UNIGATE® Workshop

Implementation and Programming

The 'UNIGATE - Implementation and Programming' Workshop teaches you how to connect your hardware quickly and easily to the desired fieldbus and Industrial Ethernet standard. Whether you need PROFIBUS, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, CANopen or EtherCAT - with UNIGATE you won't be Lost In Communication.

Content

The first part of the seminar shows you how to connect your hardware to the required fieldbus or Industrial Ethernet standard using Deutschmann's UNIGATE modules.

The second part of the seminar presents you with the basics and application of the Deutschmann Script language "Protocol Developer". The Script language allows the mapping of complex applications, which cannot be presented via a pure configuration.

Each workshop participant receives an EVA-KIT for the Deutschmann Script language. With this bus-independent Evaluation Kit Scripts can be developed and tested. This Script runs on all types of series of Deutschmann UNIGATE Gateways.

The seminar participants are asked to bring a laptop with a Windows operating system and full admin rights, as well as potential hardware for practical exercises for the workshop.

Agenda

Start 8:30 AM
Greeting
  • Brief overview of the important fieldbus systems and Industrial Ethernet
