System role
This section explains what the product does and where it acts in the surrounding system.
- Function
- Routes AS-i field-device data into the PROFIBUS DP controller network.
- System position
- Sits between AS-i field devices and the PROFIBUS DP master in the automation system.
- Upstream / inputs
- Receives AS-i input and diagnostic data from connected AS-i slaves.
- Downstream / outputs
- Transmits AS-i process data and gateway status to the PROFIBUS DP master.
- Limitations
- Unknown: installed bus configuration, successor interchangeability, service condition, and current commercial availability require separate evidence.
