Schneider Electric LUFP9 user manual Software Implementation of the Gateway, Introduction

4. Software Implementation of the Gateway

4.1. Introduction

This chapter gives an introduction to a quick implementation of the LUFP9 gateway, using its default configuration. All LUFP9 gateways ship pre-configured.

This pre-configuration means that the user does not have to configure the LUFP9 gateway using AbcConf. This configuration is described in order to allow the gateway to be used with a configuration tool for DeviceNet master PLCs. As an example this implementation will use RsNetWorx, the PLC configuration tool marketed by Allen Bradley (e.g. SLC500).

4.1.1. System Architecture

The default configuration for an LUFP9 gateway allows it to control, monitor and configure 8 TeSys U motor starters:

					DeviceNet
				master PLC
					(SLC500)
						DeviceNet (upstream network)
							LUFP9
	Modbus									Total of 8
	addresses						Gateway
										motor starters
										(TeSys U model)
c		d	e				f	g	h	i	j

Modbus (downstream network)

LineConnection

terminationboxes

Please see chapter 2 Hardware Implementation of the LUFP9 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 40, and chapter 6.6 Deleting a Modbus Slave, page 45).
