6Creating Project Files—SEAbus Port Expander

This chapter covers configuration of the DTU3005 as a SEAbus port expander. Once you have created a SEA- bus port expander project (see Chapter 3), follow the directions in this chapter to configure the project file. Then see Chapter 7 for directions on downloading the project to the DTU3005.

When configured as a SEAbus port expander, the DTU3005 allows two computers running supervisory software, such as WinPM, to connect to the same Sie- mens SEAbus devices. Up to 32 devices may be attached to port 2 of the DTU3005 by an RS-485 con- nection. This configuration is shown below in Figure 6.1.

Figure 6.1 Dual Passthrough Application

Once you have created or opened the project file, select Edit from the main menu and the following menu items appear:

•Port 1 (Passthrough)—allows you to configure the communications settings for the supervisory computer connected to port 1.

•Port 2 (SEAbus Devices)—allows you to configure communications settings for SEAbus devices con- nected to port 2.

•Port 3 (Passthrough)—allows you to configure the communications settings for the supervisory computer connected to port 3.
