System Components
Motherboards
The following types of gateway motherboards are available:
■
Compact motherboard MBHC-FB-4.GT: Slots for 1 gateway HD2-GTR-4PA.PN,
4 simplex power supply modules, and 1 diagnostic module. For further information, refer
to the documentation for MBHC-FB-4.GT.
■
Gateway motherboard MB-FB-GTR1: 2 slots for up to 2 gateway modules HD2-GTR-
4PA.PN. The gateway motherboard is designed for the use with Power Hub motherboards
holding power supply modules for the supply of PROFIBUS PA segments. The
motherboard can be used with a single gateway for simplex coupling to PROFINET IO or
with 2 gateways for redundant coupling. At the point of issue of this manual, redundant
coupling is not supported yet. For more information, contact you Fuchs
representative.
MB-FB-GTR1 can be used with the following Power Hub motherboards:
• MBHC-FB-4.HSC* supports 4 simplex segments, redundant bulk power supply
• MBHC-FB-4R.HSC* supports 4 redundant segments, redundant bulk power supply
• MBHD-FB-D-4R.GEN supports 4 redundant DART intrinsically safe segments,
redundant bulk power supply
The motherboards are connected with a customized cable that is included in the delivery
of the gateway motherboard.

Gateway
The PROFINET/PROFIBUS PA gateway module HD2-GTR-4PA.PN connects 4 PROFIBUS PA
segments to PROFINET IO on the performance level
“
real-time RT
”
. It supports 2 Ethernet-
switched ports for PROFINET S2 system redundancy and media ring redundancy based on
the media redundancy protocol (MRP).
The gateway features LEDs to diagnose the status of the Ethernet ports, gateway hardware,
redundancy, and the PROFIBUS PA segments.
For system integration the software tool "PROFINET GSD generator" is provided. The
generator builds a PROFINET GSD including all gateway and PROFIBUS PA device-specific
information required for engineering the PROFINET IO system. As input, the GSD files of the
PROFIBUS PA devices used in a specific project are required. The PROFINET GSD is
generated out of the individual GSD files.
Both, a gateway device type manager (DTM) and a PROFINET communication DTM enable
the access and use of the device manufacturer DTMs in oder to parameterize and diagnose the
individual PROFIBUS PA devices.
A web server provides access to gateway-specific and optional physical layer status read-only
information of the 4 segments. Update functionality of gateway firmware is provided.
The gateway is compatible with the motherboards of the following Power Hubs:
■
Universal Power Hubs MB–FB–GT, MB–FB–GTR, MBHC–FB-4.GT, MB-FB-GTR1
■
Compact Power Hub KT–MB–GTB–2PS
■
DART Power Hub KT–MB–GTB–D–2PS
Application documents for the integration of the PROFINET Power Hub into various control
systems are available. For more information, contact your Fuchs representative or visit
