2.1 General Overview
Automating integration for Schneider Electric (SE) Modicon processors and
maximi zi ng ease-of-use ar e the hallmark des ign criteri a behind the new ProLinx
SE line of communication gateways. The first SE gateway, the 5204SE-MNETPDPMV1 Modbus TCP/IP to PROFIBUS DP-V1 Master gateway, easily turns a
Modicon M340 or Quantum Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) into a
PROFIBUS DP-V1 Master. The new Application Communication Logic functions
built into ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) automatically generate all the Unity
Pro data types, variables, and logic required for the processor to perform
PROFIBUS DP-V1 cyclic and acyclic communication.
PCB automatically generates customized export files based on the gateway's
PROFIBUS DP network configuration. You can import these files into Unity Pro
version 4 software without modification, eliminating the need to write additional
communication message logic.
Automatically-generated Derived Function Block logic also provides advanced
PROFIBUS DP-V1 acyclic message pass-through capability. Acyclic messaging
allows the processor to request extended slave data and diagnostics, as well as
access slave-specific special functions.
If you change the configur ation of your P ROFIBUS DP network in P r oSoft
Configuration Builder, you can easily export new logic files, and then import them
into an existing project.

Modbus TCP/IP to PROFIBUS DP-V1 Pass-Through Master User Manual
2.2 Architecture
The following diagram shows an example network that connects a Personal
Computer (PC) and a Modicon M340 or Quantum Programmable Automation
Controller (PAC) to a ProLinx 5204SE-MNET-PDPMV1 gateway.
You configure the gateway using ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) software
through an Ethernet connection. The gateway also uses its Ethernet port to
support the Modbus TCP/IP protocol, allowing it to communicate with the
Modicon processor, as well as other Modbus TCP/IP devices.
You ca n also use the Ethernet connec tion to manage your PRO FIBUS network
slaves using ProSoft Technology Field Device Tool/Communications Device
Type Manager (FDT/comDTM) drivers for popular plant asset management
software , such as P ACTware™ and Endress+Hauser FieldCare. For more
information on FDT/comDTM drivers for the gateway, please refer to the ProLinx
PDPMV1 Driver Manual, on the ProLinx Solutions CD-ROM.
The gateway's PROFIBUS port allows it to act as a PROFIBUS DP-V1 Master.
The special Application Communication Logic functions built into PCB create all
the Unity Pro Derived Data Types (DDTs), Variables, and Derived Function
Blocks (DFBs) needed by the Modicon processor to be able to send Modbus
TCP/IP messages and have those messages turned into PROFIBUS DP-V1
cyclic I/O and acyclic mailbox messages (called telegrams in the PROFIBUS
protocol). The gateway can also communicate with PROFIBUS PA slaves though
a third-party PROFIBUS DP-to-PA Link Coupler device (not supplied by ProSoft
Technology).

Functional Overview 5204SE-MNET-PDPMV1 ♦ ProLinx Gateway
User Manual Modbus TCP/IP to PROFIBUS DP-V1 Pass-Through Master
The gateway has an RS-232 serial port. ProSoft Configuration Builder can use
this port to view the gateway's diagnostics and troubleshooting menus. You can
also use the serial port to upgrade the gateway's firmware.
2.3 Data Flow throu gh the Gateway
The internal database is central to the functionality of the gateway. This database
is shared between all the ports on the gateway and is used as a conduit to pass
information from one devi ce on one networ k to on e or m or e devi c es on ei th er
network su pp or te d by t he gateway. This perm i ts d ata from dev ices on one
communication port or network to be viewed and control l ed by dev i c es on
another port or network. In addition to data from the Master port, status and error
information generated by the gateway can also be mapped into the internal
database.
This special SE implementation of the 5204SE-MNET-P DPMV1 gateway uses
the gateway database to store PROFIBUS DP cyclic input and output data. This
means this PROFIBUS cyclic data will be available to the MNET Client (Master)
and Server (Slave) drivers for use on a Modbus TCP/IP network. The SE version
of the MNET Server has also been programmed to "Pass-Through" special
PROFIBUS DP-V1 acyclic mailbox message commands from the Modbus
TCP/IP Server directly to the PDPMV1 PROFIBUS DP-V1 Master driver for
transmiss io n on th e PR OF I BU S network.

