G 3891 0021
Dupline-inputs and Dupline®-
outputs are treated indepen-
dently by the channel gener-
ator. If e.g. an input coded for
B5 is activated, the Gateway
will make the information
available on PROFIBUS-DP
(like in normal mode), but it
will not automatically activate
the Dupline®-output(s) coded
to B5. The Dupline®-outputs
are controlled exclusively
through the output data
received on PROFIBUS-DP.
In this mode, up to 128
Dupline®inputs and 128
Dupline outputs are available,
since an input and an output
coded to the same Dupline®-
address can operate
independently.
1 x DIP-switch for selection
of Analog Protocol to either
AnaLink (8-bit format) or
multiplex (16-bit format). The
Gateway will only transfer
analog values from modules
using the selected protocol. If
multiplex is selected, the
Gateway will automatically
perform the required
multiplexing on channels A1-
A4. Because of this, these 4
channels are not available as
outputs when the multiplex
protocol is selected.
1 x DIP-switch for version
selection
Normally, the version selec-
tion is supposed to be in the
OFF position, especially when
the Gateway is used in new
installations and configured
with the G38_21.GSD file.
In replacements or expansion
of existing installations, this
switch may be switched on,
in order to make set the
Gateway to operate towards
the previous GSD version.

Dupline®Input Data
To ease up, the Profibus
Master configuration, the
G38_021.gsd file is to be
used. This file describes to
the Master which I/O data
the gateway supports.
All I/O data are selectable
through so called modules,
each described with its par-
ticular function.
Digital Input, Digital output,
Analog input and Analog
Output. Through this, the
individual configuration of
the Gateway is quite simpli-
fied, as the user only has to
select which I/O modules to
use. The supported modules
may be selected in any order
and any combination.
The G38910021 gateway
supports one Digital input
module, and One Digital out-
put module, corresponding
to the 128 channels of input
and output data. Furthermore,
56 Multiplexed analog inputs
and 56 analog outputs are
supported as well, and this
is done through additional 7
analog Input modules
named "AIn (Mux:CD,0-
7/Alink:AB)", "AIn
(Mux:CD,8-F/Alink:CD)" ...
"AIn (Mux:IJ,0-7/Alink:MN)"
and 7 analog output mod-
ules named "Aout (Mux:CD,0-
7)", "Aout (Mux:CD,8-F)" ...
"Aout (Mux:IJ,0-7)".
All modules consist of 16
bytes of data, and the tables
below describe the content
and the relations to the
Dupline data.
If the Dupline® signal is
short-circuited, the gateway
will set the input status of all
channels to OFF, and issue a
Diagnostics information to
the Profibus master.
