• Via DTM: Asset management tools based on FDT frames, e.g. FieldCare
• Information & Configuration tools, e.g. FieldCare, Commuwin II or ToF Tool
• Via XML/CSV format: Microsoft Office and e-Commerce applications
• Any other OPC client, FDT-based or XML/HTML application.
kçíÉ>=
·When Fieldgate is used in connection with the Commuwin II or ToF Tool Information &
Configuration tool, the single port version or Port 1 of the dual or three-port version
must be used.

4 Hardware Installation
4.1 Mounting
Fieldgate is intended for mounting on TS35 DIN carrier rails (EN 50022) installed in a
control cabinet.
The device is convection-cooled. It therefore needs to be installed in such a way that
the ventilating ducts are at the top and bottom of the unit.
Please ensure a ventilation space of at least 30 mm above and below the device.

4.2 Wiring
4.2.1 Power supply
The Fieldgate FXA 720 is powered by 24 V DC. The power supply female plug
connector is included in the delivery. The power supply male socket connector on the
front panel is labeled 24VDC (see Fig. 4.1).
The two power supply terminals are labeled L+ and L–.
• Connect L+ to +24 VDC and connect L– to 0 VDC.
The two terminals are provided with an internal reverse-polarity protection.
dêçìåÇáåÖ Proper grounding is prerequisite for compliance with the EMC directives and for
ensuring a proper operation.
• The functional ground terminal is labeled and must be connected to the
protective ground.
• For use in an environment that is highly subject to electromagnetic interference, an
additional ground connection can be provided at the grounding screw below the
"ETH" connector.
The power supply is connected to the plug connector via flexible wires with a cross-
section of 0.75 to 1.5 mm². The ground connection wire must have a cross-section of
1.5 mm².
cìëÉ The Fieldgate FXA 720 has an internal safety fuse which blows if an overvoltage occurs
in the power supply (of approx. 30V or higher) or if a fault occurs in the device. The
safety fuse can be replaced by the device manufacturer only.
kçíÉ>=
·The start-up current of the Fieldgate FXA 720 may be up to 3A. The power supply must
provide this starting current in compliance with the voltage range to ensure a safe
startup.

4.2.2 Communication ports
bíÜÉêåÉí The Ethernet port is labeled "ETH" and has been implemented as a 10Mbit/s or
100 Mbit/s (10Base-T/100Base-TX) connection with automatic baudrate recognition.
The connection is made using a RJ45 connector and a twisted pair category 5 cable.
• Use a crossover cable if Fieldgate is to be connected directly to a Ethernet NIC card
in the personal computer
• Use a straight through cable if the connection is to be made via a hub or switch
`lj The COM port is a RS-232C serial interface and for Service use only. The connection is
made using a 9-pin male D-sub connector with the following pin assignment:
Table 4-1: Pin assignment COM RS-232 port
molcf_rp= Fieldgate FXA 720 may be equipped with up to three PROFIBUS DP channels (RS-485)
labeled "PROFIBUS 1", "PROFIBUS 2" and "PROFIBUS 3". Each channel is electrically
isolated up to a voltage of 500V DC. The connecting element is a 9-pin female D-sub
connector with the following pin assignment:

5 Getting Started
Before you start the installation:
• Check that you have administrator rights for your computer.
• Check that you have a unique IP address for each Fieldgate to be installed.
t~êåáåÖ>
• The use of IP addresses is strictly controlled. Usually your system administrator will
be authorised to allocate unique addresses for your Fieldgates. Assigning an
unauthorised address to a Fieldgate may result in conflicts within your system and
the failure of the associated devices!
5.1 Installing Fieldgate tool
mêçÅÉÇìêÉ 1. Place the Fieldgate CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive, the Setup menu appears just
after the CD has been inserted.