5204SE-MNET-PDPMV1 ♦ ProLinx Gateway Functional Overview
Modbus TCP/IP to PROFIBUS DP-V1 Pass-Through Master User Manual
This pass-through capability allows a Modicon processor using its native Modbus
TCP/IP protocol to communicate directly with PROFIBUS DP-V1 slaves and
receive their responses, if any. Pass-through functions bypass the gateway
database, going from Modicon processor to SE MNET Server to PDPMV1
Master to PROFIBUS DP slaves and back.
Note: The normal MNET Server driver will accept and respond normally to remote Modbus TCP/IP
Client requests to read or write data to any address in the gateway's internal database. However,
this special SE implementation of the MNET Server is slightly different.
The SE MNET Server will accept and respond to read requests from Modbus TCP/IP clients in the
same way as the normal MNET Server. However, for write requests, the SE MNET Server will
accept and respond normally only if the address or addresses to be written fall in the gateway
database area designated for PROFIBUS Cyclic Output Data. This area is internal addresses 1000
through 1767, which have corresponding virtual Modbus addresses of 41001 through 41768 (fivedigit addressing) or 401001 through 401768 (six-digit addressing), as shown in the preceding data
flow diagram.
Any write requests received by the special SE MNET Server that are outside this specific data
address range will be rejected by the SE Server and an exception response containing Exception
Code "02 ILLEGAL DATA ADDRESS" will be returned to the requesting Client.
This special modification has been done to preserve the integrity of PROFIBUS Input Data by
preventing external Modbus TCP/IP Clients from writing to and thereby corrupting data in this
critical area, while allowing any Modbus TCP/IP Client to send data to PROFIBUS slaves by writing
it to the PROFIBUS Output Data area.

2.4 PROFIBUS DP Pass-Through Data Flow
The Application Communication Logic functions built into the latest version of
ProSoft Conf igu ration Bu ilde r (PCB) will automatically cre ate all the Derived Data
Types (DDTs), Variables, and Derived Function Blocks (DFBs) required by the
Modicon pr oc e ss or to al low it to act as a PROFIBU S DP-V1 Master for acy cl i c
mailbox message communication. PCB uses the PROFIBUS DP Master
configuration to create two files that may be imported into Unity Pro version 4.0
(or higher) to create these data structures and process logic.
PROFIBU S DP- V1 ac yc l ic com m uni c ati o n go es b eyond normal cycl i c I /O dat a
transfers by adding the capability to directly access each PROFIBUS network
slave. The types of acyclic data available varies from slave to slave but generally
include such data as alarm and status information, extended diagnostic
information, extended process data information, and device-specific special
commands.
The following illustration shows the basics of acyclic mailbox message data flow
from a Modicon processor, through the two gateway drivers, out to PROFIBUS
slaves, with responses (if any) returned to the Modicon.

5204SE-MNET-PDPMV1 ♦ ProLinx Gateway Functional Overview
Modbus TCP/IP to PROFIBUS DP-V1 Pass-Through Master User Manual
The DFBs create Modbus TCP/IP Client (Master) commands, which are
transmitted to the ProLinx MNET server (slave) driver. The MNET server
recognizes these special Modbus TCP/IP commands as PROFIBUS DP Acyclic
mailbox messages, strips out the PROFIBUS DP-V1 acyclic mailbox message
parameters contained in the Modbus TCP/IP message, and passes those
PROFIBUS message parameters through to the ProLinx PDPMV1 Master driver
for transmission to the PROFIBUS slave or slaves indicated in the message. Any
response message returned by the a slave to the PDPMV1 Master will be
automatically repackaged as a Modbus TCP/IP message and returned to the
Modicon processor, where the imported DFBs will process it.
This process allows a Modicon processor, using its native Modbus TCP/IP
communication ability, to act as a PROFIBUS DP-V1 Master on a PROFIBUS
network. By using a third-party PROFIBUS DP to PROFIBUS PA Link Coupler
(not supplied by ProSoft Technology), you can extend these PROFIBUS
capabilities even fu rther and communicate with PROFIBUS PA slaves.
2.5 Cyclic Polling and Acyclic Messaging Control Logic
The Application Communication Logic functions of ProSoft Configuration Builder
(PCB) automatically create Variables, DDTs and DFBs that have been
customized to match the PROFIBUS part of your PCB application. These
automatically-created structures and logic give you all the basic building blocks
you need to create an effective Modbus TCP/IP to PROFIBUS DP
communication appli c ation.
To complete your PROFIBUS communication application, all you will need to do
is to create your own customized control and sequencing logic to call the PCBgenerated DFBs in a logical, controlled manner. It will be your sequencing logic
that will decide when to call for PROFIBUS cyclic I/O data, status, and diagnostic
updates. Your logic will also decide if and when to trigger any acyclic messages
you may need to send.
To help you create your control and sequencing logic, here are a few principles
to keep in mind.
1 Once you have successfully created and downloaded your PROFIBUS
configuration to the 5204SE-MNET-PDPMV1 gateway, the PROFIBUS DPV1 Master driver will automatically begin and maintain no rmal PROFIBUS
cyclic I/O communications. PROFIBUS cyclic inputs and outputs will
constantly be updated on the PROFIBUS network with no action being
required from the processor. This means that PROFIBUS cyclic data
transfers are asynchronous and separate from whatever communication the
processor may or may not be doing between itself and the 5204SE-MNETPDPMV1 gateway.

