INTRODUCTION
This manual provides the information needed to apply the PMAC Gateway (PC ISA Version). A UMAC
compatible version is available and is covered in a separate manual. The PMAC Gateway provides a
high-speed interface to PMAC via PMAC’s JEXP (Expansion Port) interface. A cable is provided with
the PMAC Gateway.
There are two connectors located on the front of the Fieldbus Gateway card. The male DB9 connector is
the Diagnostic Connector and provides a RS232 link for the SyCon software. The second connector is
the Fieldbus Connector and it provides a means to connect to the fieldbus link. The form factor of this
connection is dependent on which fieldbus protocol is being used.
The PMAC Gateway ISA supports the following protocols:
 ProfiBus Master-Opt1 (Female DB9)
 ProfiBus Slave-Opt2 (Female DB9)
 DeviceNet Master-Opt3 (5-pin Terminal Block)
 DeviceNet Slave-Opt4 (5-pin Terminal Block)
 CANopen Master-Opt5 (Female DB9)
 CANopen Slave-Opt6 (Female DB9)
The protocol is dependent upon which hardware and therefore option is selected. The hardware cannot be
programmed for an alternate protocol including master/slave.
PMAC Gateway gets its power from the ISA (PC) bus. The DeviceNet version requires an external
24Vdc power supply for the fieldbus.
Applying the PMAC Gateway
There are ten steps in applying the PMAC Gateway:
1. Install the SyCon and PEWin software on the PC.
2. With the power off, install PMAC Gateway in the PC slot next to PMAC and connect the 50-pin
ribbon cable to JEXP.
3. Connect the PC to the PMAC Gateway card via a straight DB9 serial cable.
4. Launch the SyCon setup utility from the PC.
5. Establish communications to the PMAC Gateway card.
6. Configure the fieldbus and download it to the card. (The default PMAC Gateway configuration can
be used for testing.)
7. Assign PMAC M-Variables to represent fieldbus data and to communicate with the PMAC Gateway
8. Write a PMAC PLC using PMAC M-Variables to report data to the device and transfer data from the
device to the network.
9. Manually test by setting byte values in PMAC, verifying that they get to the appropriate fieldbus
location. Also, check communication from the fieldbus to PMAC.
10. Implement the assigned M-Variables in PLCs or motion programs as required. (Appendix A provides
a reprinted version of the SyCon Manual. Appendix B and C provide examples for M-Variable
assignment and PLC implementation.)
SyCon is provided with the PMAC Gateway under license. PEWin32 is a Delta Tau product and
normally is purchased with the first PMAC.
Introduction 1
Accessory 73
Fieldbus Connection Hints

 Use approved cable.
 Use approved connectors.
 Make sure that terminating resistors are installed in the Master and the last Slave.
 Confirm the slave Node address to prevent conflicts.
 Provide 24Vdc to power the DeviceNet network.
 Provide DC power to each slave as specified by the device manufacturer.
 Document the configuration.
SyCon Configuration
SyCon is a universal fieldbus configuration tool developed by Hilscher Corporation that is used to
configure the PMAC Gateway. Delta Tau has licensed SyCon and it is provided as part of the PMAC
Gateway product. The Hilscher license agreement, which will be presented during the installation
process, still applies.
SyCon can configure fieldbus systems like ProfiBus, DeviceNet, and CANopen, along with Interbus,
SDS, etc. This is useful because then Sycon becomes a common tool that provides consistent user
interface for all protocols for both masters and slaves.
SyCon checks the dependencies between the devices, checks for configuration conflicts and warns of
possible errors. Some protocols support standardized files containing information about all features and
limitations of the slave device. SyCon uses these files for the configuration.
After the configuration, switch SyCon into a diagnostic mode. In diagnostic mode, watch all status
information of devices connected to the network. For example, the node list or slave diagnostic
information can be seen. If a slave is not operating correctly, it will be displayed in a different color,
normally red.
System Requirements
 PC with 486 Pentium processor or higher
 Windows 95 / 98 / NT / ME / XP / 2000
 Free disk space: minimum 10 MB
 RAM: minute 16 MB
 Graphic resolution: 800 x 600 pixel or greater
 Floppy disk 1.44M or CDRom
Installation Procedure
1. Insert the CD provided with PMAC Gateway into the CD drive.
2. Run SyCon.exe.
3. Follow the instructions as presented by the installation program.
4. Reboot the system after the installation process is complete.
5. Start Sycon.
6. Select a fieldbus.
7. Install the Master.
8. Install the Slave devices.
9. Test the Slave devices.
2 Introduction
Accessory 73
THEORY OF OPERATION
The PMAC Gateway ISA board is organized as a motherboard/daughter board system. The motherboard
contains the ISA interface, JEXP (Expansion) interface, diagnostics, and the fieldbus connections. The
daughter boards contain the intelligence and the interface electronics required for each fieldbus. There is
a different daughter board for each fieldbus.
A micro controller on the daughter board implements each fieldbus communications protocol. Fieldbus
data is transferred to/from the fieldbus and placed in a dual-ported RAM (memory) on the daughter board.
The structure of this DPRAM is given later in this manual and is common for all the fieldbuses supported.
There are two different DPRAMs used, a 2K-byte device and an 8K-byte device.
The PMAC side of the DPRAM is interfaced to the JEXP (Expansion) interface. PMAC programs access
the fieldbus data by reading or writing data to memory addresses corresponding to the location of the
PMAC Gateway ISA board’s DPRAM.
PMAC Gateway Version DPRAM Size
ProfiBus Master 2k bytes
ProfiBus Slave 2k bytes
CANopen Master 8k bytes
CANopen Slave 8k bytes
DeviceNet Master 8k bytes
DeviceNet Slave 2k bytes
The understanding of the PMAC Gateway is best approached by considering the PMAC side and the
Fieldbus side separately. A detailed discussion of each follows. Figure 1 shows a simplified view of the
dual-ported RAM interface between the PMAC Gateway and the PMAC interface.
Figure 1: PMAC Gateway DPRAM Interface

