Overview 3 Overview 3.1 Functionality The KUNBUS Gateway is a protocol converter. It allows communication between networks with different protocols.
– CANopen – DeviceNet – EtherCAT – EtherNet/IP – Modbus RTU – Modbus TCP – POWERLINK – PROFIBUS – PROFINET – Sercos III The gateway component for DMX can be operated as a master or slave. In addition, you can combine the gateway components with the RevPi Core. DO0262R00-MGW-UM-DMX-EN 7 / 25 Overview A Gateway consists of 2 gateway components that master one specific protocol each. You can combine these gateway components as you wish.

Installation 4 Installation 4.1 Preparations for Trouble-free Operation In the following section we have compiled some general information for you that is important for trouble-free operation. If you are already acquainted with this topic, you can skip to the next section. There, you will learn about which conditions are necessary for installing the gateway. Cable routing Route your cables separately in cable groups. This will protect your gateway from any unintended electromagnetic interferences.
Potential differences occur when devices are connected to different earths. These potential differences cause malfunctions. To prevent malfunctions, you have to route an equipotential equalization conductor. When doing so, bear in mind the following points: – Select an equipotential equalization conductor with low impedance.
The Gateway was designed for use in a control cabinet. ü The protection class of the control cabinet must be equivalent to at least IP54. ü For installation in the control cabinet you need a DIN rail 35 x 7.5 mm (EN50022). ◦ Install the DIN rail horizontally in the control cabinet according to the manufacturers' specifications. When doing so, make sure that the Gateway is at a sufficient distance from other devices. NOTICE Your gateway could be damaged if temperatures are too high.
In order to attain a fully functional gateway, you have to interconnect both gateway components. ◦ Connect an interconnect port to each gateway component using the plug-in jumper provided. Illustration 6: Connecting gateway components ð You can now install the gateway in the control cabinet. NOTICE Only ever interconnect 2 gateway components. If you connect additional components, severe defects could result on all devices. DO0262R00-MGW-UM-DMX-EN 15 / 25 Installation 4.
◦ Hold the raster element of the gateway on the DIN rail. ◦ Press down the locking elements towards the gateway. ◦ Make sure that the gateway is firmly attached to the DIN rail. DO0262R00-MGW-UM-DMX-EN 16 / 25 Installation 4.
To connect the gateway component to the power supply, you need a spring-loaded terminal (e.g. Metz-Connect SP995xxVBNC). You have to connect each gateway component separately to a power supply. Never interconnect functional earth and GND, otherwise the galvanic isolation between gateway GND and fieldbus ground will be removed. Instead, connect the functional earth with low impedance to the potential equalization.
To connect the gateway component to DMX, you need an adapter. The table below shows an example connection to a 3-pole XLR plug. Connection Function 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Earth (screen) DMX + DMX - DO0262R00-MGW-UM-DMX-EN Pin assignment for XLR plug 1 3 2 - 18 / 25 Installation 4.
Configuration 5 Configuration You can operate the gateway component as a master or a slave. In "Sender" function mode, the gateway component sends data to slaves and performs the function of a bus master (as for a DMX lighting control desk, for example). In "Receiver" function mode, the gateway component receives data from a bus master and performs the function of an actuator (as for a lighting control, for example).
Configuration 5.2 Make the setting via the rotary switches You can set the function mode and the addressing at the rotary switches. 1 2 3 Illustration 7: Rotary switch With each rotary switch, you can set a decimal from 0-9. These 3 values together allow you to set a value range of 0-999. – Switch 0x100 (1) determines the hundreds digit – Switch 0x10 (2) determines the tens digit – Switch 0x1 (3) determines the ones digit Example: You want to set the value 234.
Restart the gateway component to activate new settings.
You can also make the settings for the DMX gateway component also via a partner gateway component. In this configuration mode, you as a "sender" can send a maximum 510 bytes, since 2 bytes are required for the configuration. To make the settings: ◦ Set the rotary switch of the DMX gateway component to "0, 0, 0" ◦ Use the master software to configure the individual bits of the first 2 bytes of the DMX data.
The termination resistor prevents reflexions from occurring at the end of the connection that could cause errors in the data communication. The integrated termination resistor is 120 Ω. NOTICE Activate the termination resistor only if the module is the first or last subscriber of the connection. Errors in the data communication may occur if the termination resistor is activated while the module is connected at a central position in the network.