Functional Overview 5204SE-MNET-PDPMV1 ♦ ProLinx Gateway
User Manual Modbus TCP/IP to PROFIBUS DP-V1 Pass-Through Master
2 In order for the processor to 'see' any of the data being received from the
PROFIBUS slaves or to send any data to the PROFIBUS slaves, your control
and sequencing logic must initiate Modbus TCP/IP Client command
messages from the processor to the gateway by using the binary trigger
variabl es pr ovi d ed for each DFB. Th is requirement ap plies eq ually f or the
cyclic DFBs and for the acyclic DFBs. The main difference will be that the
DFBs to update cyclic data will most likely be triggere d much mo re often than
the acyclic DFBs are triggered. For additional details, see Sample Control
and Sequencing Logic for Cyclic Data Polling (page 113).
3 The basic communication cycle between the processor and the gateway is:
o User-created logic in the processor sends a Modbus TCP/IP command
message to th e gat ew ay by triggering one o f th e fourteen (14) provided
DFBs.
o The MNET Server driver on the gateway receives the command.
o The MNET Server driver processes the command.
o The MNET Server driver returns a Modbus TCP/IP response to the
processor.
o Some commands cause data to be returned, such as read commands.
Some commands, such as write commands, return only an
acknowledgement that the command was received and executed.
Commands sometimes fail. Any data or error response to a command
returned by the MNET Server will be available in the provided Variables or
DDTs after being placed there by the triggered DFB that initiated the
process cycle. User-created logic in the processor must process data or
errors received in the Modbus TCP/IP response, if any.
o If no Modbus TCP/IP response is received within the time value specified
in a Timeout variable, the triggered DFB will set a Message Error bit flag
to indicate the message sequence failed and should be retried by
triggerin g a new message cycle.
4 In cases where PROFIBUS cyclic I/O data, general gateway status, or
standard PROFIBUS slave diagnostic data are concerned, these read or
write requests from the processor are handled internally in the gateway and
are processed asynchronously from any PROFIBUS DP Master processes
that might also be running in the gateway. This means these cyclic requests
tend to be responded to much more quickly than requests involving acyclic
messages that must be "passed-through" to the PROFIBUS Master for
execution before a Modbus TCP/IP response can be created and returned to
the processor.
5 In cases where PROFIBUS DP-V1 acyclic messages are concerned, these
read or write requests require a longer, more involved process cycle,
synchronized with actions on the PROFIBUS DP-V1 Master side of the
module. When the processor sends a Modbus TCP/IP read or write request,
using an acyclic message DFB:
o User-created logic in the processor sends a Modbus TCP/IP command
message containing the data needed for the PROFIBUS DP-V1 acyclic
message to th e gateway by trigg er i ng one o f the ten ( 10) pr ovi d ed acyclic
DFBs.
o The gateway MNET Server must process the incoming command.

December 22, 2009
5204SE-MNET-PDPMV1 ♦ ProLinx Gateway Functional Overview
Modbus TCP/IP to PROFIBUS DP-V1 Pass-Through Master User Manual
o The MNET Server must pass the acyclic message and any associated
data through to the PROFIBUS DP-V1 Master.
o The PROFIBUS Master must insert this command in between normal
slave data polling messages (send an acyclic message to a particular
slave or group of slaves.)
o The PROFIBUS Master must receive a response from the addressed
PROFIBUS slave.
o The PROFIBUS Master must return any PROFIBUS slave response data
to the MNET Server.
o The MNET Server must create and return a Modbus TCP/IP response to
the processor containing the data, if any, from the PROFIBUS slave or
slaves.
o Some acyclic messages cause data to be returned. Some acyclic
messages return no data. Acyclic messages sometimes fail.
Communication failur es co ul d ha ppen on either or both the Modbus
TCP/IP protocol or the PROFIBUS protocol. Any data or error response to
an acyclic message returned by the PROFIBUS Master or the MNET
Server will be available in the provided Variables or DDTs after being
placed there by the triggered DFB that initiated the process cycle. User-
created logic in the processor must process data received in the
PROFIBUS DP or Modbus TCP/IP response, if any.
o If no Modbus TCP/IP response is received within the time value specified
in a Timeout variable, the triggered DFB will set a Message Error bit flag
to indicate the message sequence failed and should be retried by
triggerin g a new message cycle.
You can see from the amount of processing involved that it will take
somewhat more time for the gateway to respond to acyclic message
commands than it will take to respond to cyclic I/O, status and diagnostics
requests.
6 Due to the nature of the communication routines used in the processor and
the Unity Pro programming language, only one Modbus TCP/IP command
can be "active" or "in process" at any one time. All the provided DFBs hav e
internal checks built in to prevent more than one at a time from being active.
Therefore, any control or sequencing logic you create must respect and
accommo da te thi s pr ocessor/l an gu ag e li mi tation. Part o f the
accommodations you will have to make is to allow for the differing amounts of
time it takes to process cyclic I/O and status commands as well as the
increased time it takes to process acyclic messages.
7 All provided DFBs have binary status bits available which can be monitored
by your control and sequencing logic to be sure you are not trying to activate
more than on e DFB-created Modbus TCP/IP message at a time. There is a
Message Done bit to indicate the communication cycle completed
successfully; and, there is a Message Error bit to indicate the communication
cycle did not complete successfully.