Once the PMAC Gateway is configured, it is a two-step process to read or write data to or from the
fieldbus via a PMAC PLC:
1. Set the start address offset in PMAC Gateway’s DPRAM by writing a value into PMAC Gateway’s
memory pointer mailbox (example: m1000=512).
2. Read input data or write output data to the fieldbus through PMAC Gateway’s data mailbox memory
location. (Example: m1001=m950 to affect outputs or m900=m1001 to read inputs.)
Theory of Operation 3
Accessory 73
JEXP Interface
On the PMAC side, the key to understanding how to use the PMAC Gateway is to understand the JEXP
interface. PMAC’s JEXP (Expansion) interface provides address, data and control signals from PMAC to
peripheral devices. This is a fast 24-bit data path to and from PMAC. One of the limitations of the
interface however is the amount of address space provided.
There are not enough address lines available on this interface to directly map all of the fieldbus data into
PMAC memory. In order to solve the address limitation, a mailbox approach was implemented. All
fieldbus data is communicated to PMAC via a simple 8-bit mailbox. At first glance, it may appear that
moving the fieldbus data through one simple 8-bit memory location creates an unacceptable bottleneck.
This is not the case. This interface is very fast. Fast interface hardware, coupled with PMAC’s fast DSP
and proper software techniques makes for fast operation. Moving 100 bytes of input data and 100 bytes
of output data between PMAC and the PMAC Gateway occurs in less than ½ millisecond with the
slowest PMAC.
From PMAC’s point of view, the PMAC Gateway occupies two memory (I/O) locations. These locations
consist of a Memory Pointer Mailbox and a Data Mailbox. The Memory Pointer Mailbox is where
PMAC sets the starting address in PMAC Gateway’s DPRAM. The Data Mailbox is where PMAC gets
the data stored at the memory location pointed to by the data in the Memory Pointer Mailbox.
Note:
These locations must be mapped as 24 bit M-Variables.
The PMAC Gateway contains circuitry that increments the memory pointer set in the Memory Pointer
Mailbox after a read or write of the Data Mailbox. PMAC only has to set the memory pointer at the
beginning of a data transfer sequence if the DPRAM bytes of interest are in contiguous memory locations.
Memory Pointer Mailbox
A Memory Pointer Mailbox is used to set the starting address at which to read or write fieldbus data.
Hardware on the PMAC Gateway increments these addresses after each read or write of data.
Figure 2 depicts the Memory Pointer Mailbox as M1000. If m1000=0 then the starting address of data
acquired through the Data Mailbox will be 0 offset in PMAC Gateway’s dual-ported RAM.
Figure 2: Setting PMAC Gateway’s DPRAM Start Address

