Getting Started

Migration to Firmware V2.0.0.0 for netTAP 100

Due to a major stack update of the firmware, the DTMs for the netTAP 100 are changed in SYCON.net. During the configuration of a netTAP 100 devices it is possible to choose between different DTMs in order to define the desired protocol combination:

In order to enable the configuration of netTAP 100 gateways with the old and new firmware, use the following DTMs for the respective firmware version:

DTM nameFirmware version
Open Modbus/TCP V3V2.0.0.0
POWERLINK Controlled Node V3V2.0.0.0
PROFINET IO Controller V3V2.0.0.0
Open Modbus/TCPV1.7.0.8
POWERLINK Controlled NodeV1.7.0.8
PROFINET IO ControllerV1.7.0.8
OthersV2.0.0.0 and V1.7.0.8

The version of the firmware is shown when the desired conversion is selected. (See here (1)).

Start the “Gateways_setup.exe” executable (root directory of the download package). The setup automatically selects the minimal required software components. In case you need to program a custom serial protocol, select and install all components.

First Steps

  1. Install the above mentioned software components.

  2. Connect the power supply to the device.

  3. Connect the device to the PC for configuration using the appropriate method. For further details, please see folder “netTAP_Manuals” under “Documentation” of this DVD.

  4. Start SYCON.net.

  5. In the device catalog, select the gateway to be configured and place it in the network view (2).

  6. Open the configuration menu (right click) of the gateway (3).

  7. Select the desired conversion under "Configuration" (4).

  8. Select and download the firmware to the gateway (5).

  9. Set up a network configuration and conversion rules via SYCON.net. For more information see folder “SYCON.net Configuration Software” under “\Documentation\Configuration_Manuals” in this DVD and the “Documentation” section).

  10. Download the configuration to the gateway (6).
  11. The gateway is automatically restarted and starts the desired firmware with the corresponding configuration.
  12. Integrate the gateway into the desired application.
