UNIGATE IC

Product catalog summary
Overview: The UNIGATE® IC by Deutschmann is a versatile bus node designed to integrate Fieldbus and Ethernet interfaces into devices with minimal development effort. It supports multiple protocols, including ETHERNET TCP/IP and Modbus-RTU, within a compact housing.
Specifications: The device features a microcontroller, Flash, RAM, bus-chip, optocoupler, and bus driver. It can connect to a terminal equipment's microprocessor or operate independently, supporting all bus speeds and offering a standardized interface for easy version exchangeability.
Functionality: The UNIGATE® IC processes data traffic, reducing the load on the terminal equipment processor. Protocol conversion is handled via a Script using the free "Protocol Developer" tool, which allows for flexible data processing without firmware changes.
Applications: Ideal for automatic control equipment, the device connects control components to Fieldbus or Ethernet-based buses, extending beyond traditional automation technology.
Hardware Overview: It connects to processors via a UART interface and supports stand-alone operation through a shift register interface. A debug interface is included for Script testing.
Development and Support: The UNIGATE® IC reduces development effort by 70-80%. The Protocol Developer tool aids in Script generation, compilation, and debugging, with extensive support available through templates, examples, and a hotline.
Technical Data: Operating at 5V/3.3V, it supports baud rates up to 2 MBaud and functions within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, with bus-specific technical data for various protocols.
Developer Board: A Developer Board is available for rapid implementation, supporting all Fieldbus and Industrial Ethernet versions, with integrated IOs and options for customized hardware extensions.
Conclusion: The UNIGATE® IC provides a flexible, powerful solution for integrating bus communication into electronic systems, with extensive support and customization options.

UNIGATE IC-2

The Deutschmann UNIGATE > ή IC is a complete singlechip 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 com-ponents, 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 > ή 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...

UNIGATE IC-3

In case UNIGATE > IC is used in systems with own microprocessor, it is connected to the processor of the final product via an UART interface. The UNIGATE > ή IC takes on the complete communication part including the bus-side and as a result it relieves the device processor of this considerable effort. The communication between the device processor and UNIGATE > IC is controlled by the Script. Through the Script technology it is possible to reproduce complex protocols, data can be processed, buffered between, charged, etc. And the Firmware of the terminal equipment is not touched. > The connection...

UNIGATE IC-5

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 to...

UNIGATE IC-6

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 resulting...
