1 PROFIBUS X30 DP SLAVE DESCRIPTION

The FieldServer Profibus DP Slave driver can be used to emulate a single Slave station on a Profibus network. DP
Masters can open a connection of up to 244 Bytes of Input and 244 Bytes of Output data, but not exceeding a
combined total of 416 Bytes to the FieldServer. The FieldServer can be added to the Profibus network with the use
of the supplied GSD file for the ANYBUS card. Connection to the Profibus network is via a DB9 port on the
ANYBUS card.
