1. Introduction
1.1. Introduction to the User Guide
Chapter 1 Introduction (page 6) describes the gateway, the user guide that comes with it and the terms used in it.
Chapter 2 Hardware Implementation of the LUFP7 Gateway (page 13) gives an introduction to the gateway
and describes all the items used when setting it up, both inside (thumb wheels) and outside (cables and
connectors) the gateway.
Chapter 3 Signalling (page 23) describes the six LEDs on the front of the gateway.
Chapter 4 Software Implementation of the Gateway (page 24) describes the successive steps for setting the
gateway up with its default configuration, with a PLC using Profibus-DP. LUFP7 gateways are shipped pre-
configured to allow you to interface a Profibus-DP master with 8 predefined Modbus slaves (TeSys U motor
starters).
Chapter 5 Gateway Initialization and Diagnostics (page 37) describes two registers in the gateway’s memory
reserved for initializing and carrying out diagnostics on the gateway. They are only exchanged between the
Profibus-DP master and the gateway.
Chapter 6 Configuring the Gateway (page 44) describes how to use the “ABC-LUFP Configurator” software
application, which allows you to modify or create a new configuration for the gateway and shows the various features of
this software (add or remove a Modbus slave, add or change a Modbus command, etc.).
This chapter also shows the changes to be made to software implementation operations in SyCon and
PL7 PRO.
Appendix A: Technical Characteristics (chapter 7, page 86) describes the technical aspects of both the
gateway and the Profibus-DP and Modbus RTU networks it is interfaced with.
Appendix B: LUFP7 Gateway GSD File (chapter 8, page 90) details and describes the content of the GSD file
shipped with the gateway. The file can be used for the setup tools to recognize the LUFP7 gateway as a
Profibus-DP subscriber with communication features of its own.
Appendix C: Default Configuration (chapter 10, page 94) describes the main features of the default
configuration of the LUFP7 gateway. However, it does not go into AbcConf in detail.
Appendix D: Sample Use under PL7 PRO (chapter 11, page 97) gives an advanced example using the
LUFP7 gateway’s default configuration. This example exploits the command and monitoring registers for
8 TeSys U motor starters and uses the aperiodic read and write services used to access the value of any motor
starter parameter.
Appendix E: Profibus-DP Data and Diagnostics (chapter 12, page 104) repeats the information described in
the Implementation manual of the TSX PBY 100 coupler for Premium PLCs. It also provides the values of
these data and the results of these diagnostics for the LUFP7 gateway.
Appendix F: Modbus Commands (chapter 13, page 108) describes the content of the Modbus command
frames supported by the LUFP7 gateway.