3.2.3 Set Up the Project - SE-MNET-PDPMV1
To begin, start ProSoft Configuration Builder. If you have used other Windows
configuration tools before, you will find the screen layout familiar. ProSoft
Configuration Builder’s window consists of a tree view on the left, an information
pane, and a configuration pane on the right side of the window. When you first
start ProSoft Configuration Builder, the tree view consists of folders for Default
Project and Default Location, with a Default Module in the Default Location
folder. The following illustration shows the ProSoft Configuration Builder windo w
with a new project.
Your first task is to add the 5204SE-MNET-PDPMV1 module to the project.

3.4 Configure the Gateway
To configure the gateway for your application, follow these steps:
1 Configure the PROFIBUS DP Master Setting and setup all PROFIBUS DP
network slave devices (page 23, page 24)
2 Configure the PROFIBUS Master DP-V1 gateway settings (page 32)
3 Configure the MNET Server Settings (Optional - default settings can be used
without modificati on) (page 38)
4 Configure the MNET Client Settings (Optional - default settings can be used
without modificati on) (page 39)
5 Configure the Ethernet Settings (page 40)
6 Download the Project to the gateway (page 43).
3.4.1 Configure the PROFIBUS DP Network
To configure your PROFIBUS DP network you must perform four tasks:
1 Install any PROFIBUS slave-specific device configuration files, typically
called .GSD files (p age 23).
2 Configure the ProLinx PROFIBUS DP Master (page 23, page 24).
3 Configur e the PROF I BU S Sl av es .
4 Print the Unity Passthru Memory Map (page 30).
Install the GSD Files
ProSoft Con fi guration Buil d er (PCB) us es PROF IBUS slave devi ce definition files
(GSD files) to obtain basic configuration information about the PROFIBUS slaves
you add to the network. The GSD configuration files identify the slave’s
capabilities so that the 5204SE-MNET-PDPMV1 ca n communicate with it
correctly.
Follow these steps to install the GSD file or files for your slave device or devices.
Tip: GSD configuration files for popular PROFIBUS slaves and ProSoft Technology solutions are
included with PCB. Before installing GSD files, browse the list of available slaves in the Tree View
window to see if GSD files for your slave are already installed.
GSD files are often both model number specific as well as model revision specific. Just because
you may have an older GSD file from a manufacturer for the particular make and model of your
slave device does not guarantee it will work for a newer revision of that device. Be sure you obtain
from the device manufacturer the correct GSD file or files for your PROFIBUS slave or slaves.
To install GSD files manually:
1 In ProSoft Configuration Builder tree view, click [+] to expand the module
tree, and then double-cl ic k t he PROFIBUS
DP icon. This action opens the
PDPMV1 PROFIBUS Master Setup dialog box.

Watchdog Reg ister
The Watchdog function allows the gateway to monitor a database register, the
Watchdog Reg ister, to check for loss of communication with the non-PROFIBUS

expected to change the va lue in the Watchdog Register at an interval less than
the amount of time specified in the Watchdog T i me out parameter. If the value in
the Watchdog Register does not change within this amount of time, a
communication loss is assumed and the Watchdog function will set the

Second, it tells the gateway what addresses to show in the Unity Passthru
Memory Map for Quantum communication control and data buffers when a
Quantum processor is used.
Set this parameter to zero (0 ) when the module will be used with an M340

3.4.3 Configure the MNET Server Settings (Optional)
All 4000 of the gateway's 16-bit internal memory registers can be read by remote
Modbus TCP/IP Clients. The gateway database registers can be read by remote
Modbus TCP/IP Clients (Masters) using virtual Modbus addresses 40001 through
44000 (for five-digit addressing) or 400001 through 404000 (for six digit
addressing).
However, not all 4000 registe rs can be written with Modbus TCP/IP write
requests from re mote Clie nt s. To maintain compatibility with the PRO FIBUS DPV1 Master protocol on this gateway, the MNET Server accepts write requests
from Clients only if the register address and range (count) used in the command
will place data in the PROFIBUS Output data area. This is the gateway database
area that holds data which will be sent to Slaves on the PROFIBUS DP network.
The allowable range of Modbus TCP/IP addresses for acceptable write requests
is 41001 through 41768 (fo r five-d igit addressing) or 4010 01 through 401768 (for
six-digit addressing). This address range is equivalent to the gateway's database
registers 1000 through 1767.
Care must be taken if remot e Clients are allowed to write to this data area
because, once data values are written into those registers, those data values will
be passed to PROFIBUS slaves. Which slave or slaves receive the data will be
determined by the PROFIBUS Master/slave configuration.
The default values contained in MNET Ser vers section of PCB should work for
most applications and should not need to be modified. If you wish to view the
MNET Server settings, you may do so by expanding the MNet Servers section of
the gateway configuration tree.

