• For GENPADSB, the transparent segment coupler displays all devices connected to the PROFIBUS PA
network as if they were PROFIBUS DP field devices.
• For GENPAGWDSB, the PROFIBUS DP/PA link, Siemens DP/PA link IM-157, is a DP slave that acts as a
proxy for the PA field devices. The DP/PA Link reserves one PROFIBUS DP slave address.

Profibus network. If the complete Profibus network is down, the status of all slave devices is set to
"Communication Error" immediately.
