4. Software Implementation of the Gateway
4.1. Introduction
This chapter gives an introduction to a quick implementation of the LUFP7 gateway, using its default
configuration. All LUFP7 gateways ship pre-configured.
This pre-configuration means that the user does not have to configure the LUFP7 gateway using AbcConf. This
configuration is described in order to allow the gateway to be used with a configuration tool for Profibus-DP master
PLCs. As an example this implementation will use Sycon (version ≥ V2.5.0.0), the multi-network configuration
software marketed by Hilscher (Réf.: TLX L FBC 10 M), PL7 PRO (version ≥ V3.0) and a Telemecanique PLC
from the Premium range (e.g. TSX 57353 v5.1) to which the appropriate Profibus-DP communication board shall
be added (TSX PBY 100 coupler).
4.1.1. System Architecture
The default configuration for an LUFP7 gateway allows it to control, monitor and configure 8 TeSys U motor
starters:
Profibus-DP

Please see chapter 2 Hardware Implementation of the LUFP7 Gateway, page 13, for the hardware
implementation of the default configuration.
If you are using fewer than 8 TeSys U motor starters, you will need to adapt the gateway
configuration using the “ABC-LUFP Configurator” software (see chapter 6 Configuring the
Gateway, page 44, and chapter 6.6 Deleting a Modbus Slave, page 49).
