DigiGate Profibus module interconnects a Profibus DP network with a Modbus RTU network. It works as either a gateway, operating as a master station in the Modbus network and as a slave station in the Profibus network.
Using its stored configuration program the DigiGate will read the data on the other devices (slaves) of the Modbus network and send the read values to the Profibus master. Additionally the DigiConfig will write the output to the Modbus slaves according to the Profibus master requests, providing a complete control of the Modbus network devices through the Profibus network.
The DigiConfig is easily configurable through the application DigiConfig for Windows®, which comes with the product.