4000-register inte rnal memory da taba s e. Be awa re that the processor logic will
also be reading from and writing to the PROFIBUS areas of the gateway's
memory through the MNET Servers. If you decide to use Client comman ds in
your application, be careful that you do not interfere with or overwrite data in the
PROFIBUS areas of the gateway unless your application requires it. For more
details on gateway memory areas, see Memory Maps (page 30).
Warning: Inadvertant overwriting of data in the PROFIBUS memory areas could cause
unexpected behavior on your PROFIBUS DP network, leading to unintended equipment operation.
Such unintended operation could cause injury to personnel or damage to equipment.
Refer to the MNET Driver Manual, on the ProLinx Solutions CD-ROM, for more
information about the MNET Client, its functions and capabilities.

4 If the Test Connection procedu re fails, you will see an error message.
Several factors might cause or contribute to your receiving this error. To
correct the two most common er r ors and comple te the dow nload, check an d
verify the following:
o Is the PC you are using to configure the gateway on the same subnet as
the ga teway?
The subnet is determined by a combination of the IP Address an d the
Subn et Mask. If two devices are not on the same subnet, they will not be
able to connect with each other. To correct this problem you may need to
temporarily change the IP ad dr ess an d/or Subnet M as k on your PC to
allow it to be on the same subnet as the gateway. If there is an Ethernet
Gateway Server on your network, putting its IP Address in the Gateway
parameter of the gateway's Ethernet configuration might also solve this
problem.
o Are there any switches, hubs, routers, or other network hardware in
between your PC and the gateway which might be blocking the
messages?
If your network equipment is not configured properly, your PC may not be
able to connect to the gateway. To correct this problem, you could ask
your Information Technology (IT) personnel to check your network
configuration. Another possible solution would be to connect your PC
directly to the gateway using an Ethernet cross-over cable. This cable is
different from standard Ethernet connection cables in that it has been
specially wired for direct connection between two Ethernet devices.
Ethernet cross-over cables are readily available from most computer parts
suppliers o r may be custom-made.

3.5 Password Protecting the Configuration
You can create password protection for the configuration that can prevent
unauthor i z ed per sons from downloadin g c on fi guration fil es .
Here are some points to remember about the password protection
implementation on this gateway:
The gateway is shipped from the factory with password protection disabled.
Whenever password protection is disabled, you may freely download
configuration files to the gateway without password protection checking until
you decide yo u ne ed to en able this feat ur e .
To begin passw or d pr ot ec tion, follow the Creating a Password procedure to
create your pas sword. Once you create a passw ord, each con fi gur a ti o n
download attempt will be preceded by a password check. If you enter the
correct password, the download will beg in. If you do not enter the correct
password, the download will not be allowed to start and you will have to try
again to enter the password.
If you enter the password incorrectly, there is no limit on the number of times
you may retry to enter the correct password. There is no automatic lock-out
after a certain number of retries.
Remember your password! Once password protection is enabled, if you
forget your password, there is no easy way for you to recover it from the
gateway, clear it, or reset it without special instructions from ProSoft
Technology Technical support.
You can change y our password at any tim e by fol lowing the Cha ngi n g a
Password procedur e.
If you wish to discontinue using password protection, you can disable this
feature by using the Removing Password Protection proced ur e.
NOTE: The original version of the gateway did not provide password protection. To use the
configuration download password protection feature, you will need to be sure your hardware and
software have the following version numbers:
• ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) software, version 2.1.9.1, or higher
• 5204SE-MNET-PDPMV1 gateway firmware, version 2.41, or higher
• 5204SE-MNET-PDPMV1 gateway operati ng syst em (OS ), version 2.50, or higher
You can find the gateway firmware version and OS version numbers on the label on the back of the
gateway. If the version numbers you see on the label are lower than those shown here, please
contact ProSoft Technology Technical Support for upgrade information. In most cases, the
gateway firmware can be upgraded in the field in a just a few minutes. If your gateway requires an
operating system upgrade, it may need to be returned to the factory.

3.6.2 Configure the Memory Size for the Processor
The processor memory maps that you viewed in and exported from ProSoft
Configuration Builder (PCB) will be imported into th e Unity Pro project. These
processor State RAM maps are calculated from the starting memory addresses
and register count s entered into PCB for the m odule's i nput and output data
images. For more information on configuring memory addresses in PCB, refer to
Configure the Gateway (p age 32).
Allocating processor memory to store input and output data is part of the
processor configuration process. You should view the memory configuration in
the PCB Processor Memory Maps before you begin to allocate memory
addresses in Unity Pro.
Some points to keep in mind are:
As the programmer, you must be aware of the memory spaces that are
available when deploying in an existing system and assign values to the
Modicon processor and 5204SE-MNET-PDPMV1 configurations accordingly.
The Modicon M 34 0 pr oc es s or has a m ax i m um %MW memory allocation size
limit of 32,464 16-bit registers. The default size is 1024 registers. While
setting the %MW memory allocation, you must allocate enough total memory
to accommo da te th e am ou nt r eq ui r ed for th e 52 04 SE- MNET-PDPMV1
gateway as well as for the rest of your application.
The total number of data registers allocated for PROFIBUS data must at least
equal or exceed the number needed, which can be calculated by taking the
starting register configured in PCB and adding the register count configured,
plus any additional registers required for the rest of the application process
logic. The memory map from PCB can help you determine these numbers.
The gateway can use up to 768 words of cyclic input data, 768 words of
cyclic output data, 76 words of status data, and 378 words of standard
PROFIBUS sla ve di a gn ost ic da ta. Th er e for e, th e total %MW memory
requirement for just the PR OF I BU S ap pl i cati o n c o ul d be as m uch as 19 90
words. Round this up to an even 2000 registers as the amount of %MW
memory to allocate fo r PROFIBUS data.
You must allocate at least this much memory space as a continuous,
uninterrupted blo ck of processor memory that will not be used by any I/O
modules, pr ocesses, or variables.
WARNING: Failure to properly map your processor memory will likely cause corruption of
PROFIBUS data and can create potentially hazardous situations resulting from unexpected
equipment operation; which can result in injury to personnel or damage to equipment.