The PMAC Gateway has in its dual-ported memory an area for send process data (slave inputs) and
receive process data (slave outputs). The data in these memory locations is transferred to/from PMAC via
a Data Mailbox register.
4 Theory of Operation
Accessory 73
Data Mailbox
Figures 3 and 4 depict the transfer of data from PMAC to the PMAC Gateway. Note the following things
about these figures:
1. The Data Mailbox (M1001) is defined as a 24-bit unsigned integer.
2. The data transferred between PMAC and the fieldbus are always eight bit integers. This is true
regardless of the eventual meaning of the data. PMAC Gateway supports many functions including
analog I/O, which is signed word oriented. In the case of word oriented I/O, the data is transferred in
two read or write cycles as LSB, MSB.
3. PMAC Gateway incorporates an auto-increment feature to speed up the process of transferring data to
or from PMAC and the fieldbus. The auto increment circuitry in PMAC Gateway bumps the memory
pointer by one location following a data transfer through the Data Mailbox. This is why at first
glance the PMAC programs (refer to figure 3 and 4) appear to be reading or writing to the same
memory location.
Reading Incoming Data
Receive process data is moved from the fieldbus to PMAC in the following manner. Typical meanings of
this data are: digital outputs controlled by PMAC, speed or position reference data from the host, mode
commands, etc.
Figure: 3 Moving Fieldbus Output Data to PMAC from PMAC Gateway
Reporting Input Status

Reporting data to the fieldbus from PMAC is accomplished in the following manner. The meaning of the
data is up to the user. Typical functions may be digital or analog input data obtained by PMAC needed
by the host. Position, velocity and status of motors may be another typical use.

Since there are two CPUs trying to access the data in the PMAC Gateway’s DPRAM (PMAC and the
Fieldbus), there must be a mechanism to handle the situation when both want access at the same time.
Hardware on the PMAC Gateway prevents collisions from causing problems.
When PMAC Gateway is set to Uncontrolled as it is by default, only the hardware mechanism for
DPRAM access is enabled. This guarantees Byte consistency only. This is the simplest method and in
most systems, works well. Since access by PMAC is very fast, usually there are no problems.
By setting this parameter to Buffered, PMAC Controlled, a mechanism is enabled that allows PMAC to
control the transfer of process data. PMAC can write all its data into the DPRAM of the PMAC Gateway
board and then cause it to be made available to the fieldbus, thus guaranteeing Word consistency.
By setting this parameter to Buffered, PMAC Gateway Controlled, a mechanism is enabled that allows
the PMAC Gateway to control the transfer of process data.

Accessory 73
Process Data Transfer Modes

Uncontrolled (Asynchronous)
PMAC and PMAC Gateway read and write the DPRAM asynchronously. Hardware on the PMAC
Gateway prevents DPRAM conflicts. If the total data transfer over the fieldbus for this node is more than
the fieldbus can transmit in one network cycle, then this data transfer mode guarantees only byte
consistency in the data which may be acceptable under many circumstances.
The Com bit in the Host Flags location is set as soon as the data exchange over the fieldbus occurs. For
each valid fieldbus cycle, the PMAC Gateway does an updating data exchange with the process data
buffers of the dual-ported memory, ignoring the states of the PdAck and PdCom bits in the Host Flags
and DevFlags.
10 DPRAM Memory Map

Accessory 73
PMAC changes the send process data or read receive process data anytime, without using the PdAck and
PdCom bits synchronization mechanism. Therefore, this operating mode realizes the simplest method to
transfer the process data, but only byte consistency for interrelated data is guaranteed.
Buffered, Controlled by PMAC
each valid fieldbus cycle, the PMAC Gateway does an updating data exchange with two internal buffers.
By inverting the PdCom bit in DevFlags, the transfer from the dual-port memory data to the internal
buffers is activated by the program.
The PMAC Gateway communicates its access by adjusting the state of the bit PdAck to the state of the
PdCom bit. Therefore, the PdCom and PdAck bits become equal and the PMAC Gateway gets back its
access rights to the dual-port memory buffers.
In this operating mode, bus cycles and dual-ported memory data exchange are not coupled, so delay time
arises in the worst case up to two bus cycles because a running bus cycle must have finished before an
access to internal buffers can be started.
Buffered, Controlled by PMAC Gateway
each valid fieldbus bus cycle, the PMAC Gateway does an updating data exchange with two internal
buffers. If the PMAC Gateway has the access directly to the process data areas of the dual-ported
memory (i.e. the PdAck and PdCom bits are equal), an exchange between the internal buffers and the
dual-ported memory is executed. The end of the exchange is indicated to PMAC by inverting the PdAck
bit of the Host Flags. Therefore, the PdAck and PdCom bits become unequal and the program gets the
access on both data buffers.
If the program has finished its work on the process-data area, it has received access by inverting the
PdCom bit of the DevFlags. The states of the PdAck and PdCom bits are equal and the PMAC Gateway
gets back the access to the process data of the dual-ported memory.

