3.1.2 Connection diagrams
The mbGate PA is available as a 2-channel model and a 4-channel model. The Redundancy
Link (RDL) has no function in this version of the device. The 2-channel model has 2 physical
PROFIBUS segment connections (PA0 and PA1), while the 4-channel model supports 4
physical PROFIBUS segment connections (PA0 to PA3). Both models have two 10/100 Base-
T Ethernet ports (ETH1 and ETH2). The following diagrams show the side profile of the two
models with the input and output interfaces.
