• Bit 15 – RD (Request Data Valid) - This bit is inverted by the Profibus master when valid data are to be
read. When the gateway is in not reset state (RS0=0, RS1=0), the master must mandatorily invert this bit for
resetting the gateway. Otherwise the inversion will not be necessary for updating the data; however, it will be
useful to confirm updating.
• Bit 14 – WD (Write Data) - This bit is inverted by the Profibus master when a writing operation is to be
executed in the gateway.
• Bit 13 e Bit 12 – WT1, WT0 (Write Type) – the Profibus master will indicate through these bits the type of
writing associated to bit 14.
00 - the entire table shall be transferred to the Modbus network.
01 - only those table values shall be transferred to the Modbus which have been changed since the last
writing operation.
10 - a writing operation will be executed in the table, but no value shall be sent to the Modbus network.
11 - reserved
• Bit 11 – reserved
• Bit 10 – reserved
• Bit 9, Bit 8 - RCD1, RCD0 (Request connect/disconnect) – A user disconnected block will remain
disconnected until a block reconnection request is sent or until a DigiGate is reset.
Request for disconnection / reconnection – will be executed by a request for writing through WD
(has higher priority than writing in table)
00 - No operation
01 - Disconnect device
10 - Reconnect device
11 - Reserved
• Bit 7 a Bit 0 – SA7 to SA0 (Slave Adress)
Slave address related to Bit9 and Bit8
Hints for Use:
• Use the bits of the status and control registers for correct operation of the device.
• Before performing a writing operation, it is recommended to check the state of the Profibus connection by
changing the RD pin (control register) and later checking the DV pin (status register).
• After having established the connection to the Profibus network, execute the entire output table writing
(WT1=0 and WT0=0) as the first writing operation.
• The best way of assuring that a writing operation has been executed correctly is verifying the registers after
the writing operation is done.
