Interfaces
The gateway features a SmartWire-DT interface (plug, 8-pole), a 2-port
switch Ethernet interface (RJ45) and a Mini-USB interface. Via the Mini-
USB interface, the gateway can be accessed, configured and diagnosed
with the SWD-Assist software.
3.1.4
Diagnosis
The gateway can be diagnosed by connecting the SWD-Assist software to
the Mini-USB interface. For further information, please refer to the SWD-
Assist online help.
The POWERLINK protocol also provides diagnostic functions. For further
information, see
Diagnosis/Status Response
section on page 61.
3.1.5
Firmware and Device Description File
The EU5C-SWD-POWERLINK Gateway is shipped with its most recent
firmware already loaded. Which firmware version is loaded in the gateway
at the time of delivery can be inferred from the device type label (see
Device Type Label
section on page 32).
You can update the firmware from your configuration PC by using an
ordinary web browser.
A web server embedded in the gateway provides a special web page for
updating the firmware. This web server can be accessed via the Ethernet
interface of the Gateway. For more details on this, please refer to the
Updating Firmware
chapter on page 62 ff.
A device description file in XDD format can be generated by the SWD-
Assist software. It can then be imported into a POWERLINK engineering
tool (like e. g.
Automation Studio
by B & R).
