This document provides technical information for the Series 8 Profibus Gateway Module, released with Experion LX. 

The PROFIBUS Gateway Module provides a common module platform to support the interface to the PROFIBUS DP 

and the C300 Controller. The PGM is developed in the Series 8 form factor for use with the C300 Controller. The Series 

8 form factor employs an Input Output Termination Assembly (IOTA) and an electronics module which mounts and 

connects to the IOTA. 

As a PROFIBUS gateway, PGM is always a master and communicates with the PROFIBUS compatible slave devices. 

The PGM mounts in the same fashion and shares all characteristics, power and grounding, certifications, and meets all 

environmental rating as all other Series 8 components. 

The PGM is optionally redundant and supports two DP networks per module.

The PGM supports the following functions.

• Redundancy 

• Cold start command 

• Experion LX by Experion events and alarms 

• Experion LX by Experion Bulk Build utility 

• Experion LX by Experion import/export functionality 

• Qualification and Version Control