PROFIBUS
Profibus represents one of the best-known industrial FieldBus protocols from Europe. Profibus can be
used in a very wide range of applications as a multi-application communications link for industrial
devices, as well as cell-level communication. Profibus is an established standard, first introduced in 1989.
The Profibus protocol was originally developed by the committee founded by the German government.
The resulting protocol was initially adopted as DIN standard 19245 and was then adopted as a European
Common Standard EC50170. Profibus connects to a wide variety of field devices including discrete and
analog I/O, drives, robots, MMI products, pneumatic valves, barcode readers, weigh scales, transducers,

Configuring the Slave for Profibus

Insert a slave onto the bus by using the Insert Slave icon in the toolbar menu. Select DP Slave Settings
from the dialog box. The dialog box below should display. It contains all the communications setting
options. The settings shown are the ones set at the time the PMAC Gateway was shipped, and should be
sufficient for most applications.
Repeating the process but selecting Slave Configuration will result in the screen shown below. The
primary purpose of this screen is to define the type of data being communicated to/from the master and
the PMAC Gateway. The table in the middle of the screen contains all the possible settings for inputs
(Send Process Data) and outputs (Receive Process Data). The lower table displays the current
configuration. 184 bytes of input and output were configured when the PMAC Gateway was tested at the
factory. This is sufficient for many applications. If more or less is needed, delete the current setup by
selecting the element to change and selecting Remove Module. Select the new configuration from the
middle table and select Append Module.

Downloading the Slave Configuration for Profibus

Once the configuration has been completed, it must be downloaded to the PMAC Gateway where it will
be saved in flash memory. Downloading also saves the configuration in the PMAC Gateway.
With the slave selected as the actual slave, select the Online-Download option in the menu. If
communication has not been established, a Driver Select window will appear. Choose CIF Serial Driver
and establish communication through the COM port.
Repeat the process for the master.
Testing and Monitoring the PMAC Gateway for Profibus

Once the hardware has been configured, test the system to ensure that the fieldbus is working properly
and that data sent by the fieldbus Master is received by PMAC and data sent by PMAC is received by the
Master. The diagnostic LEDs and the online menu in SyCon are useful tools to determine if the system is
working.
The online menu has many useful items. First, explore the I/O monitor function. Once the PMAC
Gateway is configured, manually change the Send Process Data and see if the master receives it and
monitors the Receive Process Data from the master.
Next, ensure that Send Process Data changed by a PMAC PLC makes it to the master. If writing,
downloading and executing a PMAC PLC program similar to the one in Appendix C, and the appropriate
bytes change in the PMAC Gateway and in the Master can be seen, the Send Process Data has been
checked.
Finally, change data in the Master that becomes Receive Process Data in the PMAC Gateway, and verify
that the appropriate M-Variables in PMAC are changed to correctly reflect the values sent by the master.

DEVICENET
DeviceNet is a low cost communications link that connects industrial devices to a network and eliminates
expensive hardwiring. It is based on a broadcast-oriented communications protocol called the Controller
Area Network (CAN). The CAN protocol was originally developed by Bosch for the European
automotive market for replacing expensive wiring harnesses with low cost network cable on automobiles.
The CAN interface and protocol has fast response and high reliability for applications such as controlling
anti-lock brakes and airbags.
 DeviceNet utilizes a powered four-wire network.
 It can transfer up to eight bytes of data per node per communication cycle.
 Communication rates are configurable as indicated below:
 125 Kbps with maximum distance of 500 meters
 Although multiple masters are possible, a DeviceNet network usually consists of one master and

the slave appears in the right list box. All devices in this box will be connected to the active master who
is displayed in the window. If selecting the slaves individually, give every device a name or a short
description in the Description field.
With the addition of every slave, the MAC ID is incremented, but this valve can be changed manually in
the MAC ID field.
DeviceNet Slave Configuration
The slave specific configuration is set in this window. Assign the modules and their data to addresses for
the process data image in the master device. Remember that these addresses correspond to the application
in the PC.
Assign the addresses of the module data in the process image for each module in the lower table. This is
set in the columns Type and Addr for input and output separately.
The I/O address can be entered manually or set automatically by SyCon using the Auto Addressing flag,
which must be set in the Master Settings window.
Caution:
If Watchdog Control is switched off, it is possible that the slave will not reset slave
outputs, even though the communication is broken.
Downloading the Configuration to PMAC Gateway

Use the Online - Download menu to download the configuration data to the device.
Before the download happens, SyCon will check the configuration. If any error message appears, the
configuration should be checked. Most errors are overlapping addresses which can be located by looking
at the Address Table. This can be avoided by keeping Auto Addressing enabled.
The configuration will be transmitted to the selected device and stored in static Flash memory, so that it is
available after the power is switched off and on in this device.

