1. Introduction
1.1. Introduction to the user guide
Chapter 1 Introduction (page 6) describes the gateway, the user guide that comes with it and the terms used in it.
Chapter 2 Hardware Implementation of the LUFP9 Gateway (page 13) gives an introduction to the gateway and describes all the items used when setting it up, both inside (thumb wheels) and outside (cables and connectors) the gateway.
Chapter 3 Signalling (page 22) describes the six LEDs on the front of the gateway.
Chapter 4 Software Implementation of the Gateway (page 23) describes the successive steps for setting the gateway up with its default configuration, with a PLC using DeviceNet. LUFP9 gateways are shipped pre- configured to allow you to interface a DeviceNet master with 8 predefined Modbus slaves (TeSys U motor starters).
Chapter 5 Gateway Initialization and Diagnostics (page 33) describes two registers in the gateway’s memory reserved for initializing and carrying out diagnostics on the gateway. They are only exchanged between the DeviceNet master and the gateway.
Chapter 6 Configuring the Gateway (page 40) describes how to use the
This chapter also shows the changes to be made to software implementation operations in RsNetWorx.
Appendix A: Technical Characteristics (chapter 7, page 80) describes the technical aspects of both the gateway and the DeviceNet and Modbus RTU networks it is interfaced with.
Appendix B: Default Configuration (chapter 8, page 83) describes the main features of the default configuration of the LUFP9 gateway. However, it does not go into AbcConf in detail.
Appendix C: Practical Example (RSLogix 500) (chapter 9, page 86) gives a simple example using the LUFP9 gateway’s default configuration. This example exploits the command and monitoring registers for 8 TeSys U motor starters and uses the aperiodic read and write services used to acces the value of any motor starter parameter.
Appendix D: DeviceNet Objects (chapter 10, page 94) describes both the generic DeviceNet objects and the DeviceNet objects specific to the LUFP9 gateway. The values of the attributes of these objects are also given.
Appendix E: Modbus Commands (chapter 11, page 113) describes the content of the Modbus command frames supported by the LUFP9 gateway.
