Control architectures with I/O, PID control, acquisition and gateway modules
The Ascon’s deltadue DX and DY series of gateways, adapters and WebSCADA interface the PID control and acquisition modules with PLCs, PC based systems, SCADAs and Operator Panels to realize different architectures by connecting the modules to:
- A PLC or SCADA with MODBUS TCP protocol via an Ethernet network or the web.
- Any web browser for the configuration of HTML management pages and to MODBUS TCP SCADAs via an Ethernet network.
- A MODBUS TCP SCADA (via Ethernet network) and to a PLC (PROFIBUS DP or MODBUS RTU or DeviceNet) simultaneously.
- CANopen, PROFIBUS DP, DeviceNet networks.
- MODBUS RTU networks with different baud rate, parity and stop bits.
- Two masters, such as Operator Panels, SCADA, PACs, etc. simultaneously.
The DX also include the following Manager functions:
- Automatic learning and back up of the modules configuration data;
- Hot Swapping, automatic configuration and parameterisation of replaced modules;
- Offline configuration and parameterisation, the modules data are downloaded into the DX before they are mounted, when the modules are inserted into their housings, they are recognised, configured and parameters are downloaded;
- Diagnostic of the modules, the DX scans all the modules to verify if they are the correct ones and working properly.
The modules can work as independent units; no back planes or common modules are necessary. The DX is optional, it must be ordered only when the gateway or Manager functions are necessary.

UNIGATE IC
UNIGATE IC combines all analog and digital signals of the Fieldbus- or Ethernet-interface on a small space of 45 x 25 mm (DIL-32-housing).
The Deutschmann UNIGATE® IC is a complete single-chip bus-solution in a 32-DIL-housing. On a space of 45 x 25 mm only, the device contains all necessary components, such as microcontrollers, Flash, RAM, bus-chip and of course the analog components, such as optocoupler and bus driver. The UNIGATE® IC is connected to the microprocessor of the terminal equipment or it can be operated stand-alone. UNIGATE® ICs are certified and/or tested on the bus and through numerous applications, the problem-free operation with all marketable master systems has been proven. The integrated microprocessor processes the entire data traffic with the bus and consequently relieves the terminal equipment processor of this considerable effort. The protocol of the terminal equipment is converted via a Script in the UNIGATE® IC. With the free PC-tool "Protocol Developer" this Script is generated and optimally adapted to the final product and the requirements of the bus. Changes in the Firmware of the terminal equipment are not necessary and the microprocessor of the terminal equipment is not additionally loaded with communication- and bus-tasks. The hard- and software-interfaces of the Deutschmann UNIGATE® IC-series are standardized and functionally identical. As a result, the ex-changeability between the different UNIGATE® IC-versions of the device control electronics is guaranteed.

AS-Interface networks up to 62 field devices onto a single pair of wires that delivers both signal and power. Actuator Sensor Interface, or AS-Interface, was developed by a group of sensor manufacturers and introduced into the market in 1994. Since that time, it has become the de facto standard for discrete sensors in process industries throughout the world. AS-Interface may be used in hazardous process environments using explosion proof, tray cable, nonincendive and for nonincendive wiring protection concepts.

Gateways
The intelligent Gateway for the connection of industrial networks - UNIGATE FB
Connecting incompatible networks
In the field of automatic control many different Fieldbuses and Industrial Ethernet became established worldwide. Again and again the task of interconnecting these incompatible networks comes up. The UNIGATE® FB-series was created exactly for that task. The series contains Fieldbus-Slave as well as Industrial Ethernet versions.The UNIGATE® FB is designed as DIN-rail module and contains the selected Fieldbuses or Ethernet in the mechanical variant carried out in the respective standard. Internally the product is realized by using two UNIGATE® IC-modules that are mounted on a carrier motherboard. By this modular structure all Fieldbus- and Ethernet-versions can be supplied, provided that the respective
IC-modules are available. The number of available versions is growing steadily by the continuous development of new IC-modules e. g. in the Industrial Ethernet field.
In case of the series UNIGATE® FB, the data exchange between the Fieldbuses or Ethernet is realized through a Script. With the free PC-tool "Protocol Developer" this Script is generated and optimally adjusted to the final product and the requirements.

The Anybus- X-gateway® family consists of over 180 certified and proven industrial gateways connecting almost any two industrial networks. The X-gateway is a simple, easy to use gateway connection real-time Ethernet networks to almost any fieldbus.
Real-time Ethernet protocols supported:
• EtherNet/IP scanner or adapter
• PROFINet IO Device
• Modbus TCP slave
• EtherCAT slave
• HTTP Server
• FTP Server
• Telnet Server
• SMTP Client
Fieldbusses supported:
• Profibus master or slave
• DeviceNet scanner or adapter
• AS-interface master
• CANopen slave
• ControlNet adapter
• CC-Link slave
• Modbus RTU slave
• Modbus Plus slave
• Interbus slave
• FIPIO slave
Slave to Slave Gateway:
Many applications need to take two disparate independent networks with each having its own master control and allow them to exchange data. This happens where two PLCs need to exchange information. The X-gateway helps to accomplish this by acting as an I/O slave device on the fieldbus and Ethernet networks. Each master/client writes to the output table of the X-gateway on its network and then the X-gateway maps this data to the input table of the opposite fieldbus or Ethernet network where it can be easily read by the other master/client.
Master to Slave Gateway:
Many applications needs to interface field I/O devices to a controller that has a different fieldbus or Ethernet protocol from the I/O. In these cases, the X-gateway serves as a fieldbus or Ethernet master on one side while acting as a fieldbus or Ethernet slave on the other. The I/O data is polled from the field devices then mapped into the I/O table of the controller.

The 24 Volt hat rail module contains one PROFIBUS DP interface, four PROFINET IO RT interfaces as well as one RS232 service interface for commissioning and diagnostics.
The proxy integrates both existing and new PROFIBUS DP devices without any modification or adaptation into a PROFINET IO network. The PROFIBUS DP interface supports baud rates from 9.6 kbit/s to 12 Mbit/s.
The FNL Proxy PN/PB implements a plenty of PROFIBUS diagnostic functions as well as additional features, such as the configurable behaviour of the PROFIBUS DP Master in case of a break down of the PROFINET IO network or the detailed indication of error codes. Of course, it is also possible to combine several proxies.
COMSOFT‘s CONFIGURATOR II is available for compilation and download of the PROFIBUS configuration. The comfortable and full graphical tool compiles the PROFIBUS configuration via drag and drop mechanism. The integrated online mode allows direct commissioning and diagnostics of the connected PROFIBUS network via Ethernet.
The proxy implemented as PROFINET IO device and based on the Siemens ERTEC400 PROFINET IO controller supports PROFINET IO according to the current specification 2.0 and uses the modular mapping procedure. Input and output data as well as diagnostic data of the single DP Slaves are depicted through device modules (slots and sub-slots). Diagnostics are reported by a PROFINET IO alarm.
Furthermore SNMP diagnostics are included and the TFTP server based firmware update is supported.