3.6.3 Import the M340 Functio nal Mod ule (.XFM File)
To simplify the task of programming the processor when communicating with the
5204SE-MNET-PD PMV1, the Application Communi c ation Logic func tions of
ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) create a Unity Pro Functional Module
(XFM).
Note: The Functional Module is intended only for new installations of the gateway. If you have an
existing installation, the following procedure will overwrite your settings, and may cause loss of
functionality. DO NOT overwrite a working application until you have thoroughly reviewed the rest
of the topics in this manual.
The Functional Module provides easy access to:
PROFIBUS DP-V0 or DP-V1 cyclic input and output data
gateway input/output status data
Standard PROFIBUS slave diagnostic data (six bytes per slave)
PROFIBUS DP-V1 acyclic message data, such as "Get Live List", "Get
(Extended) Slave Diagnostics", perform Freeze and Sync commands, or
perform any slave device-specific commands or functions.
The Functional Module file name matches the gateway name you defined in PCB
and will have the extension ".XFM". This file is creat ed by PCB when you export
the processor file from the Unity Passthru Memory Map box.
To import the Functional Module:
Use the proje c t you c r ea te d in Uni ty Pr o and perfor m all of the fol l owi n g st eps.

3.7.2 Configure the Memory Size for the Quantum Processor
The processor memory maps that you viewed in and exported from ProSoft
Configuration Builder (PCB) will be imported into th e Unity Pro project. These
processor State RAM maps are calculated from the starting memory addresses
and register count s entered into PCB for the m odule's i nput and output data
images. For more information on configuring memory addresses in PCB, refer to
Configure the Gateway (p age 32).
Allocating processor memory to store input and output data is part of the
processor configuration process. You should view the memory configuration in
the PCB Processor Memory Maps before you begin to allocate memory
addresses in Unity Pro.
Some points to keep in mind are:
As the programmer, you must be aware of the memory spaces that are
available when deploying in an existing system and assign values to the
Modicon processor and 5204SE-MNET-PDPMV1 configurations accordingly.
The maximum number of 16-bit %MW memory registers that can be
configured in a Quantum processor vary based on the model. When setting
the %MW memory allocation, you must allo cate enough to tal memory to
accommodate the amount required for the gateway as well as for the rest of
your appli c ation.
The total number of data registers allocated for PROFIBUS data must at least
equal or exceed the number needed, which can be calculated by taking the
starting register configured in PCB and adding the register count configured,
plus any additional registers required for the rest of the application process
logic. The memory map from PCB can help you determine these numbers.
The gateway can use up to 768 words of cyclic input data, 768 words of
cyclic output data, 76 words of status data, 378 words of standard
PROFIBU S sla ve di a gn os ti c data and up to 2071 w or ds for communication
control and data buffers. Therefore, the total %MW memory requirement for
just the PROFIBUS application could be as much as 4061 words. Round this
up to an even 410 0 re gi ster s as th e am ou nt of %MW memory to allocate for
PROFIBUS data.
You must allocate at least this much memory space as a continuous,
uninterrupted blo ck of processor memory that will not be used by any I/O
modules, pr ocesses, or variables.
WARNING: Failure to properly map your processor memory will likely cause corruption of
PROFIBUS data and can create potentially hazardous situations resulting from unexpected
equipment operation; which can result in injury to personnel or damage to equipment.

3.7.3 Import the Quantum Functional Module (.XFM File)
To simplify the task of programming the processor when communicating with the
5204SE-MNET-PD PMV1, the Application Communi c ation Logic func tions of
ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) create a Unity Pro Functional Module
(XFM).
Note: The Functional Module is intended only for new installations of the gateway. If you have an
existing installation, the following procedure will overwrite your settings, and may cause loss of
functionality. DO NOT overwrite a working application until you have thoroughly reviewed the rest
of the topics in this manual.
The Functional Module provides easy access to:
PROFIBUS DP-V0 or DP-V1 cyclic input and output data
gateway input/output status data
Standard PROFIBUS slave diagnostic data (six bytes per slave)
PROFIBUS DP-V1 acyclic message data, such as "Get Live List", "Get
(Extended) Slave Diagnostics", perform Freeze and Sync commands, or
perform any slave device-specific commands or functions.
The Functional Module file name matches the gateway name you defined in PCB
and will have the extension ".XFM". This file is creat ed by PCB when you export
the processor file from the Unity Passthru Memory Map box.
To import the Functional Module:
Use the proje c t you c r ea te d in Uni ty Pr o and perfor m all of the fol l owi n g st eps.

