The UNIGATE

®

 IC

2.1

 Technical introduction

The UNIGATE

®

 IC by Deutschmann Automation contains all components that are required for 

the communication in a fieldbus in one single module. Therefore a developer does not have to 
take care for that detail any more, only a hardware redesign is necessary in order to integrate the

 

UNIGATE

®

 IC and the required plug connectors.

2.2

 Availability

The module is available with a FTT-10A interface. Further fieldbuses are either planned or being 
worked on. They will only differ in the connections of the busses. The meaning of the general 
pins 1 - 9 as well as 24 and 26 - 32 will remain unchanged also for further fieldbus implementa-
tions. 
You can find an up-to-date list for all UNIGATE

®

 ICs under:

2.3

 Firmware 

UNIGATE

®

 IC is programmed via scripts. On principle any script, that has been developed for a

 

UNIGATE

®

 IC, can also be operated on the UNIGATE

®

 IC.

2.4

 The serial standard interface

Intelligent devices, that already feature a micro controller or a microprocessor, are generally sup-
plied with a serial asynchronous interface with a TTL-level. It is directly connected with the TTL-
interface of the UNIGATE

®

 IC. For more information on this serial interface see chapter 4 on

 

page 22.

2.5

 The synchronous interface

In addition to the standard interface there is also the possibility of the synchronous input and 
output. That way for instance digital IOs can be connected through shift register components or 
also analog IOs can be connected through a DA-converter with serial in-/output. For 
synchronous IOs 256 signals at the most can be used (256 bit). Wiring examples can be found in

 

chapter Kapitel 3.5 and software examples in chapter 5.2. It is also possible to build, for instance 
digital or analogous I/O-modules, with the customer’s device not being equipped with an own

 

controller. The fieldbus IC is also operable autonomously without that controller.

2.6

 The Debug-interface

The UNIGATE

®

 IC features a Debug-interface, which allows to process a script step by step and

 

also to monitor or manipulate data. This is indispensable for the development of a script. Usually 
a script is developed with the software Protocol Developer. For more details take a look at the 
instruction manual Protocol Developer.

All interfaces can independently be used at the same time.
