Between the UNIGATE and a component via one of the serial interfaces. When using the RS485-interface several terminal units can be linked and addressed specifically at the corresponding protocol (e. g. Modbus RTU-Master). Components 1-n Component BUS BUS Serial side RS232, RS422, RS485 Status-LEDs and rotary coding switches for the serial side Standard DIN-rail module Bus side:only CANopenand Profibus Status-LEDs androtary coding switchesfor the Bus side Bus side complying with the standard or market standard (connecting plug at CANopen and Profibus up front) >

You are rather inflexible with the usual configuration tools for Protocol Converters and Gateways and you have to stick to standard specifications. Adapting the Firmware to a certain protocol or observing a fixed way of proceeding is unwanted or too extensive, particularly in case of an existing software. Subsequent changes and customized adaptations are hardly pos-sible. A profound knowledge of the buses is partially expected. For that reason the Deutschmann Script language came into being in the year 1999 already. Our customer only has to pro-cess the data of the bus and he does not have...

On the right side of the window (picture 1) you see a Script, that shows the simple structure of the syntax. The Protocol Developer is meant as a tool for an easy generation of a Script for our Script Gateways. Its operation is exactly aimed at this use. Typical for Windows Script commands can be added by means of the mouse or the keyboard. As far as defined and required for the corresponding command, the dialog to the corresponding command is displayed, and after entering the values the right text is automatically added to the Script. > After the Script was generated it is compiled. The...

For each Script command the scope of deli-very of the free PROTOCOL DEVELOPER also includes a commented example Script. More support is available from our free Hotline and on our website the current ver- sions of our instruction manuals and the software tools are also available free of charge (www.deutschmann.de). > Picture 7: Extensive library for example Scripts No changes required in your own Firmware > Flexible and powerful Script language; especially generated for the bus communication > Easy to handle.
