4. Software Implementation of the Gateway
4.2.13. Using and Monitoring the TSX PBY 100 Coupler Configuration
After validating all the changes previously made, you may check the configuration of the TSX PBY 100 coupler,
the Profibus-DP network, and the LUFP7 gateway by downloading the PL7 PRO application to the PLC and
conducting a monitoring operation using the TSX PBY 100 coupler debug screen.
Î Transfer the application from the PC to the PLC by running the “Transfer program…” option from the “P
LC”
menu (or click on the button) and selecting “PC
-
> PLC”.
Î Switch from the OFFLINE to the ONLINE mode by running the “Connect” option from the “PLC” menu (or
click on the button).
Î Initialize and start the PLC application using the “Init…” and “R
un…” options from the “PLC” menu.
Î Open the “Hardware configuration”
and the TSX PBY 100 board
configuration. Then, switch from
“Configuration” to “Debug” and select
the line that corresponds to the
LUFP7 gateway.
The content of the "PROFIBUS-DP
diagnostic data” frame enables you
to view the gateway's Profibus-DP
diagnostics, while the “PROFIBUS-
DP slave data” frame enables you
to view and change the values of
the gateway I/O. An example is
given on the right.
4.2.14. Developing a Profibus-DP Application
The Profibus-DP master PLC taken as an example is a TSX 57353 v5.1, marketed by Telemecanique. A sample
PLC application, developed under PL7 PRO, is presented in chapter 11 Appendix D: Sample Use under
PL7 PRO, page 97. This example uses the PLC, the gateway and the 8 TeSys U motor starters shown in the
Software Implementation of the Gateway.
