Auto Scan SPA

If this function is activated, during operation the gateway

will proceed a continous AutoScan of all SPAs connected

checking whether they are “in position”. This information

can be collected by special command for fieldbus readin

upon request. AutoScan spares the fieldbus master of cyclic

scanning every SPA himself.

Auto Message SPA Position

If this function is activated, in the following events the

gateway will automatically provide a message without prior

request by the fieldbus master: After all SPAs having previ-

ously been “in position” this is no longer valid for at least

one SPA. The message will also be given if previously at

least one SPA was not “in position” and now all SPAs are “in

position” again.

Auto Message SPA Error

If this function is activated, in the following events the

gateway will automatically provide a message without prior

request by the fieldbus master. After all SPAs having been

previously in status “no error” (“in position” or “not in posi-

tion”) now at least one SPA is in “error” status. After previ-

ously at least one SPA having been in “error” status, now all

SPAs are again “in position” or “not in position”.

Auto-Check functions

GK473 gateway (interface converter) enables networking

of approx. 32 spindle position displays (SPA) of the Baumer

IVO multicon system (for example N 140, N 141, N 150 and

a fieldbus-capable control (PLC). The gateway is converting

the SPA’s RS485 interface into a fieldbus interface and vice-

versa. Four LEDs serve as status indicators. The gateway is

capable of Auto-Check functions what means a relief to the

control.

One bus segment allows operation of several gateways for

connecting more SPAs. The gateway provides a small hous-

ing for DIN rail mounting, Node-ID and bus termination can

be parameterized.
