Ethernet gateways
Data from the PLC to the FX3-CPUx
There are five (5) output data blocks, 10 bytes each.
The content of these data blocks can be used as input in the Flexi Soft logic editor or can
be routed via a second gateway into another network. In order to have the desired bits
available for routing or in the logic editor, tag names have to be defined for each bit that
shall be used. Bits without a tag name will not be available.
For detailed information how to define and customize the content and tag names of the
input and output data please see chapter 7 “Layout and content of the process image” on
page 173 and the operating instructions for the Flexi Soft Designer software (SICK
part no. 8012998).

data blocks
into the slots of the FX0-GPNT shown in the SIEMENS SIMATIC
Manager — HW Config configuration table.
The I and Q addresses reflect where in memory the cyclic data will be available.
Each input data block can only be placed into the slot of the same number. Example:
Input data block
4
can only be mapped into slot
4
.
Acyclic data and alarms
Record read
Flexi Soft system diagnostic data is available as data record to be read by the PLC. There
are three data sets, data set 2, 3 and 4, providing diagnostic information:
Data Set 2 contains the system CRCs.
Data Set 3 contains the individual module status with four (4) bytes per module.
Data Set 4 is currently filled with reserved values.
The format of the data sets is as specified in the tables below.
To access the acyclic data sets, a record read must be performed on the appropriate
address as shown in the following table.
Data set 2
Data set 3
Data set 4
Location
1200-1231 1300-1359 1400-1459
Size in bytes

60 bytes
Data set 1 is mapped into the cyclic transferred PROFINET modules of the device. The
content may be defined by the user. Refer to chapter 7 “Layout and content of the process
image” on page 173 for details.
