UNIGATE CO (M)-PROFIBUS DP - I encountered problems after downloading the existing/old GWC-file into my new device. Can you list the various steps?

  1. Open the desired GWC file with the configuration tool WINGATE.
  2. Then start the new device and perform the download
  3. Now perform an Upload from the device
  4. The parameter "CAN baud rate" is now at 125k.
  5. If the baudrate is set using the DIP switch you have to change the parameter. Therefor the parameter has to be selected. By double-clicking a window opens in which the "DIP switch" has to be selected.
  6. Afterwards perform another download
  7. Save the change, respectively the "new" GWC file

In a further download of these "new" GWC files into a new device the "CAN baud rate" parameter is now set accordingly and doesn't have to be changed again.

How to replace CANopen (Master) - PROFIBUS DP (Slave)?

  1. Start WINGATE:
  2. Connect the RS232 from PC to UNIGATE (3 wire, 3 pin connector)
  3. Connect power supply
  4. Upload file
  5. Save file
  6. Disconnect the old UNIGATE
  7. Connect the new UNIGATE (see Step 1)
  8. Afterwards click "File - Download" (write to device)


In WINGATE-File the Adresse 0x14 is set to 0

With the new Firmware V2.60 in WINGATE the config file has to be stored with the setting "baud rate: DIP Switch"
