Through the flexible firmware of UNIGATE IC2 no software-changes are required on the side of the customer! Since 1997 Deutschmann Automation has experience in the field of fieldbus gateways; this ® enormous experience results in the UNIGATE IC2 as a consistent sequel of this successful product line.
® The UNIGATE IC2 by Deutschmann Automation contains all components that are required for the communication in a fieldbus in one single module. Therefore a developer does not have to take care for that detail any more, only a hardware redesign is necessary in order to integrate the ®...

Hardware design Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG Hardware design ® This chapter gives basic advise, that is required in order to load UNIGATE IC2 into your own ® hardware designs. In the following all ports of UNIGATE IC2 are described in detail.
Hardware design Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG 3.2.8 Errror LED A red LED can be connected to this line (see chapter 3.6). It can have the following conditions: No error Error 3.2.9 LED-LINK1 A green LED can be connected to this line (see chapter 3.6). This is directly accessed by the PROFINET processor and is glowing when the Gateway on Port 1 is an operational network (it will receive link pulses).
The script itself can be generated by the company Deutschmann Automation or with the software Protocol Developer by yourself. For a detailed description of the script.commands of the Protocol Developer see the instruction manual Proto- col Developer and the online documentation concerning script-commands.

Hardware design Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG When connecting the UG-IC2 and the RJ45-connector it is important to make sure the signal lines RD1-/RD1+ resp. TD1-/TD1+ also RD2-/RD2+ resp. TD2-/TD2+ run as short a possible, parallel and equal in length.

Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG Hardware design The 74HCT595 used in this example has an undefined on-position, but therefor can set the outputs to the tri-state condition via the OutEnable- Pin 13. If it is more important to have a defined on-position in an applica- tion, and the OutEnable-pin is not necessary, the 74HCT594 can be used here.
Hardware design Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co.

Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG Hardware design Requirement for Ethernet-Interface Since there is an extremly large number of suppliers for RJ45 connectors (with and without inte- grated Ethernet transformer), or single Ethernet transformers on the market, it is not possible for us to test all possibilities.
IC2, the module carries out actions inde- pendently, in order to identify data from the connected device. For customers who already have a software-adaptation at he company Deutschmann Automation, this protocol as well or a Script after an adaptation can be processed by the IC2.
Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG Synchronous serial interface Synchronous serial interface ® The synchronous serial interface of the UNIGATE IC2 is used to connect clocked shift registers or components that have a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). It allows •...
The Debug-interface Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG The Debug-interface Overview of the Debug-interface ® The UNIGATE IC2 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.
Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG Script and configuration Script and configuration Overview ® The script stored in the UNIGATE IC2, as well as the configuration, can be replaced or updated via the serial interface (application) in the configuration mode.

Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG Script and configuration The operational sequence is as follows: The Gateway has to be in the config-mode. The script-download is initiated with "Ctrl-P (=0x10)". After that the data follows byte by byte as ASCII-hex-characters.
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 The software tool Protocol Developer can be downloaded from our website http://www.deutschmann.de. The Protocol Developer is a tool for an easy generation of a script for our script gateways. Its operation is exactly aimed at this use.

Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG Generating a script If the processing time should be too large in spite of these measures, there is the possibility to generate a customized Script command, that executes several tasks in one Script command.
FTP-Server Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG FTP-Server ® This UNIGATE has an integrated FTP server that enables access to the file system of the device. The FTP server is password protected. In addition to the predefined user name "admin" and the password "nimda", others can also be stored.
Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG FTP-Server 9.2.3 Load ® To upload the "users" file, the UNIGATE must be started in configuration mode. The FTP access ® takes place via the predefined user name "admin" and the password "nimda" if the UNIGATE still in the delivery status or the user name and/or the password has been lost.
WEB server Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG 10 WEB server ® ® This UNIGATE has an integrated web server. When delivered, the file system of the UNIGATE contains an HTML page on which the system parameters of the device are displayed.
Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG File system 11 File system ® The UNIGATE has a file system that is used by the integrated FTP server (see chapter 9) and the integrated webserver (see chapter 10). The directories /etc and /srv are stored in the delivery state.
PROFINET Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG 12 PROFINET If we are speaking of PROFINET, then the 100 MBit/s-version is automatically meant, full-duplex ® and switched Ethernet. The end device’s protocol is being converted in the UNIGATE via a Script.
Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG PROFINET 12.5 MRP (Media Redundancy Protocol) ® The UNIGATE IC2-PROFINET 2Port supports the MRP function. The device description file must contain the corresponding entry in order to be able to use the function. The corresponding entry "MediaRedundancy" is already included in the sample device description file "GSDML-V2.35-Deutschmann-MyDevice-20210217.xml"...
Error handling at UNIGATE® IC2 Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG ® 13 Error handling at UNIGATE A distinction can be made between two categories of system-errors: Serious errors (1-4): In this case, the Gateway must be switched off and switched back on again.
Execution of the firmware-update The safest way for the firmware-update is the use of the basic board combined with the software “FDT.EXE“ (firmware-download-tool). These tools are available from Deutschmann Automation (see chapter 16). A Firmware-update can be carried out in the following operational modes:...