Accessory 73
DeviceNet Debugging
After an actual master has been selected, start the debug mode. From this time, SyCon requests the status
of all slaves of the actual master. If there is an error on a slave, the bus line to this slave is drawn in red.
Otherwise, it is green. In addition, SyCon displays the Diag message if the slave signals diagnostic
information. This information is displayed by clicking with the mouse at the corresponding device in
debug mode.
To activate the debug mode, select Online - Start Debug Mode. The Online - Device Diagnostic menu
activates the DP slave diagnostic. To end the Debug Mode, select Online - Stop Debug Mode.
DeviceNet Auto Network Scan
The current version of Sycon and PMAC Gateway firmware supports automatic network scan. Once the
Master is configured, choose Automatic Network Scan from the Online pull down menu. The Master
(PMAC Gateway) will poll the slave devices from the lowest MACID to the highest. Once the scan is
finished, it will display a list of devices that it found. To accept this configuration, select Automatic
Configuration from the dialog box. Typically, the chosen connection is polling so it should be changed
in the Chosen Config. Column before it is accepted.
Download the new configuration to the master to establish communication. Usually, this is the easiest
way to get a network up and running.

CANOPEN
CANopen is a network concept based on the serial bus system Controller Area Network (CAN) and the
CAN Application Layer (CAL). Developed originally for passenger cars, the CAN two-wire bus system is
already in use in over one million industrial control devices, sensors and actuators. Hallmarks of the
internationally standardized bus system (ISO 11898) are its simplicity, high transmission reliability and
extremely short reaction times. Many major semiconductor manufacturers sell CAN chips, and the fact
that millions of them are used in automobiles guarantees low chip prices and long-term availability.
CANopen permits both cyclic and event-controlled communication. This makes it possible to reduce the
busload to a minimum and achieve high communication performance at relatively low baud rates.
In CANopen, timing behavior can be adapted individually to the particular tasks of the stations involved.
This means it is not essential for the entire communication system to have higher performance if it is only
required by certain participants. In addition, an automation task may be divided up among several
CANopen participants to make optimum use of the power of control devices already in the network, and
this can be increased gradually by additional participants.
CANopen allows the creation of inexpensive de-centralized control systems, distributed input/output
systems, and networked sensor/actuator systems.

Overview
SyCon is a universal fieldbus configuration tool developed by Hilscher Corp., which we are
initially using to configure the PmacGate-Way. SyCon can configure the fieldbus systems like
ProfiBus, Interbus, SDS, DeviceNet, CANopen, etc. with a common tool that provides consistent
user interface for all protocols.
SyCon allows you to configure all master and slave devices using one tool. SyCon checks the
dependencies between the devices, checks for configuration conflicts and warns you of possible
errors. Some protocols support standardized files containing information about all features
and limitations of the slave device. SyCon uses these files for the configuration.
After the configuration, you can switch SyCon into a diagnostic mode. In diagnostic mode, you
can watch all status information of devices connected to the network. For example, you can
see the node list or slave diagnostic information. If a slave is not operating correctly it will be
displayed in a different color, normally red.
SyCon consists of a universal.exe - file and several specific protocol DLLs. Most customers
will use SyCon for only one bus system however SyCon can be expanded later by adding one or
more DLLs for other available protocols.

5.0 Configuration ProfiBus DP with SyCon
SyCon helps you to configure your ProfiBus DP system quickly & easily.
Follow these steps:
1. First select the fieldbus system and create a new file. Select the File-New-
ProfiBus menu item. SyCon will start the configuration mode and opens
the window for the bus. Insert all the Masters that you will have on the
bus. If you do not find your Master in the list choose Unknown FMS
Master, Unknown DP Master, or Unknown Combi Master ProfiBus-DP
2. First you have to insert the DP slaves and assign them to their master.
The next step is to configure these DP slaves with the actual I/O modules,
and their parameter data. Be sure that you have selected the right
addressing mode.
3. Save your configuration. Select the board as actual device, which you
want to configure and download(s) to all the CIF devices. Connect the bus
cable, and test the communications using the I/O-Monitor for DP, and the
FMS Monitor for FMS.
4. Finally, print out the documentation of your ProfiBus system.
GSD Files
Each ProfiBus-DP manufacturer uses standard device description files to define the ProfiBus-
DP device on the network. These definitions are called GSD files. The set of device
description files (GSD file) build the device database.
All possible devices the configuration or GSD files must be in the GSD directory during the
startup of the SyCon software. If you need another GSD file during SyCon runtime you have to
copy this file with the File - Copy GSD menu item.
Note: You need GSD files only for ProfiBus-DP.
The GSD directory path is changeable. To modify it from the default to an another path use
the Settings – Path menu. All GSD files have to be present in this directory for SyCon to
recognize the device.

