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

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

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!

6.5.3 Time server

With the aid of a time server, the Fieldgate automatically synchronises its time with the time of the
configured server, if present in the LAN. An Internet connection or a time server in the local
network is required for this. If you have any questions, please contact your system administrator.

Procedure

Time se rve r param ete rs

1 Scroll down to reveal the time server settings page.

– Enter your settings and and confirm with "

Checking this box causes the parameters in the associated line to be shown in the overview of
devices

Read only parameter from device showing Block name and Measuring Tag (if configured)
– These parameters are read from the device and cannot be changed from the web server

Read only parameter showing the current measured value and status of the measuring point
– OK: device is operating correctly
– UNCERTAIN: device is operating, but the status of the output value is uncertain, e.g. because

a limit value within the device has been violated

– BAD: the device has detected a fault, e.g. sensor failure

(based on PA Profile 3.0, Chapter 3.11.4)

Read only value showing whether the associated value is within the alarm limits set in the web
server for this parameter:
– OK: within alarm limits
– HH: High high alarm, the measured value is above the high high limit
– H: High alarm, the measured value is above the high limit but below the high high limit
– L: Low alarm, the measured value is below the low limit but above the low low limit
– LL: Low low alarm, the measured value is below the low low limit
– EDIT!: The limits set in the Web server and the range in the parameter description are not

consistant.
Note: The limit status applies to the limit values set in the web server. It has nothing to do with
any limits set within the device itself

Allows four limits to be set in the web server on the parameter concerned:
– HH: High high limit, an alarm is set when measured value moves above the high high limit
– H: High limit, an alarm is set when the measured value moves above the high limit
– L: Low alarm, an alarm is set when the measured value moves below the low limit
– LL: Low low alarm, an alarm is set when the measured value moves below the low low limit
The status is flagged in the Limit Status column. If no value is entered, the limit is disabled.
Note: These limits are applied by the Fieldgate to the value it reads from the connected device.
These limits have nothing to do with those that can be set within the device itself

Hysteresis

E-mail on alarm

Description

Allows a hysteresis band in percent of set range to be set below HH and H limits and above L and
LL limits. When a measured value violates a limit, an alarm is im mediately set. When it returns to
within limits, the alarm is reset only when the value leaves the hysteresis band.

Allows the response to an alarm event to be set. Check the options as appropriate:
– SET: when checked will cause an e-mail to be sent on violation of a limit
– RST: when checked will cause an e-mail to be sent when the value returns to normal
The e-mail set up is described in Section 6.6.2, the alarm status table in Table 6-7.

Allows two lines of text and the set range of the device to be entered. This text is displayed in the

FAQ -

Frequently Asked Questions

• Fieldgate FXA720 can handle both Master classes without any configuration.
If cyclic data exchange is initiated by the application it implicitly becomes a
Master Class I.

• In case of a configuration tool, all acyclic data inititated by the configurator is
forwarded to devices through the Fieldgate as Master Class II services. For
example, PROFIBUS OPC Server normally behaves as Master Class I and
CommDTMs as Master Class II.

• Chapter 6 describes the Fieldgate parameters that can be configured.

• The devices connected to the Fieldgate cannot be configured: if this is
required, a separate configuration tool is required.

• If Fieldgate is operating as a plant access point for remote diagnosis or
inventory monitoring, the link can be used in the normal way.

• If you wish to configure the devices with an FDT based tool, e.g. FieldCare,
then a CommDTM is required for the link.

• PA links are not supported if Fieldgate is operating as a Web server.

• When used for remote diagnosis or inventory control, the Fieldgate acts as a
secondary master and must be configured as described in Section 7.2 of this
manual.

• If you wish to configure PROFIBUS devices with an FDT based tool, e.g.
FieldCare, then Device DTMs are required for the devices. A coupler does
not require a CommDTM but a Siemens link does.
