2 Requirements
2.1 Network (LAN / WAN)
The PGT-09-S must be connected to an Ethernet network (TCP / IP based) and is integrated
as a node (server host) into a LAN or WAN.
The support of a DHCP and DNS server is mandatory for automatically configuring the IP
address of the PGT-09-S device and for registering its host name into the specific
namespace of the network. This way a user can easily access the device by its name.
Please contact the appropriate network administrator to check the availability of DHCP and
DNS services in your network.
Please also make sure that network security restrictions (e.g. firewalls) do not inhibit access
to the PGT-09-S device.

Manual
PGT-09-S
Optionally a UDP connection (port 8001, limited broadcast protocol) is also supported for
finding an active PGT-09-S device connected to the network.
This mechanism reliably works even if the IP address of the device is unknown or the device
is not reachable by an ordinary TCP connection, e.g. if it is configured for a different subnet.
This scanner utility application is supplied on the CD shipped with the PGT-09-S device.

3.1 Power Supply
The PGT-09-S can be alternatively powered by:
an external power-supply (12V DC) as the one that is part of the delivery.
the HIPERFACE DSL® connection
The power-supply connector (jack type) is placed on the panel opposite to the HIPERFACE
DSL® connectors.
Please check that the required polarity is matching with the following specification.
The PGT-09-S can supply a connected HIPERFACE DSL® encoder (DSL OUT) with power. It is
not possible to supply a second PGT-09-S connected to the DSL IN or OUT ports.
Please note that the supply voltage of the PGT-09-S matches with the supply
voltage range of a connected HIPERFACE DSL® encoder (usually 7-12 VDC).
Supplying a PGT-09-S with a voltage higher than the rated encoder supply will
lead to irreversible damage to a connected encoder.
The two specific pins of the HIPERFACE DSL® connectors (M12, pin 4 and 3, PWR+ and PWRrespectively) must be used to feed or draw power.
3.2 Ethernet connection
The PGT-09-S has an Ethernet port (RJ45) able to operate as 10BaseT or 100BaseTX mode,
Full-Duplex; the operating mode is automatically selected at start-up.

PGT-09-S
The PGT-09-S must be connected to the Ethernet network through a port of an “Ethernet
Switch” (a “Hub” device could also be used but is not recommended, as the communication
performance might get worse).
3.3 DSL connection
The PGT-09-S provides user with two HIPERFACE DSL® connectors (M12), designated OUT
and IN; in spite of the distinction and different connectors (male/female), their pins are
equivalents (internal parallel connection).
These two separated connectors are fully exploited in the ANALYZER mode (see chapter 7),
when the PGT-09-S is interconnected between a HIPERFACE DSL® Encoder and a servo drive
implementing the HIPERFACE DSL® Encoder Interface (“DSL Master”).
Note that these connectors allow you to connect both 2-wire and 4-wire HIPERFACE DSL®
lines. For a 2-wire connection, the pins PWR+ and DSL+, respectively PWR- and DSL- have to
be short-cut externally to the PGT-09-S.

3.4 TRIGGER connection
The PGT-09-S has a BNC connector suitable for supporting a trigger or “sync” function,
depending on the operating mode of the tool. The PGT-09-S datasheet must be referred for
finding full details on the electrical specification.
The interface can be used to feed a “sync” signal to the tool operating in Master mode (see
chapter 5). Using this interface, the HIPERFACE DSL® encoder position acquisition is
synchronized with the external “sync” signal. For further details on the acquisition
synchronization, please refer to the HIPERFACE DSL® User Manual (SICK order no 8013607).
The TRIGGER interface can also be used to feed a trigger signal to the tool when operating in
Analyzer mode (see chapter 7). In this case data logging is triggered by an external event.