Accessory 73
Selecting a fieldbus system and creating a new file
At the beginning of a design, you must create a new configuration file, which is done in the File

Bus Parameter
The bus parameter is normally the baud rate of the fieldbus network, which is determined by
the master controller. Each fieldbus has a set of different baud rate options.
In a ProfiBus-DP system, the only parameter, which is required, is the baud rate. The baud
rate of the ProfiBus is common for all bus nodes. Changing the baud rate causes all other
parameters to be re-calculated. The System Configurator checks that all configured devices
based on the information in the GSD file support the baud rate.
If the System Configurator finds at least one device in the configuration that does not support
the selected baud rate an error message appears, because this information is missing in the
device description file. The user can check the actual parameter, if he opens the Actual Bus
Parameter window with the Edit button. Some of the parameters can be changed individually.
Please note if you make any changes in the bus parameters the parameter for the Optimize
field must be changed from by SyCon to by User.
Caution: Changing the bus parameter can stop the communications
The Highest Station Address is the highest bus address up to which the master will search for
another active master station to transfer the send permission. This value should not be set
below the master address.
The field Watchdog control / TTR allows the user to enter a factor to control the watchdog
time of the slaves. If this factor is chosen to large, it is possible that the slaves could set their
outputs to Zero .
With the Auto Clear flag it is possible to select a global error flag. The Master controls the
process data transfer for the slaves with a timer. If the data transfer is not successful during
one data control time interval with activated option Auto clear modus on, then the Master
leaves the user data transfer and switches the outputs of all assigned slaves to the fail-safe
state.

Accessory 73
Master Settings
To enter the master settings select the Settings - Master Settings menu or use the right
mouse button at a DP master device. There is also a Master Settings button in the Master
Configuration window available.
The Master settings contain parameters, which defines the behavior of the PMAC
GatewayDPRAM.
Startup behavior after system initialization
If Automatic release of the communication by the device is selected, the master starts with
the data transfer on the bus when initialization is finished. If Controlled release of the
communication by the application program is selected, the user has to start the data
transfer on the bus, by a defined release procedure.
User program monitoring
The watchdog time appointed how long the device will wait for a user trigger of the watchdog,
upon a watchdog all outputs are set. This procedure must be activated by the user application
software and is not started automatically.

Accessory 73
Addressing mode
The addressing mode of the process data is how to interpret the addresses of the process
image. There are the possibilities Byte addresses or Word addresses. For performance
reasons the PMAC Gatewayworks internally with word structures. Therefore if you have
configured the Byte address mode, the data for the slaves modules starts on even addresses.
Storage formats (word module)
The storage format fixes the format, how the data is placed and interpreted in the process
images. For data types, the Little Endian format and Big Endian format can be selected.
Handshake of the process data
Different modes of handshaking the process data can be selected for the master. The selection
of this mode is important for the correct data exchange between the application and the device.
Hardware parameter
With this parameter you select the size of the dual-ported memory of the hardware. The
parameter will enlarge or reduce the possible value ranges for the I/O offsets.
Addressing mode
The addresses in the configuration data of the devices determine the starting points of the
corresponding data in the process image.
Byte address The process image has a byte structure and every byte has its own address.
Word address The process image has a word structure and every word has its own address.
This has nothing to do with the physical data size of the dual-ported memory, which is always
byte oriented! The following table shows how the different data types in the process image in

Insert Slave
To insert a new slave in the configuration select the Slave item in the menu Insert. Click on
that position, where you want to insert the new slave. A dialog box appears where you have to
select one or more slaves.
In the left list box there are listed all slave devices which are presented in the GSD directory. If
there are too many you can set a filter to select only a special slave family or vendor. When one
slave is selected, you can see additional information about the slave in the list box below. With
a double click or with the Add button the slave appears in the right list box. All devices in this
box will be connected to the active master who is displayed in the window. If you select the
slaves individually, you can give every device a name or a short description in the description
field.
With the addition of every slave the station address is incremented, but this valve can be
changed manually in the Station address field.
Slave configuration
The slave specific configuration is done in this window. Here you have to assign the modules
and their data to addresses for the process data image in the master device. Remember that
these addresses correspond to your application in the PC.

