2 Introduction
This document will give information how to integrate Pluto DeviceNet Gateway GATE-D1/2 with an
ABB robotic system. The integration are described in following steps,
•
Gateway device integration.
This part will describe how to add the gateway into the ABB robotic system, see chapter 3.
•
Gateway device configuration.
This part will describe ho to configure the gateway for correct input and output of data to
and from the ABB robotic system. This configuration can be done in following ways.
•
DIP switch configuration (
simple system
).
On the gateway, by DIP-switch setting, there are four possible default configurations. If
one of these configurations suite the applications needs this is the easiest and most
simple way to configure the gateway for the application. See chapter 4.
•
ABB robotic system configuration (
preferred solution
).
In the ABB robotic system it’s possible to setup configuration data which will be sent
down to the gateway at system start. This configuration is the preferred way to do the
integration because the gateway configuration is saved and documented within the ABB
robotic system. See chapter 5.
•
Terminal configuration (
backup solution
).
By connecting a terminal (see chapter 1.3) to the gateway the configuration can be
done local in the gateway. This is a backup solution if the ABB robotic system
configuration doesn’t work. The disadvantage with this solution is separate
documentations and the need to do unit configuration at gateway replacement. See
chapter 6.
•
ABB robotic I/O configuration.
This part will describe how to add input and output data into the ABB robotic system for
easy communication with Pluto I/O area. See chapter 7.
