1 Safety
1.1 Designated use
Fieldgate FXA720 is a PROFIBUS/Ethernet Gateway with integrated web server that can be used:
• as a PROFIBUS DP/Ethernet gateway within a PROFIBUS monitoring and control system
• as a remote data acquisition module for PROFIBUS devices connected to its PROFIBUS DP
channels.
More information on these applications is to be found in the manual, or visit the Fieldgate web page
at www.products.endress.com/fieldgate.
1.2 Installation, commissioning and operation
Fieldgate FXA720 must be installed, connected, operated and maintained according to the

Warning
• You require a unique IP address to set up Fieldgate. The use of IP addresses is strictly
controlled. Usually your system administrator will be authorised to allocate unique addresses
for your Fieldgates. Assigning an unauthorised address to a Fieldgate may result in conflicts
within your system and the failure of the associated devices!
1.3 Operational safety
The unit must not be used in explosion hazardous areas. The permissible ambient conditions given
in the technical data must be complied with.
Repair
Do not open the housing of the Fieldgate FXA720. It does not contain any parts that need to be
maintained or repaired by the user. In the event of a fault or defect, return the unit to the vendor.
Opening the unit will void the warranty!
1.4 Technical improvement
Endress+Hauser reserves the right to make technical improvements toits hardware and software at
any time and without prior notification. Where such improvements have no effect on the operation
of the equipment, they are not documented. If the improvements effect operation, a new version of
the operating instructions is normally issued, see Revision History.

3 Function and System Design
3.1 Function
Fieldgate FXA720 connects host systems to PROFIBUS DP networks via Ethernet. It can be
equipped with up to three RS-485 ports, each giving access to up to 125 PROFIBUS DP devices.
Fieldgate is designed for Windows and web-based applications such as configuration, monitoring,
and visualisation. Process data can be monitored with the integrated Web server.
Fieldgate can also be integrated into system applications via OPC, DTM or XML, eg.:
• OPC for exchanging data with applications such as SCADA/HMI OPC clients,
e.g. P View SPV200
• DTM for exchanging data with FDT frame applications, e.g. FieldCare
• XML for exchanging data with Microsoft Office applications or simple visualisation applications
such as Field Viewer SPV10
