Schneider Electric LUFP7 Software Implementation of the Gateway, Introduction, Profibus-DP

4. Software Implementation of the Gateway

4.1. Introduction

This chapter gives an introduction to a quick implementation of the LUFP7 gateway, using its default configuration. All LUFP7 gateways ship pre-configured.

This pre-configuration means that the user does not have to configure the LUFP7 gateway using AbcConf. This configuration is described in order to allow the gateway to be used with a configuration tool for Profibus-DP master PLCs. As an example this implementation will use Sycon (version ≥ V2.5.0.0), the multi-network configuration software marketed by Hilscher (Réf.: TLX L FBC 10 M), PL7 PRO (version ≥ V3.0) and a Telemecanique PLC from the Premium range (e.g. TSX 57353 v5.1) to which the appropriate Profibus-DP communication board shall be added (TSX PBY 100 coupler).

4.1.1. System Architecture

The default configuration for an LUFP7 gateway allows it to control, monitor and configure 8 TeSys U motor starters:

Please see chapter 2 Hardware Implementation of the LUFP7 Gateway, page 13, for the hardware implementation of the default configuration.

If you are using fewer than 8 TeSys U motor starters, you will need to adapt the gateway configuration using the “ABC-LUFP Configurator” software (see chapter 6 Configuring the Gateway, page 44, and chapter 6.6 Deleting a Modbus Slave, page 49).
