6 Creating Project Files—SEAbus 

Port Expander

This chapter covers configuration of the DTU3005 as a
SEAbus port expander. Once you have created a SEA-
bus port expander project (see 

Chapter 3

), follow the

directions in this chapter to configure the project file.
Then see 

Chapter 7

 for directions on downloading the

project to the DTU3005.

When configured as a SEAbus port expander, the
DTU3005 allows two computers running supervisory
software, such as WinPM, to connect to the same Sie-
mens SEAbus devices. Up to 32 devices may be
attached  to  port  2  of  the  DTU3005  by  an  RS-485  con-
nection. This configuration is shown below in

Figure 6.1

.

Figure 6.1 

Dual Passthrough Application

Once you have created or opened the project file,
select 

Edit

 from the main menu and the following

menu items appear:

Port 1 (Passthrough)

—allows you to configure the

communications settings for the supervisory
computer connected to port 1.

Port 2 (SEAbus Devices)

—allows you to configure

communications settings for SEAbus devices con-
nected to port 2.

Port 3 (Passthrough)

—allows you to configure the

communications settings for the supervisory
computer connected to port 3.
