Gateway unit – PROFINET compatible
Series EX500-GPN2
The intended use of the Gateway unit is for connection to SI units and
input devices for the control of pneumatic valves.
1 Safety Instructions
These safety instructions are intended to prevent hazardous situations
and/or equipment damage. These instructions indicate the level of
potential hazard with the labels of “Caution,” “Warning” or “Danger.”
They are all important notes for safety and must be followed in addition
to International Standards (ISO/IEC)*1), and other safety regulations.
*1) ISO 4414: Pneumatic fluid power - General rules relating to systems.
ISO 4413: Hydraulic fluid power - General rules relating to systems.
IEC 60204-1: Safety of machinery - Electrical equipment of machines.
(Part 1: General requirements)
ISO 10218-1: Manipulating industrial robots -Safety. etc.
•Refer to product catalogue, Operation Manual and Handling
Precautions for SMC Products for additional information.
•Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
Caution indicates a hazard with a low level of risk which, if
not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
Warning indicates a hazard with a medium level of risk
which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Danger indicates a hazard with a high level of risk which, if
not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
Warning
•Always ensure compliance with relevant safety laws and
standards.
•All work must be carried out in a safe manner by a qualified person in
compliance with applicable national regulations.
•Refer to the operation manual on the SMC website (URL:

3 Name and function of parts
Connection to PROFINET line.
Connection for power supply.
Connection to SI units (with manifold
valves) or input units using a branch
cable.

Cover should not be opened.
4 Installation
4.1 Direct mounting
Secure in position using 4 x M5 screws, 15 mm minimum thread length.
4.2 Wiring connections
•Communication Connector
Select the appropriate Ethernet cables to mate with the connectors
on the SI unit. The PROFINET connection has 2 ports, PORT 1 and
PORT 2, and both ports can be used for connection.
M12 4-pin Socket (D-coded)
Pin No. Signal name
•Power Supply Connector
Connect the power supply to the power supply connector on the
Gateway unit. With this cable, power is supplied to the output devices
(such as solenoid valve) and the input devices and for control.
•Both single and two power supply systems can be adopted, however
the wiring should be made separately (for solenoid valves / outputs
and for input and control) for either system.
The M12 connector cable has two types,
SPEEDCON compatible. If both plug and socket have SPEEDCON
connectors, the cable can be inserted and connected by turning it a
1/2 rotation.
A standard connector can be connected to a SPEEDCON connector.
•Branch Connector
Connect SI units (solenoid valves) and input devices to the Branch
port connectors (COM A - D) using an M12 (8-pin) connector cable
(EX500-AC###-S#P#).
As each cable contains power supply wiring, there is no need to
supply power to the SI unit (solenoid valves) or input devices
separately.
Warning
•Be sure to fit a seal cap (EX9-AWTS) on any unused connectors.
Proper use of the seal cap enables the enclosure to maintain IP65
specification. Tightening torque: 0.1 N•m.
4.3 Ground Connection
•Connect the FE terminal (M3) to ground.
•Individual grounding should be provided close to the product with a
short cable to assure the safety and noise resistance of the system.
•Resistance to ground should be 100 Ω or less.
4 Installation (continued)
4.4 Environment Warning
•Do not use in an environment where corrosive gases, chemicals, salt
water or steam are present.
•Do not install in a location subject to vibration or impact in excess of
the product’s specifications.
•Do not mount in a location exposed to radiant heat that would result
in temperatures in excess of the product’s specifications.
