Segment couplers are configuration free and transparent: The segment coupler will “display” all devices connected to the PA network as if they were DP field devices. The communication speed on the PA side is independent of the DP side. All PA devices are configured on Master Class I and Class II as DP instrumentation. PA devices only “see” the PA master of the segment coupler, which simulates the DP Master.
Power Hub versions of the segment coupler are based on motherboards – with optional redundancy for both the power module and the gateway components. They connect up to four independent segments to one DP-Master. The basic models couple single PA segments to DP and provide power to the segment. All components are hosted in one small housing.

The Anybus- X-gateway® family consists of over 180 certified and proven industrial gateways connecting almost any two industrial networks. The Anybus X-gateway is a simple, easy to use communications gateway that allows the user to connect almost any two fieldbus systems.
Fieldbus protocols supported are:
- Profibus master or slave
- DeviceNet scanner or adapter
- AS-Interface master
- CANopen slave
- ControlNet adapter
- CC-Link slave
- Modbus RTU slave
- Modbus Plus slave
- Interbus slave
- FIPIO slave
Building Automation Protocols supported are:

Slave to Slave Gateway:
Many applications involve the need to take two different fieldbus networks with each having its own master control and allow them to exchange data. This happens commonly in applications where two Programmable Logic Controllers need to exchange information. The Anybus® X-gateway helps the user accomplish this by acting as an I/O slave device on each fieldbus. Each fieldbus master writes to the output table of the Anybus® X-gateway on its network and then the Anybus® X-gateway maps this data to the input table of the opposite fieldbus where it can be easily read by the other master.
Master to Slave Gateway:
There are many applications where the user needs to interface field I/O devices to a controller that has a different fieldbus from the I/O. In these instances, the Anybus® X-gateway serves as a fieldbus master on one side while acting as a fieldbus slave on the other. The I/O data is polled from the field devices then mapped into the I/O table of the controller.
