NTRODUCTION

The GatewayDTM 

is Pro DP/PA Link DTM

 allows the integration 

of a Siemens Profibus DP/PA Link device into any FDT Engi-
neering and Configuration Tool (PACTware, FieldCare or other 
FDT Containers). So the engineering and commissioning task for 
a remote device can be handled from one central workplace.

The GatewayDTM can be used together with the Communica-
tionDTM 

is Pro FDT

 and a Profibus interface (USB and PCI) of 

ifak system

 or with a communication interface and FDT software 

of any manufacturer.

tion of a Profibus Master interface and its CommunicationDTM.
