Endress+Hauser 3
1Safety
1.1 Designated use
Fieldgate SFG500 is a system component that provides an independent access route to a
PROFIBUS network. It may be used in a variety of applications that are supported by specific
operating modes. The operating modes are determined by an optional memory card
(Fieldgate Module SFM500).
Without memory card, Fieldgate SFG500 has the basic operating mode Access Point. In this
case, it acts as an Ethernet gateway with adaptive PROFIBUS Master Class 2 capabilities to
support FDT-based plant asset management host applications, e.g. FieldCare. The various
operating modes are described in their respective manuals, see Chapter 1.4.
1.2 Installation, commissioning and operation
Fieldgate SFG500 has been designed to operate safely in accordance with current technical
safety and EU directives. Field devices, links, junction boxes, cables and other hardware used
in conjunction with the Fieldgate SFG500 module must also be designed to operate safely in
accordance with current technical safety and EU directives.
If devices are installed incorrectly or used for applications for which they are not intended,
or if the Fieldgate SFG500 module is not configured correctly, it is possible that dangers may
arise. For this reason, the system must be installed, connected, configured, operated and
maintained according to the instructions in this and the associated manuals: personnel must
be authorised and suitably qualified.
1.3 Operational safety
When using Fieldgate SFG500 as an Access Point, the instructions in Chapter 1.3 of
BA0070S/04/en, Fieldgate SFG500: Installation and Commisioning, shall be observed.
1.4 Supplementary documentation
Table 1-1 indicates the documents, planned and realized, containing safety relevant
information, installation, commissioning and operating instructions for Fieldgate SFG500.
This manual decribes the use of Fieldgate SFC500 as a access point, i.e. without memory
card. The configuration of Fieldgate SFG500 for each of its various operating modes is
described in a separate manual.
The manual PROFIBUS guidelines contains information on how to design and install a
PROFIBUS network, in particular on how to ground the network in order to avoid
electromagnetic interference on the bus.
All documentation available at the time of release is included on the Fieldgate SFG500 CDROM and can be installed by default in Start=>Programs=>Endress+Hauser=Fieldgate

Fieldgate SFG500 Function and System Design
Endress+Hauser 5
2 Function and System Design
2.1 Function
When no Fieldgate Module SFM500 is inserted in the Fieldgate SFG500’s memory card slot,
it acts as an Access Point. In this mode, it provides a parallel path to a PROFIBUS DP network
and is used together with FieldCare, Endress+Hauser’s plant asset management system. The
SFGNetwork DTM is provided for use with FieldCare and offers the following functions:
• Scanning for all Fieldgate SFG500s in the same Ethernet IP address domain
• Scanning for all PROFIBUS DP/PA devices in the connected segment
• Access to the functions embedded in the web server, e.g. live list, settings etc.
The DTM is supplied as standard with FieldCare version 2.09.xx or can be installed from the
Set-up CD ROM provided with Fieldgate SFG500.
2.2 System design
Fig. 2.1 shows Fieldgate SFG500 operating as an Access Point in a PROFIBUS network.
Fig. 2-1: System architecture for Fieldgate SFG500 operating as an access point
The control network comprises one or more PLCs or DCSs and one or more PROFIBUS DP
segments. Connected to the PROFIBUS DP segment are PROFIBUS DP slaves, Remote I/Os
and segment couplers or links. Through its Ethernet port (LAN1), Fieldgate SFG500 allows
FieldCare access to access a PROFIBUS DP segment. If there is more than one segment in the
PROFIBUS DP network, a separate Fieldgate SFG500 is required for each.
Fieldgate SFG500 can be configured by a web browser, e.g. Internet Explorer, from any
computer in the local area network or via its second Ethernet port (LAN2). In the latter case,
Fieldgate SFG500’s DHCP server will supply an IP address to the connected computer.

NOTE!
• This section describes the steps to physically commission Fieldgate SFG500 for use as a
access point only.
• General commissioning for use is described in BA00070S/04/en, Fieldgate SFG500:
Installation and Commissioning, commisioning for other modes in the associated manual,
see Chapter 1.4.
• The manual assumes that the Fieldgate battery has been inserted and the network is up
and running.
3.1 Preliminaries
3.1.1 Computer IP properties
The LAN1 and LAN2 interfaces of Fieldgate SFG500 allow communication with a computer
via the integral Web Server. Before starting, check the following:
• Internet Protocol TCP/IP is installed on your computer and is active
• You have administration rights for your computer and network
• You have an set of IP addresses that have been authorized by your IT department
• Any proxy server for your Internet Browser is disabled
Fieldgate SFG500 is supplied with the following default IP addresses:
• LAN1: 10.126.84.100
• LAN2: 192.168.253.1
Fieldgate SFG500 acts as a DHCP server on the LAN2 service interface and will automatically
assign any computer connected an IP address, provided the latter has been configured to
receive it. For later use in a PROFIBUS network, Fieldgate SFG500 will normally require a
fixed address on the LAN1operations interface which must be set in the Web Server.
NOTE!
• Most computers which are used in a company network will already be set up to accept an
IP address from a DHCP server. If you computer is used in a control system, however, it is
possible that it has a fixed address. In this case, change the computer’s IP properties as
described in Appendix A.