6.2.3 Faulty DSL H-FRAME
The “Faulty DSL H-FRAME” is a special functionality, useful to generate specific error conditions
in the basic DSL bit-frame (H-FRAME), in order to test the DSL system under faulty conditions.
Note that “Power-User” access profile is required (see chapter 4.3.3).
Different error types can be configured to affect the selected bits (sequential) of the frame, at the
raw data-stream level (functional errors) or at the encoded data-stream level (communication
errors simulation). The error condition can even be triggered by combining internal and external
events (internal protocol states and external signal, fed thru the BNC connector).
Here is the basic steps to make it working:
Raw / Encoded bits selection
Fault configuration
Trigger configuration
Configured fault setting
Fault status monitoring
The specific information on the fault status is a direct feedback on the “error generator” status;
the effects of the generated error must be captured elsewhere (e.g.: by using a further tool in the
Master Mode or Analyzer Mode).

Manual
PGT-09-S
The Raw / Encoded bits selection is achieved by un-checking / checking the specific checkbox
in the panel placed on the left-top side where the corresponding total bits in the H-FRAME are
also shown. On the mid-right-top side the basic specification of the H-FRAME format (Raw /
Encoded) is shown as well.
Please note the bit enumeration: the 1st-transmitted bit is referred as bit47 (Raw) or bit59
(Encoded); hence the bit0 is the one transmitted last.
The following figure shows some more bit details:
Besides the selection above defining the fault target, a complete fault setup is also requiring the
fault specification, defined based on the selectors available in the specific panel, the following
one:
Starting from the left-end-side, the first drop-down selector defines the “fault type” affecting the
range of the sequential bits (up to the whole frame), specified by means of both the next two
specific selectors (“From…To”). The total affected bits are also shown beside.
The selectable self-explained fault types are shown hereafter; the topmost selection (NONE)
can be simply used to make the fault configuration inactive.
A further specification is required; i.e., the quantity of the affected H-FRAME’s; that can be
specified based on the selector placed on the right-end side.
Again, the topmost selection (NONE) can be used to make the fault configuration inactive.

Ultimately an optional specification refers to the event (state / signal) triggering the configured
fault action. The trigger, if enabled, can be based on two different and independent types of
event; that is, a specific internal protocol state and / or an external signal, fed thru the BNC
connector.
The trigger setup can be done by using the following selectors placed in a panel on the rightend-side:
The external trigger is disabled / enabled by means of the specific 2-way selector .
The internal trigger is instead enabled when one internal protocol state is selected; that is, one
different than the topmost selection (OFF) disabling the specific trigger use.
Referring to the protocol states, a list with a short description follows:

Once the fault parameters are selected, they have to be transferred to the fault generator; so, a
specific push-button shown on the left-bottom has to be used for making the shown setup active.
The button above is shown on condition that both the fault type and the faulty frames are
selected different than “NONE”; additionally the fault generation must be in the “OFF” state
(inactive). Such a condition can be verified looking at the text field placed above the button.
Please, note that anytime the setup is changed the current active configuration is reset
and the inactive status (OFF) is entered.
On pushing the aforementioned button, the current setup is uploaded and then the fault
generator is activated; please, monitor the status transitions shown in the specific status field
above the button. Here is shown the fault status change sequence:
1> >
2> >
3> 4>
Please, note the 3rd state is held until the fault occurs. So, if any trigger event is configured, the
3rd state is hold while the event is not occurring and the setup is not changed; whereas, the 3rd
state could even be not visible on un-triggered fault generation
An useful feature is additionally available to the user; that is, the possibility to save and reload
any fault setup. The saved setup are shown into a drop-down list to be quickly selected. Two
specific push-buttons are located on the right-bottom; above them, the saved setup list and the
current selected setup are shown.

