The Gateway may not be used for safety-related functions.
Intended use includes making the electrical installation EMC-compliant. The product is designed for use in an industrial environment. It is not suitable for use in a domestic environment, as this can lead to interference.
The following is deemed improper use in particular:
} Any component, technical or electrical modification to the product
} Use of the product outside the areas described in this manual
} Use of the product outside the technical details (see chapter entitled "Technical De-
tails")
3.1.1
Electromagnetic compatibility
To ensure electromagnetic compatibility the correct procedures must be carried out during
installation.
A device is electromagnetically compatible if:
} It functions without error in a given electromagnetic environment
} It does not adversely affect its own environment.
Electromagnetic interference can reach the devices through:
} Fields
} Power supplies
} Earth cabling
} Bus connections
} Interfaces
} Input and output cables
The interference can be transferred from the producer (source) to the receiver (interference
sink) via the coupling routes.
Interference reaches the interference sink (e.g. the control system devices) in various ways:
} DC coupling:
DC coupling occurs if the source and sink of interference have common cable connec-
tions. The common cable presents complex resistances, inducing potential differences.
It is possible to differentiate between cables according to their function. The
following groups exist:
}
Group 1: Data and supply lines for DC voltages below 60 V and AC voltages below 25 V
} Group 2: Data and supply lines for DC voltages from 60 V to 400 V and AC voltages
from 25 V to 400 V.
} Group 3: Supply lines above 400 V
Cabling inside buildings:
} The cable groups listed above should be laid separately.
} Cables of the same group can be laid within the same cable duct.
} Cables from group 1 and group 2 should be laid in separate groups or in cable ducts
which are at least 10 cm apart.
} Cables from group 1 and group 3 should be laid in separate groups or in cable ducts
which are at least 50 cm apart.
} Data and signal lines should be laid as close as possible to an earthed surface.
Cabling to open air systems:
} As far as possible use metal conduits. These should be electrically connected and
earthed.
} Ensure there is sufficient protection against lightning by using metal conduits earthed at
both ends, or concrete cable ducts with reinforcements connected across the joints.
3.1.1.3
Equipotential bonding
Potential differences can occur if the devices are connected to different earth or ground
connections. Even cable shields that are connected at either end and have different earth
connections can cause potential differences. In order to avoid interference, equipotential
bonding cables must be installed.
In doing so you must ensure the following:
} Select a low impedance equipotential bonding cable.
} Select the following as standard values for the cross section of the equipotential bond-
ing cables:
– 16 mm
– 25 mm
2
for equipotential bonding cable up to 200 m in length
2
for equipotential bonding cable over 200 m in length
} If the control system devices are connected with shielded signal cables which are
earthed at either end, the impedance is calculated as follows:
Interference currents must be diverted to cable shields via shield bars.
In doing so you must ensure the following:
} Connect the shields with low impedance to the shield bar or earth bar.
} Use cables with braided screening, with a minimum cover area of 80 %.
} When laying cables without equipotential bonding or using foil shields: Connect the
shield at one end.
} If possible, use metal or metallised plugs to connect cables for serial data transfer. Al-
ways refer to the regulations relating to the fieldbus systems.
} If the shield is not to be connected at the end of the cable, it must have no connection
to the connector housing.
} If the shield is to be connected, connect it to the shield bar at the point where the cable
enters the cabinet, without making a break in the cable. Use metal cable clamps which
cover the shield over a wide surface area. Route the shield as far as the units, but do
not connect it to the units.
Digital inputs and outputs do not need shielded cables.
However, if the connection cables have a shield, it should be connected at one end.
Analogue inputs and the incremental encoder inputs on speed monitors should always be
connected using shielded cables.
3.1.1.5
3.1.1.6
Lighting in the control cabinet
Use low interference panel lighting for inside the control cabinet.
Testing the EMC-compliance of an installation
You can use the list below to check that the installation of the Gateway is EMC-compliant.
CheckMeasuresDone
Are there areas with a high
probability of interference?
EMC protection in these areas should be planned
with particular care.
(e.g. computers running,
process control areas, distribution cabinets, cable
casing, frequency converters, hand-held radios etc.).
Are areas where comput-
If necessary shield the whole area.
ers are running or areas
such as process control
rooms sufficiently shielded
from electromagnetic coupling?
Does the cable layout take
into account the principles
of EMC compliance?
Some important points: Lay cables close to earth,
keep clear of other electrical equipment, keep ca-
bles in ducts separate from other parts of the in-
stallation, keep cables as short as possible, avoid
Supplies with interference voltages should be fit-
ted with a mains filter.

