Topologies of SIMATIC NET PROFIBUS Networks

Design

The DP/DP coupler is installed in a compact, 40 mm wide casing.

The module can be installed (vertically when possible) on a standard rail with no gaps being necessary.

The coupler is attached to each PROFIBUS-DP network via an integrated 9-pin sub-D connector.

How the DP/DP Coupler Works

The DP/DP coupler permanently copies output data of one network to the input data of the other network (and vice-versa).

Parameter Assignment

The PROFIBUS-DP addresses are set using two DIP switches on the top of the device. The configuration is set using the GSD file and the configuration tool of the attached PROFIBUS-DP master. The data length is set with the relevant configuration tool.
