ®...
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 (e. g. by means of the software WINGATE with "Write Script" under "File")
RS-interface Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG RS-interface RS-interfaces at the UNIGATE ® ® ® The UNIGATE CL - EtherCAT has the interfaces RS232, RS422 and RS485 available. The hardware always features a DEBUG-interface, see chapter 7. Buffer sizes at the UNIGATE ®...
Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG SSI-interface SSI-interface ® The UNIGATE also supports the connection of applications or products, that communicate via SSI.

Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG The Debug-interface The Debug-interface Overview of the Debug-interface ® The UNIGATE IC features a Debug-interface, that allows a step-by-step processing of a Script. Normally this interface is only required for the development of a Script.
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 empty. Layer 7 is converted in accordance with chapter 8.3.
Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG Generating a Script Generating a Script What is a Script? A Script is a sequence of commands, that are executed in that exact order. Because of the fact that also mechanisms are given that control the program flow in the Script it is also possible to assemble more complex processes from these simple commands.
Generating a Script Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG The use of the Protocol Developer software tool Protocol Developer downloaded from website http://www.deutschmann.de It is a tool for an easy generation of a Script for our Script Gateways. Its operation is exactly aimed at this use.
