1 Introduction
The intelligent PROFIBUS-DP gateways of COMSOFT's XPS series allow the
coupling of any serial devices with RS232 or RS422/485 interface to
PROFIBUS-DP according to the European Standard EN50170. The protocol
conversions required for the coupling are executed either by means of a
transparent universal driver or by loadable device-specific converters. The
following figure shows a typical connection:
