device as well. The Gateway Profibus is always Slave in the Profibus network.

Basically two shared memory areas (Exchange Areas) are used to exchange information

Input and output areas always refer to the Master: this means that the Gateway writes to the
Input buffer and the PLC writes to the Output buffer.
The dimension of the exchange areas can be set to different values by the PLC through the
GSD file: the Gateway Profibus allows up to
152 bytes as a combined total of the Input
and
Output Areas
.
