Software
The software executes script-commands, which in turn control the IC’s hardware and they pro-
cess their complete protocol by software. The script itself can be generated by the company
Deutschmann Automation or with the software Protocol Developer by yourself. For a detailed
description of the script.commands of the Protocol Developer see the instruction manual Proto-
col Developer and the online documentation concerning script-commands.

Your device, which on the whole is supposed to be assembled as shown above, will now be mod-
ified in a way that the LON Bus is available at the 9-pol. socket. However, a hardware redesign is
necessary in order to keep the assignment in standard form.

After the RS232-driver has been replaced by the UNIGATE
®
IC, the PROFIBUS is available at
the 9-pol. D-sub-socket.
Deutschmann Automation is also offering an appropriate adapter board. With it existing devices
can be adapted without re-design; see chapter 13 on page 41.
