Structure of the
LUFP9 gateway’s memory:
Outputs
• 2 bytes for the activation or inhibition of the downstream network by the gateway
(see chapter 5 Gateway Initialization and Diagnostics, page 33).
• 510 bytes accessible by the DeviceNet master in the form of output data (see
chapter 8.2.2 Output Data Memory Area, page 85, for the default use of this
output data).

You can use the general data area for Modbus input data (from Modbus
responses) if you do not want the DeviceNet master to have access to them. In
this case, always use 16{#4000 as the starting address. If you use multiple times
the same addresses in this area, the corresponding memory locations will be
displayed in red in the “General Area” section of the “Sub-network Monitor”
window (see page 51 for an example). However, this will have no consequences
on the gateway during run-time.
Data transfer order
(swapping)
• DeviceNet network: LSB first and MSB last.
• Modbus RTU network: MSB first and LSB last.
• LUFP9 gateway: MSB stored in the lowest memory address.
In most cases, the option which should be chosen for Modbus data stored in
the gateway’s memory is “Swap 2 bytes”. This option relates to all “Data” fields
for Modbus queries and responses frames.
