By creating the data conversion between the EtherNet/IP and PROFIBUS DP through mapping, there are two data buffers in the GT200-DPM-EI. The gateway will write the data from the PROFIBUS DP devices to the network input buffer, then output to the corresponding EtherNet/IP Scanner by POLL I/O write command.
