Architecture
When operating with a single segment with Fuchs coupler, the component
architecture is for example as shown in Fig. 4.1. Fieldgate SFG500 is connected to the
Ethernet backbone via the LAN 1 Ethernet socket and to the PROFIBUS DP segment. The
segment itself is connected to a PLC or DCS, which acts as Class 1 master. PROFIBUS PA
devices are connected to the network via the coupler.