4.1 Basics of Working with Unity Pro
Before launching into descriptions of the Variables, Derived Data Types (DDTs)
and Derived Function Blocks(DFBs) that are automatically created by the
Application Communication Logic functions of ProSoft Configuration Builder
(PCB), it might be helpful to give a quick overview of these Unity Pro structures.
Derived Data Types (DDTs) provide the basic building blocks for more complex
Unity Pro data structures. They are used by both Variables and Function Blocks
as a way to organize and define the characteristics of individual pieces of data.
These characteristics will be shared by all instances of the data type. DDTs
specify a data item's:
Structure
Format
List of attributes
Behavior
Variables are the basic data storage unit in Unity Pro programming software.
Variables allow a processor to hold and manipulate data values using application
process logic. Variables will be identified by a unique name (sometimes referred
to as symbols) and will be assigned to hold a particular type of data, like binary or
Boolean values (zeros and ones), signed or unsigned integer values of various
sizes (8-, 16-, or 32-bit data), floating point values, alpha-numeric strings, arrays
(numbered g r oups of the same t ype), D DTs, and more.

Modbus TCP/IP to PROFIBUS DP-V1 Pass-Through Master User Manual
Variables can be stored in fixed, non-changeable memory locations within the
processor's memory. Such Variables are called located variables and may be
referenced by their variable name (symbol) or by their memory address.
However, Variables are not required to be assigned to specific, fixed memory
locations. If Variables are not assigned to specific memory addresses, they are
called unlocated variables and may be referenced only by their unique variable
names (symbols).
DDTs and Variables are then used to cr eat e Derived Function Blocks (DFBs).
These DFBs have input data, internal storage data, and output data variables
and DDTs associated with them. They use the data stored in DDTs and
Variables in process logic algorithms, which are also part of the DFBs. Unity Pro
offers several programming options to create the logic contained in the DFBs. All
logic in the DFBs created by ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) is in the form of
Structured Text (ST) program language sections, called Implements in Unity Pro.
The Applic ation Communication Logi c functions buil t int o Pr oS o ft Conf iguration
Builder (PCB) automatically create all the Variables, DDTs and DFBs required to
allow the processor to use its native Modbus TCP/IP communication protocol
capability and act as a PROFIBUS DP Master on a PROFIBUS network.
The following sections in this Reference chapter give brief descriptions of the
Variables, DDTs and DFBs created by PCB. Each DFB will be described and
grouped with its associated Variables and DDTs.
NOTE: Thorough understanding of all of this reference material is not required to successfully use
the gateway. This information is given for those users who wish to have a deeper understanding of
the inner workings of the system and to make it easier to troubleshoot potential communication or
programming problems.
4.2 Unity Pro Program Objects and Organizing Structures
The followi n g sec tions outline bas i c Variables and Derived Data Types (DDTs)
that organize and centralize control of all the custom application logic created by
the Application Communication Logic functions of PCB. These variables and
structures will be the main ones used to allow the rest of the processor logic and
control application to interact with the 5204SE-MNET-PDPMV1 gateway, as well
as slaves on the PROFIBUS network. By manipulating values within these main
variables, you can perform all the actions required for effective Modbus TCP/IP
to PROFIBUS communication.
Based on the configuration options selected, PCB will export one set of files for
use with Modicon M340 Programmable Automation Contro llers (PACs) and will
export a different set of files for use with Modicon Quantum PACs. There are
many similarities between these two sets of files. They have the same variable,
DDT, and Derived Function Block (DFB) names and have similar data structures.
However, Ethernet communication messages are created differently in Unity Pro
logic for the M340 and Quantum platforms. Therefore, the .XFM and .XSY
export files for M340 and Qua ntum configur ations are mutually exclus i ve an d not
interchangeable.

4.3 Modbus TCP/IP Communication Control in M340 and Quantum PACs
Unity Pro programming software (version 4.0 and higher) provides special
Messaging Service Communication Functions that enable Modicon PACs to
accomplish communication using multiple protocols, including Modbus TCP/IP.
The special functions provided for the M340 platform are different from those
provided for the Quantum platform. The special functions for each platform
require similar, but different, input parameters to create a Modbus TCP/IP
messages and produc e simi l ar , but di ffer e nt, output param eter s that hold the
results from message responses, if any.
The M340 platform uses the DATA_EXCH function for Modbus TCP/IP
messaging. PCB Application Communication Logic (ACL) creates a Derived Data
Type (DDT), called Modbus, that contains all the parameters and structures need
to use the DATA_EXCH function to send and receive Modbus TCP/IP messages
between the M340 processor and the ProLinx gateway.

