VBG-PB-G4F-R4AS-Interface professional gateway Technical data Function
General specifications
The VBG-PB-G4F-R4 is a complete PROFI-BUS slave with an IP67 rating designed foruse in the field. The G4 field housing of the
Profibus gateway offers all the advan-tages of the serial master in this design.The VBG-PB-G4F-R4 is a modular PROFI-BUS slave. This means that the user can usethe PROFIBUS configuration tool to specifywhat data will be transferred via the PROFI-BUS. This makes it possible to adjust theamount of data to be transferred via PROFI-BUS.
In addition, this gateway supports acyclicalcommunication of the PROFIBUSDPV1.These acyclical services can be used toaccess a mailbox in the gateway that provideaccess to all the data that are made availableby the AS-Interface/PROFIBUS Gateway.Two push buttons are used for addressassignment, acceptance of the desired con-figuration and for adjustment of the PROFI-
BUS address and baud rate. In configurationmode, all detected AS-Interface slaves aredisplayed on the 2-digit LCD. In normal oper-
ation, the LCD is blank unless the masterdetects a faulty AS-Interface slave. There are7LEDs on the front panel, showing the cur-rent status of the AS-Interface line.

VAZ-SW-ACT32 Full version of the AS-i Control Tools
The device is supplied with the configuration data files (GSD) as well as a restricted version ofthe AS-i Control Tools software. The software performs the addressing, programming andmonitoring of the AS-Interface network. The full version of the AS-i Control Tool is availableas an accessory and features an expanded diagnostics professional monitor as well as a larger programmemory for AS-Interface Control which makes it possible to detect faulty telegrams of slaves.A GSD file can be easily created for the PROFIBUSDP using the GSD assistant, wherebythe size of the I/O windows can be conveniently adapted to the AS-Interface circuit's load andthe AS-Interface configuration can be stored within the GSD file. A text file is also created,which documents the status of AS-Interface data in the gateway's I/O window.
