1.1 Designated use
Fieldgate FXA720 is a PROFIBUS/Ethernet Gateway with integrated web server that can be used:
• as a PROFIBUS DP/Ethernet gateway within a PROFIBUS monitoring and control system
• as a remote data acquisition module for PROFIBUS devices connected to its PROFIBUS DP
channels.
More information on these applications is to be found in the manual, or visit the Fieldgate web page
at www.products.endress.com/fieldgate.
1.2 Installation, commissioning and operation
Fieldgate FXA720 must be installed, connected, operated and maintained according to the
instructions in this manual: personnel must be authorised and suitably qualified.
Warning
• You require a unique IP address to set up Fieldgate. The use of IP addresses is strictly
controlled. Usually your system administrator will be authorised to allocate unique addresses
for your Fieldgates. Assigning an unauthorised address to a Fieldgate may result in conflicts
within your system and the failure of the associated devices!

in the technical data must be complied with.
Do not open the housing of the Fieldgate FXA720. It does not contain any parts that need to be
maintained or repaired by the user. In the event of a fault or defect, return the unit to the vendor.
Opening the unit will void the warranty!

3 Function and Sys tem De si gn
3.1 Function
Fieldgate FXA720 connects host systems to PROFIBUS DP networks via Ethernet. It can be
equipped with up to three RS-485 ports, each giving access to up to 125 PROFIBUS DP devices.
Fieldgate is designed for Windows and web-based applications such as configuration, monitoring,
and visualisation. Process data can be monitored with the integrated Web server.
Fieldgate can also be integrated into system applications via OPC, DTM or XML, eg.:
• OPC for exchanging data with applications such as SCADA/HMI OPC clients,
e.g. P View SPV200
• DTM for exchanging data with FDT frame applications, e.g. FieldCare
• XML for exchanging data with Microsoft Office applications or simple visualisation applications
such as Field Viewer SPV10

3 Function and System Design Fieldgate FXA720
3.3 System architecture
Web-base d appl icat io ns
Fig. 3.2 shows the generic architecture for web-based applications. The devices to be monitored or
configured are connected to the Fieldgate FXA720 via max. 3 PROFIBUS DP channels (RS-485
ports), to which PROFIBUS DP devices can be connected directly. PROFIBUS PA devices are
connected to the DP segment via a segment coupler or link.
The remote connection is made via Ethernet TCP/IP:
• Ethernet port/Internet
• Ethernet port/Remote wireless LAN access points
• Ethernet port/modem
• Ethernet port/LAN with firewall
The following applications may be running on the monitoring station:
• Via XML: Microsoft Office applications (on-line/off-line data acquisition and display)
• Via XML: Fieldgate Viewer SPV10 (data acquisition and visualisation)
• Via OPC: SCADA/HMI OPC clients, e.g. P View (data acquisition and visualisation with trends
and historian)
• Via DTMs: FDT frame applications such as FieldCare (asset management, Information &
Configuration) or other Information & Configuration tool
• Any other OPC client, FDT-based or XML/HTML application.
Note!
• Dependi ng up o n ap p l i cat i o n o r ar ch i te ct ur e r eq u i rements , each chan nel can be co nnected to an
independent PROFIBUS DP network or used to access the same network. The latter requires the
use of field devices with more than on Servicce Access Point

Network applications
When used as a Ethernet/PROFIBUS gateway, Fieldgate FXA720 will normally provide the
connection between host applications running on Ethernet and PROFIBUS devices connected to a
PROFIBUS DP or PROFIBUS PA network. Fig. 3.3 shows a typical example.
Examples of applications running on Ethernet are:
• Via OPC: SCADA/HMI OPC clients, e.g. P View
• Via DTM: Asset management tools based on FDT frames, e.g. FieldCare
• Via XML: Microsoft Office and e-Commerce applications
• Any other OPC client, FDT-based or XML/HTML application.

The two terminals are provided with an internal reverse-polarity protection.
Grounding
Fuse
Proper grounding is prerequisite for compliance with the EMC directives and for ensuring a proper
operation.
• The functional ground terminal is labeled and must be connected to the protective ground.

The Fi eld gate FX A720 has an i nter nal safe ty fuse which bl ows if an over volt age occur s in the power
supply (of approx. 30V or higher) or if a fault occurs in the device. The safety fuse can be replaced
by the device manufacturer only.
Note!
• The start-up current of the Fieldgate FXA720 may be up to 3A. The power supply must provide
this starting current in compliance with the voltage range to ensure a safe startup.

Fieldgate FXA720 4 Hardware Installation
4.2.2 Communication ports
Ethernet
COM
PROFIBUS
The Ethernet port is labeled "ETH" and has been implemented as a 10Mbit/s or
100 Mbit/s (10Base-T/100Base-TX) connection with automatic baudrate recognition. The
connection is made using a RJ45 connector and a twisted pair category 5 cable.
• Use a crossover cable if Fieldgate is to be connected directly to a Ethernet NIC card in the
personal computer
• Use a straight through cable if the connection is to be made via a hub or switch
The COM port is a RS-232C serial interface and for Service use only. The connection is made using
a 9-pin male D-sub connector with the following pin assignment:
Pin # Signal Description Pin # Signal Description
1 Reserved Do not connect 6 Reserved Do not connect
2 RXD Receive Data 7 Reserved Do not connect
3 TXD Transmit Data 8 Reserved Do not connect
4 Reserved Do not connect 9 Reserved Do not connect
5 GND Signal Ground
Table 4-1: Pin assignment COM RS-232 port
Fieldgate FXA720 may be equipped with up to three PROFIBUS DP channels (RS-485) labeled
"DP1", "DP2" and "DP3". Each channel is electrically isolated up to a voltage of 500V DC. The
connecting element is a 9-pin female D-sub connector with the following pin assignment:
Pin # Signal Description
1SHIELD Housing
2 NC Not assigned
3 RxD/TxD-P PROFIBUS signal B/B’
4/RTS RTS
5 GND Ground
6 VCC Bus-termination power supply (load 10mA max.)
7 NC Not assigned
8 RxD/TxD-N PROFIBUS signal A/A’
9 NC Not assigned

5 Getting Started Fieldgate FXA720
5 Getting Started
Before you start the installation:
• Check that you have administrator rights for your computer.
• Check that you have a unique IP address for each Fieldgate to be installed together with
subnet, gateway (LAN/router/firewall) and, if appropriate, broadcast IP addresses.
If a previous version is installed on your computer, we recommend that you deinstall it before
installing the new version.
Warning!
• The use of IP addresses is strictly controlled. Usually your system administrator will be
authorised to allocate unique addresses for your Fieldgates. Assigning an unauthorised address
to a Fieldgate may result in conflicts within your system and the failure of the associated
devices!
5.1 Preparing for installation

5.2 Establishing communication
5.2.1 Making initial contact
Note!
• To make initial contact with the Fieldgate FXA720, the IP address of your computer must be
temporarily changed to the same domain as the Fieldgate default address (192.168.253.1). If
you are unsure of how to do this, consult your system administrator.
• The following procedure applies to internet connection via Windows XP. The procedures for
Windows 2000 is described in Chapter 11.
Before starting, the Fieldgate FXA720 must either:
• be installed in the network connected to a switch/hub with a straight cable or
• be connected directly to the computer with a cross-link cable.
Procedure
1. Right-click
2. Right-click
Using the left mouse button, double-click
click once, then click