Safety
CheckMeasuresDone
EMC characteristics of individual units / all units
tested once installed?
Earthed parts connected
correctly?
Cable groups laid separately?
Are the shields connected
correctly?
Equipotential bonding carried out?
Test EMC characteristics under operating condi-
tions, e.g. while hand-held radios are in use, or
HF frequency generators are close by. Test static
discharge with operating personnel, test mutual
interference between units under different operat-
ing conditions.
The connections between the units, racking bars,
earth conductors and shield bars are important.
Inactive metal parts should be connected over a
wide surface area and earthed at a central point;
with insulated metal: Remove insulation or use
special contact fixings; protect the connection
from corrosion; connect the cabinet doors to the
body of the cabinet using earthing straps.
Separate cables into groups. Supply and signal
leads should be laid separately.
Use shielded cables for analogue and data leads;
use metallic plugs; connect cable shields to shield
bar at point of entry to cabinet; connect cable
shields over a wide surface area and with low im-
pedance.
If the installation extends over a wide area: lay
equipotential bonding cable.

EtherCAT
The manufacturer's ID, the device ID and any functions supported by a field device are defined in a device description file. The device description file (Electronic Data Sheet, EDS) is
fieldbus-dependent. The content and format of a device description file are specified in the
fieldbus standard. The file is needed in order to include an unknown field device in the respective fieldbus configuration tool and in order to configure the plant-specific requirements.
An EDS file in XML format is used for EtherCAT devices.
} The Gateway should be installed in a single mounting area with a protection type of at
least IP54.
} Fit the Gateway to a horizontal mounting rail. The venting slots must face upwards and
downwards. Other mounting positions could destroy the device.
} Use the locking elements on the rear of the unit to attach it to a mounting rail.
} In environments exposed to heavy vibration, the unit should be secured against lateral
movement by using a fixing element (e.g. retaining bracket or end angle).
} The ambient temperature of the devices in the control cabinet must not exceed the fig-
ure stated in the technical details, otherwise air conditioning will be required.
} To comply with EMC requirements, the mounting rail must have a low impedance con-
nection to the control cabinet housing.

Address setting
IP address setting
The first three bytes of the IP address are: 192.168.0. The last byte of the IP address can
be configured.
The subnet mask is: 255.255.255.0.
The last byte of the IP address is configured using the DIP switches. Value range: 1 ...255.
Information
The IP address should only be set when the module is switched off (no voltage applied).
The settings are only transferred when booting. Any changes made to the
settings during operation will not be transferred.
There are various options for setting the last byte of the Gateway's IP address.
1. Use of the DHCP Server is enabled
DHCP is automatically enabled on a new module. In this case the IP address is taken
from the DHCP Server, if the DIP switch is set to 0. The module waits for approx. 15
seconds to receive an address from a DHCP Server, in which time it uses the default IP
address 192.168.0.1.
– Set the DIP switch to 0.
2. Setting via the DIP switch
The IP address that is set at the DIP switch is used. DHCP is therefore disabled.
– Set the DIP switch to a value between 1 – 254.
3. Enable DHCP via DIP switch
If the DIP switch is set to 255, DHCP is always used, irrespective of the configuration in
the web server.
– Set the DIP switch to 255.
Example: DIP switch: 00010100 (20 decimal)
