Fieldbus gateways
In DP-V1 slave mode only reading of I&M0 data is supported. This can be triggered by a
Class 1 or Class 2 master.
Operational data transmitted by the FX0-GPRO PROFIBUS DP
The FX0-GPRO GSD file provides input/output data blocks (virtual I/O device modules)
containing the operational data. These 5 blocks must be projected in a DP configurator in
natural order (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). No other sequence is possible.
Depending on the type of PLC used, further modules may be displayed (e.g.“universal
module”). These modules are not needed and should be ignored.
The data blocks 1-4 contain 12 bytes each, data block 5 contains 2 bytes.
The contents of the data blocks are freely selectable, but are preconfigured in the Flexi
Soft Designer configuration software:
