2.2 Power Requirements

Gateway is a 24VDC powered unit. Power should be applied on the PCB Terminal block on the Gateway
unit. Power rating is +24VDC +/- 10%, 100mA max. For specification of non-GWY-00 models, please refer
to ‘Addendum for Special Gateways’. Please follow the instructions given below when making power supply
connections:

Follow the sticker wiring diagram on the unit which shows terminals for the positive
DC, negative DC and ground.

To make a connection strip about 1/4" (6mm) of insulation of the wire and turn the
connector screw counter-clock wise until the gap is wide open. Insert the wire all
the way in and turn the screw clockwise until it is tight.

Wire lengths should be minimum. Wires should run in pairs with a neutral or
common paired with a live or signal wire.

A fuse should be connected from outside wherever required for models from
GWY-01 to GWY-08.

! Gateway products are housed in a molded ABS plastic case which eliminates any
electrical shock hazard. Hence Safety ground is not required to be connected to the
chassis of the unit.

! The DC ground is not directly coupled to Earth ground internally. The unit is
designed to operate properly whether or not the DC ground is connected to the
Earth ground. We do recommend, however, that if the DC ground has to be
connected to the Earth ground, the Earth connection should be made to a central
star point as poor site earths can introduce noise into a system.

Do not power Gateway and inductive loads with the same power supply even though
! there is enough immunity in the Gateway to withstand the transients present on
these lines. Avoid using power supplies with large capacitive outputs, which may
cause problems if power is cycled within a short time period. If wiring is to be
exposed to lightening or surges, use appropriate surge suppression devices.

! Keep AC, high energy and rapidly switching DC wiring separate from signal wires.

Connecting high voltages or AC power mains to the DC input will make Gateway
! unusable and may create an electrical shock hazard to personnel. Such a failure or
shock could result in serious personal injury, loss of life and/or equipment damage.
DC voltage sources should provide proper isolation from main AC power and similar
hazards.

2.3 Communication Ports

Gateway unit has two communication ports. Both the ports have DB9 type connectors and are compatible
with RS232C, RS422, RS485 and CMOS signal levels. PLC1 (also known as COM1) and PLC2 (also known
as COM2) have exactly the same pin outs which are as shown below:

3.1 Introduction to Gateway

Gateway is a Protocol Converter / Data sharer for devices like PLCs, inverters (Adjustable Speed Drives),
and other Controllers. Gateway has two serial ports that connect with two different devices. These devices
share data through Gateway. Gateway communicates with a device to get the information required by the
device connected on the other port. The device that requires data is called Destination Device and the device
that provides data is called Source Device. Information could be,
- value of a PLC register.
- status of a PLC coil.
- Command from Source Device to Destination Device to perform any action at the destination end.

3.2 Gateway Operation - Configuration and Communication

Gateway can communicate with any two devices using appropriate cables and configuration. Microsoft
Windows® based configuration software, Gateway Setup, configures the Gateway unit. ‘Configuration’ means
making the Gateway unit work as per system requirements.

Complete configuration for a Gateway using the Gateway Setup is termed as a ‘Project’. A Project consists
of Devices to be attached on two ports, Communication settings for two ports to communicate with two
devices, Register addresses for data transfer, Conditions for data transfer etc.

Gateway can now communicate with the specified devices without any change in the Gateway hardware. To
communicate with a device, Gateway needs Communication Drivers for the devices and Gateway - Device
communication cables.

Each Device has a unique and predefined protocol for communication. Gateway driver has this protocol to
communicate with the desired device. As two devices are connected on Gateway, it requires two drivers for
communication.

User MUST download Project, PLC1 driver and PLC2 driver in Gateway before installing any
system using Gateway. Gateway can accept drivers and configuration data on either of the ports. User
needs a special IBM download cable for downloading configuration in Gateway.

If any change in the current / working project is made, user must download the changed project in
Gateway.

Pin details of IBM download cable for GWY-00 are as follows:

DB9 Male (Gateway) DB9 Female (IBM)

2 2
3 3
5 5

IMPORTANT NOTE:
AS GATEWAY HAS MULTIPLE SIGNALS ON ITS COMMUNICATION PORTS, IBM CABLE FOR
GATEWAY MUST HAVE ONLY THREE RS232 SIGNALS (TXD, RXD AND GND) AS MENTIONED
ABOVE.

11
IBM download scheme for GWY-00 models:
Gateway needs Firmware, Project and TWO drivers to communicate with two devices. Firmware is factory
programmed. If both or one of the drivers has not been downloaded in Gateway, Gateway permanently waits
for IBM download (indicated by continuous blinking of the OK LED).
Create project as per system requirements. Select PLC1 Driver, PLC2 Driver and Project for downloading.
GWY-00 can be configured by following method.
1. If both the drivers are downloaded, at power up Gateway polls for PLC1 / COM1 device (OK LED
steady on max upto 5 seconds). If no device is found on this port, Gateway waits for IBM download
on either of the ports (OK LED blinking for 10 seconds). If IBM download is not established,
Gateway will again poll for PLC1 / COM1 device. This sequence continues till either of the
communication is established.
2. If communication with PLC1 / COM1 device is established, Gateway tries to connect with
PLC2 / COM2 device. If this communication is not successful, Gateway polls for IBM download.
Same sequence explained in 1 will be followed, this time for PLC2 / COM2 and IBM.
3. If Gateway has established communication with both the devices, user must first disconnect one of
the device to configure Gateway.
4. Connect IBM download cable on any of the ports.
5. Download PLC1 / COM1 driver, PLC2 / COM2 driver and Project.

Communication
Signals

Power:
+24VDC + 10%

Software will ask user if the Gateway has to be reset. Gateway must be reset unless user wants to
download setup again.
IMPORTANT:
1. When user wants to establish IBM communication on one port, communication on the other
port should not interrupt IBM communication. It is advised that communication on the other
port be stopped to ensure error free IBM communication.
IBM download scheme for GWY-00 models with Bootblock version 2.00A :
Use Software version 2.00A. Setup can be downloaded on PLC1/ Com1 port only. Create project as per
system requirements. Select PLC1 Driver, PLC2 Driver and Project for downloading. GWY-00 can be
configured by either of the following two methods:
METHOD I
1. Connect configuration Cable and power cables to GWY-00.
2. Apply power to GWY-00.
3. Download PLC1 driver, PLC2 driver and project within 10 seconds after power-on.
METHOD II
1. Short pins 3 and 4 on PLC1 port of GWY-00 for at least 1 second after power-on. Remove the short.
Now GWY-00 permanently waits for IBM download. Connect IBM download cable.
2. Download PLC1 driver, PLC2 driver and project.
The unit will automatically return to normal operation mode after a download cycle. If the user wants to
perform another download user has to bring the unit back into configuration mode using Method I or
Method II.

4.1 Gateway Modes
Gateway has two modes of operation: Master-Master and Master-Slave. Before explaining these modes
further Master and Slave concept should be explained.
Master:
Master is a Device which initiates communication.
Slave:
Slave is Device which processes Master’s query, takes necessary action and responds to the query, if
necessary.
4.1.1 Master-Master configuration
In this mode both Gateway ports (PLC1 & PLC2) are master in nature and devices connected on these ports
are slave. Gateway ports initiate communication when the proper Gateway-Device communication cable is
attached. Data is transferred in blocks. This transfer can either be a continuous process or as per require-
ment. A control word (Section 4.4), present in device on either side, enabled from Gateway Setup Software,
can control the block execution.

When control word is disabled, then block transfer is a continuous process. A block of data is fetched from
one device and transferred to the other device. The amount of data to be transferred (Number of words)
depends on Block definition in “Block Definition Area” in Configuration Software. One block is executed at a
time. A cycle consists of execution of blocks from #1 to #n.

Execution of blocks is performed as follows,

Block #1

Block #2

Block #3

Block #4
.
.
.
.
.
Block #n

When Control word is enabled, it decides which block has to be executed by writing a specific data in the
control word. Please refer to Example 4.1 for description on defining Blocks in Master - Master configuration.

14
Example 4.1 Toshiba T series – Modbus Master:

This configuration can be used to make Toshiba PLC function as a Modbus Master. Configure Gateway ports
as: PLC1 Protocol: Toshiba T Series PLC and PLC2 Protocol: Modbus (Master). PLC1 of Gateway is
configured as Toshiba T series master protocol so T series PLCs can be connected to PLC1 of Gateway.
PLC2 port is configured as Modbus master so any Modbus slave device can be connected on PLC2.

Blocks can be defined as shown in the picture below:

# Words defines number of registers/coils to be read / written between two devices.

Block #1: Gateway reads 7 words starting from D0010 from Toshiba T1 PLC and write these seven words
data to Modbus slave device in holding registers starting from 400001.
Block #2: Gateway reads Modbus output coil 000001 and writes it to Toshiba output coil Y002/3.
As this example has only two blocks, Gateway will execute Block #1 after executing Block #2 continuing
this cycle forever.

Notes:
1) Maximum 255 blocks can be configured in any mode.
2) Multiple bits read / write is not supported except for Toshiba PLC. For other PLC’s single
bit can read / write at a time.
3) In Master-Master configuration, typical time required to execute one block is 75 msec.
approx.

4.1.2 Master-Slave configuration

In this mode, one of the Gateway ports is a master and other is the slave so the devices connected on these
ports are slave and master respectively. Blocks do not control data transfer in this mode. Data transfer takes
place only when Master Device, connected on slave port of Gateway, sends a request to read / write data.
This mode requires mapping registers / coils for data transfer. Mapping means defining one or multiple
registers / coils in the Slave Device corresponding to one or multiple registers / coils in the Master Device.
Mapping can be done using the Block definition area, so in this mode, any Block is used for mapping
registers / coils of the two devices.

In Block Definition area, # Words Field indicates number of registers / coils to be mapped linearly from the
starting addresses of the Source Device to the Destination Device. Maximum number of registers / coils that
can be mapped is 255, but this does not mean that Master Device has to read / write 255 registers / coils in
one command. For example, if user wants to map register DM0 to DM9, he has to define a single block of 10
registers starting from DM0.

In one command Master can read / write registers / coils from one Block only, so if multiple registers
are to be read / written using a single command, # Words also limits the maximum number of registers /
coils to be read / written. Number of registers to be read /written in one command also depends on
- protocol of BOTH the devices
- Buffer capacity of Gateway.

Please refer to Example 4.2 for description on defining register / coil maps in Master - Slave configuration.

15
Example 4.2 Toshiba T series - Modbus Slave
This configuration can be used to make Toshiba T series PLC function as a Modbus Slave. Configure Gate-
way ports as: PLC1 Protocol - Toshiba T Series Master PLC2 Protocol - Modbus Slave. So the device
connected on PLC1 will be a Toshiba T series PLC acting as a slave and device connected on PLC2 will be
Modbus Master.

Block #1 maps 255 coils of Toshiba PLC starting from Y000/0 to Modbus Slave coils starting from O00001.
Block #2 maps 255 registers of Toshiba PLC starting from D0000 to Modbus Slave registers starting from
401021.
Here # Words field contains 255, so if protocol and Gateway buffer permit, Modbus Master can access 255
registers / coils in one command, but in case of Toshiba - Modbus configuration, the maximum limit is 28
registers / coils in one command.
In above example, request from Modbus Master is executed as follows:
1. Modbus Master sends command to Gateway for setting output coil O00033 to ‘1’.
2. Gateway searches defined Blocks and checks whether this coil is mapped to any Toshiba coil.
In example 4.2, output coil 000033 is mapped to Toshiba coil Y002/0 in Block 1. Gateway accepts
this command and sets Toshiba coil Y002/0 ON.

If Master sends a command to read / write a register / coil not defined in any Block then Gateway sends
exception response to master.
Suppose the Modbus master wants to set output coil O00400 ON, then,
1. It sends command to gateway for writing output coil 000400.
2. Gateway checks whether this coil is mapped to any Toshiba coil. But as output coil 000400 is not
mapped to any Toshiba coil in any block. Gateway rejects this command and sends an exception
response to the Modbus Master.

NOTES:
1) If multiple registers / coils are to be read or written in one command, then all the registers /
coils have to be defined in one Block.

2) As Gateway Setup Software is common for both the Gateway Modes, titles in the Block
Definition Area, may not be appropriate when using Gateway in Master - Slave mode.

3) Maximum 255 blocks can be configured in any mode.

4) Multiple bits read / write is not supported except for Toshiba PLC. For other PLC’s single bit
can read / write at a time.

5) In Master - slave mode, If somebody mapped read only registers or coils at destination end
to any registers at source end, it’s users responsibility that these registers are not going to
be written by master.