Accessory 73
There are two types of slaves. A simple slave, which has a fixed data length, and a modular
slave, which has variable, date length and is configurable. This type of slave can be
understood as an assembly of one or more simple slaves with one bus address.
The upper table contains all available modules of the slave device. In the case of a simple slave
there is only one module, which is already copied, into the lower table automatically by SyCon.
If it is a modular slave, the user must do this with a double click on the module or selected
module or by clicking on the Append Module button. If a module has several inputs or
outputs, then it gets more lines in the configuration table. These additional lines will be
assigned with a higher index in the Idx column.
To configure the modules of the slave do the following steps:
If not already present, select all modules from the upper table and insert them in the lower
table. The sequence of the modules in the lower list is important and must correspond to the
real physical slave configuration.
Assign the addresses of the module data in the process image for each module in the lower
table. This is done in the columns Type and Addr for input and output separately.
The I/O address can be entered by the user or set automatically by SyCon using
the Auto Addressing flag, which must be set in the Master Settings window.
If the flag is active SyCon will place all I/O data offsets in physical order. This is done during
the download procedure and the assigned addresses can be checked in the Address Table.
If the addresses are entered manually the default address 0 in the field I Addr. O Addr must be
overwritten by the user. Depending on the Addressing mode in the DP Master Settings the
addresses are byte addresses or word addresses. This is described in the chapter Addressing
mode. The DP-Slaves use the Watchdog Control flag to detect communication errors of their
assigned DP master. If a DP slave recognizes an interrupted communication to his master
during a defined watchdog timer interval, when he was operational once, he resets himself and
sets his outputs into a safe zero state.
Caution: If Watchdog Control is switched off, it is

possible that the slave will not reset slave outputs, even though
the communication is broken.

Accessory 73
DP Slave Settings
The DP Slave settings contain parameters, which define the behavior of the PMAC interface. To
enter the DP slave settings select at first the slave than open the window with the menu
Settings - DP Slave Settings.
User program monitoring
The watchdog time appointed how long the device will wait for a user trigger of the watchdog,
until it resets all outputs to zero. This must be activated from the application.
Configuration mode
If the slave device should take the parameter out of the configuration which is downloaded
from SyCon then you must select for the Configuration mode the mode Configuration by
SyCon. If the configuration is written in the dual-ported memory from the application then you
must select Configuration by application.
Handshake of the process data
With these different modes, the handshake of the process data is selected for the master. The
selection of this mode is important for the correct data exchange between the application and
the device.

Accessory 73
Startup behavior after system initialization
If Automatic release of the communication by the device is selected, the slave is ready to
communicate with the master when started. If Controlled release of the communication by
the application program is selected, the user has to start the communication with the master.
Board Assignment
SyCon is able to configure all devices in a network. To run the online functions of such a
device you must define how SyCon can communicate with it. This is done in the menu item
Board Assignment. You have the choice between four boards, which are installed internally in
the PC and four devices, which are connected with the serial port to the PC.
SyCon looks in the registry of the device driver and displays all boards that are available
internally.
The externally connection can be checked with the buttons Check COM 1 to Com 4. SyCon
sends a request on that serial port and asked for the firmware. If there is a device connected
the firmware is displayed otherwise there will be a time-out error.
Now you can assign the configured devices to the boards and to the serial ports. If the
assignment for one device is done, it is no longer available in the select list for a further
assignment. Therefore if you want to change an assignment, you have to select No device
instead of a device, before you can get the device in the selection list for or other board or serial
port.
Viewing, Printing and Saving Your Configuration

View Device Table The list of devices is displayed with the menu item View - Device Table.
Address Table To display the list of salve addresses use the menu item View - Address
Table. Select the master as actual master to display its’ address table.
CRL Table (ProfiBus) Display the Communication Reference List.
OD Table (Profibus) The Object Directory is displayed with the menu item View
- OD Table.
Print After you have selected the actual printer with the menu item Print
Setup you can print out the configuration with the menu item Print. If
you want to have a preview of the print before printing you can use the
function Print Preview.
Save You can save the configuration with the menu item Save if the file
name is known otherwise you must use the function Save as with a
new file name.

Accessory 73
Downloading the Configuration to PmacGate-Way

The download of the configuration data to the device can be started with the menu Online -
Download.
At first you have to select the desired device, so that it is signed with a blue frame around it.
This is done with the function Actual Master in the window Master Configuration or with the
function Select as actual master in the menu which appears if you click with the right mouse
button on a master device.
Before the download happens, SyCon will check the configuration. If there appears any error
message, the configuration should be checked. Most errors are overlapping addresses, which
can be located by looking into the Address Table.
The configuration will be transmitted to the selected device and stored in static FLASH
memory, so that it is available after the power is switched off and on in this device.