4.4 Modicon M340 Variables, Derived Data Types, and Derived Function
Blocks
4.4.1 M340 Modbus Variables and Derived Data Types (DDTs)
The Modbus Derived Data Type (DDT) is a special DDT used by all other DDTs
and Derived Function Blocks (DFBs). This DDT holds al l the v ar iables needed to
create a Modbus TCP/IP Client command which the processor can then transmit
to servers on the network. The specific purpose of this DDT is to allow any
parameter s or data needed to cr ea te a val i d PROFIBUS DP Mas ter re qu est to be
passed from the processor to the 5204SE-MNET-PDPMV1 as a Modbus TCP/IP
message, which can then be re-transmitted on the PROFIBUS DP network, if
required.
You can think of the variables in this structure as temporary holding registers.
They will be used by all the other DDTs and DFBs t o build and transmit each
required Modbus TCP/IP message. No direct manipulation of these variables
should be required or attempted by any other parts of your application code. T he
other imported DDTs and DFBs will make all necessary changes to these
variables for you, as required. The information here is given for reference only.

Reference 5204SE-MNET-PDPMV1 ♦ ProLinx Gateway
User Manual Modbus TCP/IP to PROFIBUS DP-V1 Pass-Through Master
Variable Name
Size/Type Description
MailboxRequestInt[ ] 128-element 16-
bit inte g er array
Used to hold the raw byte values of a Modbus
TCP/IP message as it is being assembled by the
active DFB. Once assembly is complete, the
contents of this array will be passed to the Unity Pro
DATA_EXCH function to be transmitted on the
Modbus TCP/IP network as a Client Request
Message.
FunctionCode 1
8-bit byte
Will hold a value of 3 for Read Holding Register
messages to request data from the 5204SE-MNE TPDPMV1 or a value of 16 for Preset (Write) Multiple
Registers to send data to the 5204SE-MNETPDPMV1
StartAddress 1
16-bit integer
Will hold the address where data will begin to be
read from or written to the gateway
For Read Commands to bring in PROFIBUS cyclic
input data, this address will be in the range of 0-
767.
For Write Commands that send PROFI BUS cyclic
output data, this address will be in the range of
1000-1767.
These address ranges are fixed in the gateway's
memory and may not be changed or re-configured
by the user.
DataCount 1
16-bit integer
Will hold the number of 16- bit registers what will be
affected by t he command. Th e m axim um allowa ble
count is 125. Most messages will use lower values.
A value of 0 is invalid and will cause an error.
ManagementWords[ ] 4-element
16-bit integer
array
DestinationIPAddre ss [ ] 32-character
alpha-numeric
string array
These are four standard Unity Pro communication
message status words. Refer to the topic "Structure
of the management parameters" in your Unity Pro
documentation for more information.
Since an IP address contains a combination of
numbers and period characters, it must be passed
to the message functions as a string of alphanumeric characters. Please see your Unity Pro
documentation for the DATA_EXCH and ADDM
functions for additional details.

Modbus TCP/IP to PROFIBUS DP-V1 Pass-Through Master User Manual
4.4.2 MNETDPV1_BASICVAR Variables and DDTs - M340
These structures hold all the Variables and DDTs required to send and receive
PROF IBUS DP-V0 or DP-V1 cyclic data messages and han dle the respo nses.
Cyclic data is al l the data coming from and going to slaves on the PROFIBUS
network on a regular, recurring cycle. Cyclic data transfers are accomplished at a
very rapid, fixed-interval rate in a repeating cycle. The process of completing and
repeating these data transfer cycles is called "polling".
As you can see below, there are four major types of cyclic data:
1 Cyclic input data - data from PROFIBUS Slaves sent to the Master
2 Cyclic output data - data from the PROFI BUS M aster sent to the Slaves
3 General Gat ew ay (Module) Status Data - created and reported by the
gateway. (Although this data is not PROFIBUS protocol-specific data, it is
updated along with all the o th er polling data and, therefore, will be treate d as
cyclic data by the automatically-created Application Communication Logic
DDTs and DFBs.)
4 PROFIBUS Slave Diagnostic Data - the PROFIBUS protocol specifies that
each slave send six (6) 8-bit bytes of status and diagnostic data in a fixed
format to the Master as part of the regular polling cycle.
All the DDTs and variables required to use, control, and manage these four types
of cyclic data ar e c o ntained in the MNETDPV1_BASICVAR structures and sub-
structures.
Cyclic input and output (I/O) data is the data to be transferred based on the
PROFIBUS Master/Slave configuration you did in ProSoft Configuration Builder
(PCB) when you configured specific amounts of inputs and outputs for each
slave on the network.
The ReadCyclicData sub-structures handle PROFIBUS cyclic input data. For
more information, see DFB Read Cyclic Data (page 103).
The WriteCyclicData sub-structures handle PROFIBUS cyclic output data. For
more information, see DFB Write Cyclic Data (page 106).
The ModuleStatus sub-structures handle general gateway status data. For more
informat ion, see DFB Get Module Status (page 109).
The PB_SLVDiagnostics sub-structures handle the standard PROFIBUS slave
diagnostic data. For more information, see DFB Get PROFIBUS Standard Slave
Diagnostics (page 111).
