TraxBus
is a dedicated fieldbus specifically designed
to operate in very harsh environments where electrical
noise generated by ignition transformers makes very
difficult to operate for any standard physical layer.
PROFINET® is an industry technical standard for data
communication over Industrial Ethernet, designed for
collecting data from, and controlling equipment in
industrial systems, with a particular strength in
delivering data under tight time constraints.
TraxGateway.ETH allows to control, from PROFINET-IO
controllers, up to 99 burners operated by QBK (Burner
Control Units) in a TraxBus network.

    PROFINET-IO RECEIVE LINE - AND ACTIVITY INDICATOR: SOLID > NETWORK CABLE CONNECTED AND LINK DETECTED TERMINALS 4, 5, 7, 8 CONNECTED TO PE (RJ45 METAL FRAME) BLINK > DATA ACTIVITY VIA RC (BOB SMITH TERMINATION). © 2022 CONTRIVE • B1361.EN www.contrive.it 0523...
  • Page 3 A short-circuit on the TraxBus while the unit is transmitting can damage the TraxGateway.ETH, a limited time short- circuit while the unit is in idle mode (receiving) is tolerated. Specific set of commands available for each device equipped with TraxBus interface (see detailed information on respective device technical literature).
  • Page 4 DATA MAPPING OVERVIEW The PROFINET-IO controller sends commands that TraxGateway.ETH will forward to the remote devices from which it receives the current status that will be returned to the PROFINET-IO controller. Since the communication speeds of the two buses are different, TraxGateway.ETH stores information that are cyclically...
  • Page 5 First octet of address 0 holds the current configuration. The control byte sets the behavior of TraxGateway.ETH. The status byte returns the current settings. TraxBus baud rate must be the one set for remote devices and it is the same for all units.
  • Page 6 This bit must be activated when a remote burner will be associated with the specific address. When a remote device does not respond, the TraxBus scan is slowed down and it is therefore important not to declare as INSTALLED devices that are not reachable. © 2022 CONTRIVE • B1361.EN www.contrive.it 0523...
  • Page 7 THE REMOTE DEVICE COMMUNICATES REGULARLY When the reading of the flame signal is enabled, TraxGateway.ETH makes an additional request to the remote device (only when the burner is on). This results in a slowdown in the cyclic scanning of devices.
  • Page 8: Web Server

    WEB SERVER TraxGateway.ETH has an integrated web server, the main page can be accessed from any browser by specifying the IP address of the device (factory default IP = 192.168.90.101). On this page there is a panel that shows status and flame signal of the burners installed, each with its own numbering.
  • Page 9: Gsd Files

    Errors in the communication between the browser and the device are indicated by the red flashing of this indicator. GSD FILES The GSD (General Station Description) file is required to integrate TraxGateway.ETH in the configuration of the PROFINET-IO controller (PLC), it contains all the information for configuring the network and the data exchange.