Acquisition Mode
The acquisition mode can be set by using the selector placed on the top left-hand side:
The selectable modes are the following:
The “H-Frame” mode allows logging raw protocol data exchanged on the HIPERFACE DSL®
link.
The “Position” mode allows logging position acquisition data as available in the HIPERFACE
DSL® Encoder Interface (DSL Master).
The “Message” mode is specifically related to Short and Long Message exchange (HIPERFACE
DSL® Encoder resource access).
The “Event” mode is suitable to log specific events:
Watch signal changes (based on the Watch Filter, see configuration above)
Trigger event (if configured)
Timestamp counter overflow
Trigger Setup
The trigger for logging data can be defined based on four parameters.
The trigger depends on the result of a logical comparison defined through the following settings:
Source
Mask
Mode
Threshold
The trigger “Source” field refers to the byte of the Watch Filter Mask to be used for triggering.
Please note that each byte is referred by the associated watch filter name as displayed on
screen:
8013604/ WT29SICK STEGMANN GmbH Subject to change without notice51
Manual
PGT-09-S
The “Mask” field (1 byte) is suitable to mask bits of the selected trigger source. Click on it to start
an edit session. The “Enter-Key” is required to confirm the edited value.
The “Mode” field defines the logical operation to be applied on the selected and masked trigger
source. A drop-down box allows to choose the desired operation. Please note that the first
selection defines the “no trigger” condition (trigger disabled).
The symbol definition is common to some software development languages:
“Equal” / “Not Equal”
” Less Than” / “Less Than or Equal”
“Greater Than” / “Greater Than or Equal”
The “Threshold” field (1 byte) is suitable to define the value to which the masked trigger source
is compared with. Click on it to start an edit session. The “Enter-Key” is required to confirm the
edited value.
Watch Filter Mask
The “Watch Filter Mask” (64-bit mask) is used to filter which events are actually logged when
triggered. The text field shows the active pattern based on the bit patterns set by the user in the
check boxes below it:
This field can be used as a push-button. On clicking the shown pattern is made active.
The filter bit patterns can be defined bit-by -bit by using the associated checkboxes: by clicking
the user can toggle the selected bit. On top of the checkboxes corresponding text fields
functioning as push buttons are placed and show the corresponding byte value. To make their
values active they have to be clicked.

o <<T>> identifies a trigger reference
o TOVF! identifies a timestamp overflow (if any)
the timestamp can have different resolution depending on the acquisition mode:
o full (23bit,13.56 ns) all modes but Message mode
o reduced (14bit, 694 ns) Message mode
In the bottom section a bar is placed showing both the number of acquired records and those
listed. Also, a push button is available to enable or disable storage of records in the PGT-09-S
device.
Note that the data acquisition is buffered and the buffer is dimensioned to store up to 2048
records.
Trigger
The acquisition trigger allows to log data only under specific conditions. Setting the trigger also
allows the user to synchronize acquisition to an external signal (refer to the TRIGGER
connection, chapter 3.4).
Please note that to configure the trigger based on an external signal the trigger source must
include the “AUX” bit of the POSITION events byte.
Please note that the trigger is disabled on startup. If the trigger is disabled, all data on the
HIPERFACE DSL® link is logged when starting an acquisition.
8013604/ WT29SICK STEGMANN GmbH Subject to change without notice57
Manual
PGT-09-S
The trigger setup is handled by the Configuration function (see chapter 7.2.1). If the configured
trigger condition occurs a started acquisition is stopped. The acquisition buffer is handled so that
the record associated with the trigger is stored in the middle of the buffer. This way the logged
records are equally split into half before and after the trigger.
Data logging
The data logging is a process collecting specific formatted records into the acquisition buffer
(dimensioned to store up to 2048 records) on condition that:
The acquisition mode is selected
The acquisition process is activated (start button was pressed)
The trigger condition if configured has occurred
The data amount is available
The data logging can be differentiated by selecting the acquisition mode. It can be refined by
setting a proper configuration.
Events filtering
The so called “events” (refer to the specific types specified above) are always logged in the
acquisition buffer regardless of the active acquisition mode.
Therefore it is recommended to set up specific event filtering through the watch filter setup (refer
to the Configuration function, chapter 7.2.1) to avoid that too many event records fill the
acquisition buffer.
