3 Gateway Device Integration
3.1 DeviceNet address etc
Before adding the Pluto gateway to the ABB robotic system the gateway need to be given a
DeviceNet MAC address and also set to the current DeviceNet bus speed. These settings are
done on the gateway DIP switch SW1. For more detail information read the label on the gateway
and also the gateway manual (
REF A
) or the label on the gateway.
3.2 Adding gateway in the ABB robotic system
The Pluto gateway GATE-D1/2 can be integrated with the ABB robotic system by adding following
text lines into the configuration file of the robotic system. The example below will add the gateway
named “
plutoGateway
” to the ABB robotic systems DeviceNet interface “
DNET
” at MAC address
20
.
#
EIO_UNIT_TYPE:
-Name "
plutoGateway
" -BusType "DNET" -VendorName "ABB" -ProductName "Pluto"\
-DN_VendorId 950 -DN_ProductCode 1000 -DN_MajorRev 2 -DN_MinorRev 3\
-DN_C1OutputSize -1 -DN_C1InputSize -1
#
EIO_UNIT:
-Name "ioPluto" –UnitType "
plutoGateway
" -Bus "DeviceNet1" -DN_Address 20
By setting the DN_ClOutputSize and DN_ClInputSize to -1 the ABB Robotic system will read this
size information from the gateway. This will in most case help the integration of the unit into the
ABB robotic system.