16
4.2 Multi-dropping of Devices using Gateway
Gateway supports multidropping on both the ports. Following illustration explains multidropping of devices on
Gateway ports. Devices with protocols that support networking can be multi-dropped on RS485 port of
Gateway. Maximum 31 devices can be networked on Gateway RS485 ports.

Drive
. Motor

Node n PLC Node n

PID Controller

Example 4.3:

Suppose Gateway is used to share data between multiple Modicon PLCs (Modbus Slave) to multiple
devices (Modbus Slave). Master - Master mode has to be used to enable data sharing. User must define
Blocks for sharing data.

Source PLC / Destination PLC: Setup Software appends ‘Com1’ and ‘Com2’ when protocols are same on
both the ports.
Source ID / Destination ID: These fields define the device ID on respective port side of Gateway. So using
ID’s it is possible to transfer data from device#1 on port1 to device#5 of port2.

17
4.3 Repeat Cycle
User can control Block execution by using the Repeat Cycle field. This number decides whether the
Block will be executed in each cycle. Larger the number lower the priority of the Block. Range for Repeat
Cycle setting is 1-99.
Repeat Cycle = 1 ………… Highest priority
Repeat Cycle =99 …………Lowest priority
Repeat cycle is important when using Gateway in Master - Master mode. If Gateway is used in
Master - Slave mode, Repeat Cycle field should be kept as ‘1’.
Repeat cycle defines the number of times a Block will be skipped while executing Blocks in a sequential
manner. Block will not be executed for [Repeat Cycle - 1] cycles. So if Repeat Cycle for a Block is 1, it will
be executed in each cycle whereas if Repeat Cycle is 2, then this Block will NOT be executed in alternate
cycles.
For example, suppose Blocks are defined with following Repeat Cycles:
Block #1 Repeat Cycle = 1
Block #2 Repeat Cycle = 2
Block #3 Repeat Cycle = 3
Block #4 Repeat Cycle = 4
After power up, Cycles will be executed as follows:
Cycle 1:
Block #1
Block #2
Block #3
Block #4
Cycle 2:
Block #1
Cycle 3:
Block #1
Block #2
Cycle 4:
Block #1
Block #3
Cycle 5:
Block #1
Block #2
Block #4

4.4 Control Word

Another way of controlling Block execution is by use of the Control Word. This feature is extremely useful for
small applications where less than 17 blocks are required. Control Word can be enabled or disabled in
Gateway Configuration. Normally Control Word is disabled for a New project. It can be enabled just by
clicking on check box in the setup software. Control Word can be chosen from any of the Devices
connected.
Control Word can only be used in Master-Master mode since no continuous data transfer takes place in
Master -Slave mode (data transfer only takes place on Master's request)
When the Control Word is disabled, Block execution is totally controlled by Repeat Cycle settings. When
the Control Word is enabled, Block execution is controlled using discrete bits of that word.
Bit 0 in control word controls execution of Block #1
Bit 1 in control word controls execution of Block #2
:
Bit 15 in control word controls execution of Block #16
When a bit is high, ‘1’, corresponding Block is executed depending on its Repeat Cycle. When a bit is low,
‘0’, execution of corresponding Block is disabled.
18
4.5 Error Indication Bit
This feature enables detection of communication breaks during error free communication between Gateway
and two devices. Communication breaks can occur due to no cable connection, wire faults, device power
failure at both ends of Gateway. An Error bit can be designated in each external device connected to
Gateway. Using this bit, fault at the PLC1 end can be reported to PLC2 Device and fault at PLC2 end can be
reported to PLC1 Device. When communication error occurs on PLC1, Gateway sets error bit in PLC2
device. Error Indication Bit can only be used in Master-Master mode. In Master-Slave mode any error can
easily be detected by a communication time out on the Master.
Error indication bit can be enabled using Gateway configuration software. Normally Error bit is disabled for a
New project. It can be enabled just by clicking on the check box in the setup software. Error indication bit
can be enabled in both or any one of the Devices connected to Gateway. Error Indication bit is “OFF” to
indicate error free communication. In case of communication error on PLC2, Gateway sets error bit on PLC1
port and vice versa.