Accessory 73
Debugging
Debug Mode and Device Diagnostic
After you have selected an actual master, you can start the debug mode. From this time,
SyCon requests the status of all slaves of the actual master. If there is an error on a slave the
bus line to this slave is drawn in red otherwise it is green. SyCon also display the Diag
message, if the slave signals diagnostic information. This information is displayed if you click
with the mouse at the corresponding device in debug mode.
To activate the debug mode select the menu Online - Start Debug Mode. The menu Online -
Device Diagnostic activates the DP slave diagnostic. To end the Debug Mode select the menu
Online - Stop Debug Mode.
Device Diagnostic Descriptions:
Master_Lock The slave has been parameterized by another master. DP master (class
1) sets this bit, when the address is unequal to 255 and unequal to the
own address.
Param_Fault This bit is set by the slave, when the last parameter telegram has an
error, for example wrong length, wrong Ident_Number, invalid
parameter.
Invalid_Slave_Resp This bit is set by the master, when the master has received an invalid
answer from the slave.
Not_Supported This bit is set by the slave, when a function is asked to be performed
but does the slave does not support.
Ext_Diag This bit is set by the slave. If the bit is set, then there is diagnostic
information in the slave-specific diagnostic area (EXT_DIAG_DATA).
Cfg_Fault This bit is set by the slave, when the configuration data is not unequal.
Station_Not_Rdy This bit is set by the slave, when the slave is not ready for data
exchange.
Station_Non_Existent This bit is set by the master, if this slave is not reachable on the bus. If
this bit is set, the diagnostic bits holds the state of the last diagnostic
information or the initial values.

Accessory 73
Diag.Deactivated This bit is set by the master, when the slave in the slave parameter set is
not marked as active and is take out of the cyclic processing.
Diag.Sync_Mode This bit is set by the slave, when he has received the sync-control
command.
Diag.Freeze_Mode This bit is set by the slave, when he has received the freeze-control
command.
Diag.WD_ON This bit is set by the slave, when its watchdog control is active.
Diag.Stat_Diag If the slave sets this bit, the master has to collect diagnostic information
as long as this bit is active. The slave sets this bit for example when
there are no valid user data. If the bit Diag.Prm_Req and the bit
Diag.Stat_Diag are set, the bit Diag.Prm_Req has the higher priority.
Diag_Prm_Req If the slave sets this bit, a new parameterization has to be performed.
This bit is set as long as no new parameterization has been performed.
This bit is set from the slave.
Ext_Diag_Overflow If this bit is set, there are more diagnostic information as in

EXT_DIAG_DATA given. The DP-slave set this bit for example if there are
more channel information as the slave can hold in its send buffer; or the
master set this bit, when the DP-slave send more diagnostic information,
as the master can hold in its diagnostic buffer.
Diag.Master_Add In this octet the address of the master is entered, which has done the
parameterization of the this slave. If the salve is not parameterized from
any master, the slave put the address 255 (FF) into this octet.
Ident Code The identifier of the manufacturer is reserved for every participant. This
identifier can be used for checks or can be used for an exact
identification.

Accessory 73
I/O Monitor
This is a simple tool, which allows displaying and entering at the first 32 bytes of the process
image.
FMS Monitor (Profibus FMS)
This tool allows starting a ProfiBus-FMS service based on the configured objects and
communication references. You must select on of the service Read or Write and the parameter
in the select list. If it is a write, the output data are entered in the Value field. The service is
activated with the button Send. At the left side of the window appears the confirmation.
Task States
Task states are online counters, values, parameters and states that can be displayed. Several
task states are available. The Online - Task State menu activates a list of available
structures. The listed structures can be displayed to show the values.

APPENDIX B — RECOMMENDED M VARIABLE DEFINITIONS

AND EXAMPLE PLC
This is an example of a simple system in which there are 16 bytes of input data and 16 bytes of output
data to communicate from PMAC to a Master fieldbus device.
 The inputs and outputs are mapped in contiguous locations within PMAC Gateway’s DPRAM.
 The I/O is updated asynchronously to PMAC. (Only byte consistency with PMAC)
 The I/O processing happens all within this PLC.
The example in this manual is for non-Turbo PMACs only. For a Turbo PMAC, the addresses, timers,
and M-Variables are different. The structure of the PLC is still the same. In addition, there are jumper
changes on the PMAC Gateway when using a Turbo PMAC (E3=2-3 E4=1-2).
MDefs
In this example, it is assumed that a user buffer has been created in PMAC for the storage of the MDEFS
needed to implement the I/O processing between PMAC and the PMAC Gateway.
Note:
The address pointer and data mailbox registers must be defined as 24 bit integers.
The locations shown represent the default locations for a PMAC as set by jumpers
on PMACGateway. These variables can never be used directly as synchronous M-
Variables in a motion program or a PLC.
Define the Pointers to the Mail Boxes
First possible location for the PMAC Gateway (E2A ON – default jumper settings):
m1000->Y:$FFD0,0,24,U ; Address pointer
m1001->Y:$FFD1,0,24,U ; Data Mail box register
If the E2 jumper is set to another value other than default, these addresses must be changed.
Address Pointer Offsets
Outputs begin at offset 0 (decimal)
Inputs begin at offset 512 (decimal)
Define Memory Locations for the Output Bytes (Send Process Data)
m901->Y:$09C19,0,8,u ; OutputByte1 (Send Process Data)
