Function
The GW 4 with RS-422 interface and LDP protocol can be used to configure and visualize the GCP comfortably
with a PC or laptop. The GW 4 serves as stationary solution here with connection to a converter, which estab-
lishes a connection to a PC or industrial PC over a distance of 1000m. This example shows a solution for estab-
lishing a connection over large distances to a control station or visualization system.
Different applications can be performed using the software LeoPC1. These applications include:
• Configuration
• Visualization with data recording
• Remote control (start and stop, transferring the set values for real power and generator power factor)
• Transfer standard values to and from the harddrive
Preconditions for this example
• GCP with CAN connection (X1/X5)
• GW4B/RS422 LDP
• Converter RS-422 to RS-232, e.g. ADVANTECH ADAM-4520 (www.advantech.com)
• or ICSDataCom 485HF9: (
www.icsdatacom.com)
• PC or laptop with Windows OS 98SE, NT, ME, 2000, XP and free Com port (USB to COM adapter
also possible)
• Application software LeoPC1 version 3.1 or higher
• Configuration file available (*.cfg, *.asm, *.opt,...)