4.6 Communication Parameters

Communication Parameters of Gateway can be set from configuration Software. This enables Gateway to
readily communicate with any device. Communication parameters for PLC1 and PLC2 ports can be
configured independently. This feature allows changes in Baud rate, Number. of stop bits, Parity etc. at any
time without downloading the driver for that particular device. After the driver for a particular device is
downloaded, the communication parameters can be changed simply by selecting new communication
parameters and downloading the same project.

4.6 Status LEDs

Gateway has 3 status LEDs located near PLC1 side. These LEDs indicate communication status and
Gateway operation. Three LEDs are identified as PLC1, OK and PLC2. PLC1 and PLC2 LEDs indicate
communication status on two ports whereas OK LED indicates the Gateway mode, either configuration or
operation.

 Trouble-shooting Guide

LED Indicators

Gateway has three LEDs and two optional Error bits to indicate any possible problem in the system. When
the system is communicating with two Devices, STATUS LED is steady ON, PLC1 and PLC2 LEDs are
blinking. Error bits are OFF.
PLC1 LED
Status Description
Blinking Communication on PLC1 is OK.
Off No Communication on PLC1 due to
- Device fault.
- No power to Device.
- Cable fault.
- Wrong Communication Parameters.
OK LED
Status Description
Off No power to Gateway.
Fast Blinking Gateway is waiting for IBM download.
Slow Blinking Communication error on PLC1 port. Error may be due to
- Device Fault.
- No power to either of the device.
- Cable fault.
- Wrong Communication Parameters.
Steady on Communication OK on PLC1 port.
PLC2 LED
Status Description
Off No communication on PLC2.
Fast Blinking Communication with device on PLC2 is OK.
Slow blinking Gateway is trying to Communicate with the Device on PLC2, Device not responding due to
- Device has no power.
- Cable fault.
- Wrong Communication Parameters.
IBM Download
IBM download described in Chapter 3 may become slightly slow for some drivers. If user faces such
problems while downloading setup, user can use this alternative method:
1. Pins 3 and 4 on any one of GWY-00 port should be shorted at power-on. Wait for atleast 1 second.
After the ‘OK’ LED starts blinking, remove the short. Now GWY-00 permanently waits for IBM
download. Connect IBM cable to any of the ports.
2. Download PLC1 driver, PLC2 driver and project.

Setup Software
If someone encounters problems to run the setup software in Windows 95 environment, please check details
of error message. If error message shows - ‘GATEWAY caused an invalid page fault in module
COMCTL32.DLL at 014f:bfbd3ad0’.

This may be due to older version of COMCTL32.DLL stored in Windows\System directory. To solve the
problem, please follow the steps given below:
1. Copy COMCTL32.DLL on a floppy from any other Microsoftt Windows98 Operating System.
2. Restart the PC in MS-DOS mode.
3. Replace the file COMCTL32.DLL from the floppy.
4. Restart the PC in Windows.

83
Hardware Test (using Gateway Setup Software)
Gateway Setup Software (Version 2.01A or higher) provides a Hardware testing feature to confirm that
communication ports of Gateway are functional. User can test all three signal levels on both the ports one by
one. This feature is supported for Boot-block version 2.00C or higher.

One port of Gateway unit is connected to PC using the standard IBM cable. Other port, ‘test-port’, will be
tested by the software using the LOOP-BACK method. Software sends a test string ‘HELLO’ to the Gateway
unit. This string is used to test other port by LOOP-BACK method. If the port is functional, Gateway send
the same string back to the software. User must test all three signal levels on both the serial ports.
Test Setup:
1. Gateway unit (GWY-00)
2. Gateway Setup Software
3. IBM cable
4. 24VDC power supply
5. Shorting Link/s

Configuration of Special Gateway Models:
Special Gateways communicate with IBM on COM1 / PLC1 port for configuration of Gateway.
GWY-01, GWY-02, GWY-05 and GWY-06 have RS232 PLC1 port and need a “Y” Cable, similar to the cable
shown in the figure below, for configuration. One end of the cable connects to Gateway which has both power
and communication signals, the second end connects to the device (PLC) for power and the third end
connects to IBM PC for communication. Power cable between PLC and Gateway depends on the PLC used.
User can initiate IBM communication by leaving PLC ATTACH pin open. There is NO TIME-OUT for these
models. Use Gateway Setup V1.xxx for creating and downloading configuration.
