6. Configuring the Gateway

To check that these changes have been entered into the configuration, choose “Monitor” from the “Sub- Network” menu again:

In point 6), you shall make sure that the total input and ouput sizes of the configured modules are the same as the exchange sizes displayed in the “Sub-network Monitor.” In the current example, “In Area 32 bytes” and “Out Area 36 bytes” imply that the modules combined under SysCon must have a total of 16 IW and 18 OW.

4)Transferring this configuration to the gateway: Please see chapter 6.4 Transferring a Configuration to the Gateway, page 47. Check that the configuration is valid (LED s GATEWAY flashing green). However, the gateway configuration is now different from the one taken into account by the Profibus-DP coupler with respect to the gateway (difference in the total length of input data), the LED q FIELDBUS DIAG therefore becomes flashing red at a frequency of 1 Hz, providing that the gateway is connected to the Profibus-DP network and to its DPM1 master.

5)Saving this configuration to your PC’s hard disk.

6)Changing the number of data transmitted by the Profibus-DP coupler: Under SyCon, change the list of modules configured for the gateway (see chapter 4.2.6 Editing and Configuring the Gateway, page 29). Since we have added 4 bytes after the output data in the gateway memory, the coupler should be configured to issue an additional 4-byte output data block for the gateway.
