General data GE Consumer & Industrial P485 Modbus to Profibus Converter Chapter 3: Data exchange Data exchange Overview DESCRIPTION Data from the fieldbus (Profibus) and the sub network (Modbus) is stored in an internal memory buffer. This is a easy method for data exchange where the fieldbus control system simply reads and writes data to pre-defined memory locations, and the serial sub network also use the same internal memory buffer to read and write data. Refer to Figure 3-2: Data exchan
