Trusted

Gateway Module

Introduction

The Trusted

Gateway Module enables PC based applications to reside within the Trusted

system

and interact with the Controller. The Gateway interfaces to the IMB (Inter-Module Bus) via connection

with the Communications Interface (T8151) using 100baseT Ethernet. A second Ethernet port and

serial port are provided for onward connection to client networks. The Gateway features a full Microsoft

Windows XP license. The configuration of communications and loading of applications is achieved

using the Remote Desktop feature of another networked device running Windows XP.

The Gateway Module is in the same size as other Trusted

communications and I/O modules. It

occupies a single slot of any Controller/Expander Chassis. The module sources redundant power from

the bus like all other modules. All user connections are made at the rear of the module using the

T8173 Gateway Adaptor.

The primary use for the Gateway is as a host for the Trusted

OPC server. With the OPC server

loaded, the Gateway provides direct access to the Trusted

system status from any OPC client using

either Data Access V1.0, 2.0 and Alarms & Events V1.0. One or more OPC clients can access the

Trusted

system over the Ethernet network, both receiving status information and sending command

instructions.

The gateway interacts with one Ethernet port of the Gateway Adaptor, whilst the other port can

continue to function independently for implementation of high integrity peer to peer transactions

between Trusted

Controllers.

Note: Gateway Ethernet ports do not work well with a T8153 Communications Interface adaptor. It is

possible to get most ports working by forcing the arbitration to 10baseT and full duplex. The T8173

Gateway Adaptor, therefore, is the recommended adaptor for use with the Gateway Module. T8173

also includes connection access for a keyboard, mouse and video.

Features

• Microsoft Windows XP Professional operating system

• Two 10/100 Base-T Ethernet ports

• One RS-232 Serial port

• 12 GB hard disk

• Optional OPC Server software

Controller/Expander Chassis

TrustedTM Module T8170 2.2. TrustedTM Module Polarisation/Keying. TM All Trusted Modules have been keyed to prevent insertion into the wrong position within a chassis. The polarisation comprises two parts. The module and the associated field cable. Each module type has been keyed during manufacture.

TrustedTM Module T8170 3. Application 3.1. Installation and Configuration The Microsoft Windows XP Professional operating system is pre-installed. New modules must be configured before they can be used in a system. This procedure assumes that the user is familiar with network configuration and registry editing. The Gateway module is configured by default as shown in Table 3 below.
PAGE 14
TrustedTM Module T8170 3.1.1. Connection to Gateway Module To configure a new Gateway Module, connect the module to a PC via an Ethernet network. Either of the two Gateway Ethernet ports may be used as appropriate for the network available: • Ethernet 1 DHCP Network • Ethernet 2 10.1.1.254 to a network with a PC with an Ethernet IP Address in the range 10.1.1.1 to When connected to the network, use the Remote Desktop facility in Windows XP.
PAGE 15
TrustedTM Module T8170 Click the “Options <<” button to return to the login window. Enter the name of the Gateway Module (see Table 3 for the default name) as shown in Figure 4. Click “Connect”. Note that the option checked in Figure 5 above allows the Gateway Module to view the disk drives on the local computer (running the Remote Desktop Connection). A warning may be displayed to this effect.
PAGE 16
TrustedTM Module T8170 NOTE: If the IP Address of the Ethernet port that the Remote Desktop Connection is using is changed, the Remote Desktop Connection will close. To reconnect, change the IP Address of the PC and connect again using the Remote Desktop Connection. 3.1.3. Gateway Computer Name/Workgroup Configuration To change the Gateway Module’s computer name and/or connect to a workgroup (to fit with the network design in use), use the “System Properties” window.

TrustedTM Module T8170 3.1.5. Assigning a new user to automatic logon If the new user is to be logged in by default, the automatic logon must be changed to match the new configuration. This requires a registry entry to be edited. Caution (from Microsoft) “If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly.

TrustedTM Module T8170 3.2. INI File Format There are no sections in the INI File used by the Gateway module. 3.3. TrustedTM Configuration Tool The Configuration Tool is not used to configure the Gateway module. 3.4. IEC1131 Toolset Configuration The IEC1131 Toolset is not used to configure the Gateway module. 3.5. Optional OPC Server 3.5.1.
PAGE 19
TrustedTM Module T8170 Note that although the Gateway module will have shortcuts to the local computer’s drives (shown as ‘on DALHART’ in the example above), software should not be installed on these drives as they are only available to the Gateway module when the Remote Desktop Connection is open. Run the Setup.exe file to start the installation. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the OPC Server.

TrustedTM Module T8170 4. Operation When the Gateway Module is powered-up, the Windows XP operating system is loaded from the hard disk. Once booted, it is possible to connect to the Gateway Module using the Remote Desktop Connection facility from a Windows XP PC as described in section 3.1.1. Any optional software installed will automatically start when Windows has booted. 4.1. Front Panel Indicators TM Figure 9 shows the front panel of the Trusted Gateway Module.
PAGE 21
TrustedTM Module T8170 4.2. Module Status LEDs There are ten status LEDs on the Gateway module front panel; one Healthy, one Active, one Standby, one Educated, one Hard drive Active, one Status, and four Communications. The module status LED states and their meanings are described as follows: LED INDICATION Healthy Module Health: Steady green = Healthy, module self test has passed. Steady red = Faulty, module self test has failed. Active Unused, set steady green Standby Unused, set off.
PAGE 22
TrustedTM Module T8170 5. Fault Finding and Maintenance 5.1. Fault Reporting Input module faults are reported to the user through visual indicators (LEDs) on the front panel of the module. Faults are also reported via status variables which may be automatically monitored in the application programs, and external system communications interfaces. There are generally two types of faults that must be remedied by the user; external wiring and module faults.
