2 System description

The GW PL ... system provides a simple way to parameterize and monitor field devices on
an Ethernet network. The modular design allows up to five expansion modules to be
connected to a single head station. All expansion modules are powered via the head
station.

2.1 GW PL ETH/…BUS

The GW PL ETH/BASIC-BUS head station provides an efficient data exchange and
communicates on an Ethernet network. Up to five fieldbus-specific expansion modules can
be connected, and the field device data can be accessed using FDT/DTM, HART IP, and
Modbus TCP. The GW PL ETH/UNI-BUS head station also adds PROFINET
communication. The head station features an embedded web server for configuring the
device, as well as a CommDTM for use with an FDT Frame application, such as PACTware.

2.2 GW PL HART...-BUS expansion modules

The GW PL HART...-BUS expansion modules allow the system to function as a HART to
Ethernet gateway, an up-to-date option that replaces the widely used RS-485 HART
multiplexer solutions. The GW PL HART4-BUS and GW PL HART4-R-BUS are equipped
with four channels, while the GW PL HART8-BUS and GW PL HART8-R-BUS have eight
channels. Up to five expansion modules can be connected to the head station, allowing a
maximum of 40 HART channels to be operated in parallel.

The GW PL HART…-R-BUS provides internal loop resistance of 250  for applications
using a 4 to 20 mA HART isolator or loops with low-loop resistance.

Each channel provides galvanic isolation from the HART signal. With the GW PL
ETH/…BUS CommDTM, the modules can be integrated into an FDT Frame application.
With HART IP protocol, access from the popular HCF OPC server is possible as well.
Common HART parameters can also be accessed using the Modbus TCP or PROFINET
protocol.

Powering multiple devices with factory default IP addresses will cause a network conflict,
and incorrect parameters may be set in the GW PL ETH/UNI-BUS modules. When
programming modules for the first time, it is important to apply power to only one at a time,
and change the IP address of each module to a unique IP address. Once each device has
a unique IP address they can be powered on together while on the same network.

Modbus and PROFINET cannot be active at the same time.

4.2.4.1 HART IP configuration

HART IP is a connection option that facilitates host-level systems to access and integrate
measurement and device diagnostics information from HART-enabled field devices using
the existing plant networking infrastructure.

The GW PL ... modules will act as a gateway between a HART IP-enabled host station, such
as a HART Server, PDM, PACTware, HCF OPC Server, etc., and a HART device.

When adding the GW PL ETH/…BUS to a HART IP-enabled host system, use the following
configuration:

Network

Port 5094

Poll address 0

IP address Physical LAN port address

1

1

TCP is recommended

TCP/UDP

22/46

4.2.4.2 Modbus configuration

When the GW PL ETH/…BUS is used in conjunction with any GW PL HART… expansion
modules, the process variables of a HART device can be accessed. Additionally, digital
inputs and outputs can be monitored and controlled with GW PL DIO4-BUS modules.

Activate Modbus

Navigate to the “Protocol Settings” page in the web-based manager (see Figure 4-7).

Check the “Modbus TCP” box to activate the Modbus registers on TCP port 502. The
system automatically requests several HART parameters from the field devices and
populates the correct Modbus registers.

The polling address of any HART devices must be set to 0.

Click the “Apply changes” button to save changes.

Modbus mapping

See “Modbus registers” on page 33 for mapping of HART-device process variables.

4.2.4.3 ARCOM

When the GW PL ETH/…BUS is connected with Emerson AMS, the ARCOM protocol must
be activated. Check the “ARCOM” protocol box and enter a TCP port number. It is freely
configurable, but you must ensure that no other service on the network is using the TCP port
chosen.

Click the “Apply Changes” button to activate ARCOM.

COM Port Redirector

The redirector application is used to create a virtual COM port on the PC running Emerson
AMS. The virtual COM ports are physically redirected to the network card and a destination
IP in the network. One GW PL ETH/…BUS with a corresponding IP address is configured
as the receiver in the network for each COM port.

The COM Port Redirector software can be downloaded from

phoenixcontact.com

Launch the redirector application, click the “New Port” button, and then select Client.
Choose a COM port number, and enter the IP address of the GW PL ETH/…BUS and
ARCOM TCP port number. Click the “OK” button to create the virtual COM port.

4.2.4.4 PROFINET configuration (GW PL ETH/UNI-BUS only)

When the GW PL ETH/UNI-BUS is used with GW PL HART… expansion modules, the
process variables of a HART device can be accessed via PROFINET.

The PROFINET slot address is determined via the GSDML Creation Tool.

Only one PROFINET connection can be open at a time.

The polling address of any HART device must be set to 0.

Activate PROFINET

Figure 4-13 “Protocol Settings” page

1. Click the “Protocol Settings” tab in the web server.

2. Click the “Profinet” checkbox.

GSDML file creation

Each channel on every expansion module has a unique PROFINET slot address
corresponding to the position (1 to 5) of the module in the station. GSDML files describe the
features of a PROFINET device in XML format. This file is then loaded into a PROFINET
master. This allows the PROFINET master to access the process variables of a HART
device.

The GSDML Creation Tool is available from the download section of the GW PL ETH/UNI­BUS details page at

phoenixcontact.com.

With the GW PL DIO4-BUS, the status of digital input signals can be monitored. A value of
1 indicates the input is on, and a value of 0 indicates the input is off (see Table A-3 on

page 37).

With the GW PL DIO4-BUS, the digital output signals can control external devices by writing
a 1 to turn on the output channel and writing a 0 to turn off the output channel (see Table A-4

on page 37).

The Modbus TCP client must support Modbus slave IDs in conjunction with the IP address
of the Modbus TCP server (the GW PL ETH/…BUS head station).
