Function

The VAG-PB-G4F-R4 is a complete PROFI-

BUS slave designed for use in the field. The

G4 field housing of the PROFIBUS gateway

offers all the advantages of the serial master

in this design.

Two operating modes are available for the

exchange of data across PROFIBUS DP:

standard and expanded. In standard mode

the gateway uses a fixed I/O configuration so

that it can be put into operation without additi-

onal parameter assignment. In expanded

mode the data structure can be optimised,

enabling the user to define the data size sent

to the PROFIBUS master. Owing to the

reduction of required data, less I/O space is

needed in the PLC. Two push buttons are

used for address assignment, acceptance of

the desired configuration, adjustment of the

PROFIBUS address and baud rate. In confi-

guration mode, all detected AS-Interface sla-

ves are displayed on the 2-digit LCD. In

normal operation, the LCD is blank unless the

master detects a faulty AS-Interface

slave.There are 7 LEDs on the front panel,

showing the current status of the AS-Interface

line.

PLC Functionality

The VAG-PB-G4F-R4 provides 16 kByte pro-

gram memory, 8 kByte RAM, 1024 counters

and 1024 timers for PLC functionality. These

capacities suffice to process data on the AS-

Interface. Thus the master can also be opera-

ted in "stand-alone" mode. The program pro-

cessing time is 2ms per 1000word

commands. The programming language is

age. The AS-Interface CTRL functions

(upload, download, start, stop, read and write

internal memory) are available in expanded

mode.
