PROFIBUS DP MASTER DESCRIPTION
The FieldServer PROFIBUS DP Master driver can be used to transfer I/O data with up to 125 PROFIBUS
DP Slave devices. The FieldServer is programmed with an embedded database using the required 3

modules to be transferred with each slave. The tool requires the input of GSD/E files for each slave to be
connected.
