2Function and System Design

2.1

Function

When no Fieldgate Module SFM500 is inserted in the Fieldgate SFG500’s memory card slot,
it acts as an Access Point. In this mode, it provides a parallel path to a PROFIBUS DP network
and is used together with FieldCare, Endress+Hauser’s plant asset management system. The
SFGNetwork DTM is provided for use with FieldCare and offers the following functions:• Scanning for all Fieldgate SFG500s in the same Ethernet IP address domain• Scanning for all PROFIBUS DP/PA devices in the connected segment• Access to the functions embedded in the web server, e.g. live list, settings etc.
The DTM is supplied as standard with FieldCare from version 2.09.xx or can be installedfrom the Set-up CD ROM provided with Fieldgate SFG500.

Fig. 2-1: System architecture for Fieldgate SFG500 operating as an access point

The control network comprises one or more PLCs or DCSs and one or more PROFIBUS DP
segments. Connected to the PROFIBUS DP segment are PROFIBUS DP slaves, Remote I/Os
and segment couplers or links. Through its Ethernet port (LAN1), Fieldgate SFG500 allows
FieldCare access to access a PROFIBUS DP segment. If there is more than one segment in the
PROFIBUS DP network, a separate Fieldgate SFG500 is required for each.
Fieldgate SFG500 can be configured by a web browser, e.g. Internet Explorer, from any
computer in the local area network or via its second Ethernet port (LAN2). In the latter case,
Fieldgate SFG500’s DHCP server will supply an IP address to the connected computer.

3.1

Preliminaries

3.1.1

Computer IP properties

The LAN1 and LAN2 interfaces of Fieldgate SFG500 allow communication with a computer
via the integral Web Server. Before starting, check the following:• Internet Protocol TCP/IP is installed on your computer and is active• You have administration rights for your computer and network• You have an set of IP addresses that have been authorized by your IT department• Any proxy server for your Internet Browser is disabled
Fieldgate SFG500 is supplied with the following default IP addresses:• LAN1: 10.126.84.100• LAN2: 192.168.253.1
Fieldgate SFG500 acts as a DHCP server on the LAN2 service interface and will automaticallyassign any computer connected an IP address, provided the latter has been configured toreceive it. For later use in a PROFIBUS network, Fieldgate SFG500 will normally require afixed address on the LAN1operations interface which must be set in the Web Server.
NOTE!
• Most computers which are used in a company network will already be set up to accept an
IP address from a DHCP server. If you computer is used in a control system, however, it ispossible that it has a fixed address. In this case, change the computer’s IP properties as
described in Appendix A.

SFGNetwork DTM cannot find Fieldgate SFG500

4SFG500 DTM cannot find PROFIBUS device(s)5Device(s) connected to link cannot be seen

6

Device(s) connected to a Remote I/O cannot be
seenCause/Remedy• FieldCare version does not support SFG500– Install Fieldgate DTMs from CD-ROM supplied– Update DTM catalogue• No connection (general)– Check all Ethernet connections– Check that Fieldgate SFG500 is switched on– Check that the IP address domain of the computeris the same as that for Fieldgate SFG500(a simple test is to call the web server or ping)– Check that there is no firewall blocking
communication– Check that the Microsoft SQL Server is running• No connection after network scan (additional
remedies)– Check that PC and SFG500 are in the same logicalnetwork (ping)– If not, check that the following ports are enabledon the router (see also Appendix B)
UDP 60020: from SFG500 network to PC
TCP 60010: in both directions• No connection after manual connect (additional
remedies)– Check any error messages in FieldCare– Check the configuration of the CommDTM
is entered IP address, Tag, Serial number correct?
• No connection– Check all PROFIBUS connections– Check that device is switched on– Check that the device has a unique PROFIBUS
address– Check that the bus is properly terminated• No connection– Check that the link CommDTM is in place andproperty configured– Check all PROFIBUS connections– Check that device is switched on– Check that the device has a unique PROFIBUS
address– Check that the bus is properly terminated• No connection– Check that the Remote I/O CommDTM is in place
and properly configured with licence– Check all HART connections– Check that device is switched on

Appendix A Changing a computer’s IP properties
NOTE!
• You may need administration rights to change the IP settings of your computer.
If this is the case, contact your system administrator• The procedures described in this chapter are for Windows XP. For other Windows systems
consult your system administrator.
Most computers which are used in a company network will already be set up to accept an IP
address from a DHCP server. If you computer is used in a control system, however, it ispossible that it has a fixed address. In this case, in order to connect to Fieldgate SFG500’s
LAN2 port, proceed as follows:
Procedure for Windows XP

1. Right-click Start =>Settings =>Control Panel =>Network Connections

2. Right-click Local Area Connection => Properties

3. Using the left mouse button, double-click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) or
click once, then click Properties.
4. Note the addresses that have been assigned to your computer - you will need them later
when you reset your computer after commissioning the Fieldgate SFG500, see below

Appendix B Windows Firewall
If firewalls are in use on the computers on which the servers and clients reside, they must be
programmed to allow mutual access. As firewall configuration is often a matter of company
IT security policy, your system administrator should be consulted before proceeding. In
addition, administration rights are required to perform this task.
1. Press Start => Control Panel => Windows Firewall
2. Press the Exceptions tab to add the exceptions on two main levels:– Add program..: specify which applications are able to respond to unsolicited requests– Add Port..: specify that the firewall should allow TCP traffic at ports used by theservers, see Table 4-1 below
3. In the General tab, select the On (recommended) radio button to switch on the firewall
