Download PLC1 driver, PLC2 driver and project within 10 seconds after power-on. METHOD II Short pins 3 and 4 on PLC1 port of GWY-00 for at least 1 second after power-on. Remove the short. Now GWY-00 permanently waits for IBM download. Connect IBM download cable.
UNDERSTANDING GATEWAY FEATURES In this chapter..Gateway Modes Multi-dropping of devices using Gateway Repeat Cycle Control Word Error Indication Bit Communication parameters Status LEDs...
Gateway Modes Gateway has two modes of operation: Master-Master and Master-Slave. Before explaining these modes further Master and Slave concept should be explained. Master: Master is a Device which initiates communication. Slave: Slave is Device which processes Master’s query, takes necessary action and responds to the query, if necessary.
Example 4.1 Toshiba T series – Modbus Master: This configuration can be used to make Toshiba PLC function as a Modbus Master. Configure Gateway ports as: PLC1 Protocol: Toshiba T Series PLC and PLC2 Protocol: Modbus (Master). PLC1 of Gateway is configured as Toshiba T series master protocol so T series PLCs can be connected to PLC1 of Gateway.
Page 21
Example 4.2 Toshiba T series - Modbus Slave This configuration can be used to make Toshiba T series PLC function as a Modbus Slave. Configure Gate- way ports as: PLC1 Protocol - Toshiba T Series Master PLC2 Protocol - Modbus Slave. So the device connected on PLC1 will be a Toshiba T series PLC acting as a slave and device connected on PLC2 will be Modbus Master.
Multi-dropping of Devices using Gateway Gateway supports multidropping on both the ports. Following illustration explains multidropping of devices on Gateway ports. Devices with protocols that support networking can be multi-dropped on RS485 port of Gateway. Maximum 31 devices can be networked on Gateway RS485 ports. Node 1 Node 1 Motor...
Repeat Cycle User can control Block execution by using the Repeat Cycle field. This number decides whether the Block will be executed in each cycle. Larger the number lower the priority of the Block. Range for Repeat Cycle setting is 1-99. Repeat Cycle = 1 …………...
Error Indication Bit This feature enables detection of communication breaks during error free communication between Gateway and two devices. Communication breaks can occur due to no cable connection, wire faults, device power failure at both ends of Gateway. An Error bit can be designated in each external device connected to Gateway.
Project Setup This Chapter explains, how a simple Gateway project can be created and tested. To develop a Gateway system, select appropriate Gateway model depending on the system requirements. A new project can be created as follows: 1. Define the Gateway System: Protocol of Device(s) connected to PLC1 Protocol of Device(s) connected to PLC2 2.
Page 27
The Block edit screen should appear. Now create a block for data transfer. Please see screen below. Download this project and communication drivers into Gateway. Observe that when the inputs of PLC1 are turned ON the corresponding outputs of PLC2 are turned ON.
Example 2: Higher Level Controller (Modbus master) to PLC (Modbus slave) This project allows a higher level controller (acting as a Modbus master) to read devices and registers from a PLC and to write to devices and registers in a PLC. Select a Toshiba T1 PLC on the PLC1 port and a Modbus Slave on the PLC2 port.
Example 3: PLC (Modbus master) to Other Device (Modbus slave). This project allows the PLC to read the current temperature from the PID controller and write a set point into the PID controller. Assume Modbus Holding register 400001 contains the actual temperature. Assume Modbus Holding register 400002 is for the set point.
System Requirements: System Requirement for Gateway setup software are: Windows Version: Microsoft Windows XP / 2000, Windows 7 / VISTA (32/64 bits) Processor: PENTIUM or higher Hard disk Space: 5 MB or more Serial Mouse: Required RAM: 64 MB or more Display resolution: 800 X 600 (VGA) or better Display colors:...
Wiring Diagrams User must ensure correct wiring for problem-free operation of Gateway. Each device being connected to Gateway has a unique communication port. Pin outs of communication ports of gateway are given in section 2.3. Port details of the other devices can be found in the device manual. Gateway has RS232, RS422, RS485 and CMOS compatible communication ports, so user can directly connect any device with these communication signals.
