Why Choose the Original Model
- Native BL67 Integration: The BL67-GW-DP is purpose-built for the BL67 I/O platform, ensuring zero-compromise compatibility with all BL67 digital, analog, and specialty modules.
- IP67 Field-Mount Design: Unlike rack-mounted alternatives, the BL67-GW-DP installs directly at the machine or process point, eliminating long cable runs and reducing wiring costs.
- Proven PROFIBUS DP V1 Support: Supports acyclic parameter access (Class 2 master), enabling advanced diagnostics and parameterization without additional hardware.
- Compact Footprint: Modular snap-on design reduces panel space requirements versus traditional DIN-rail gateway solutions.
- Wide Temperature Range: -25 °C to +70 °C operation suits outdoor, cold-storage, and high-ambient industrial environments.

Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to confirm the BL67-GW-DP is the correct choice for your application:
| Requirement | BL67-GW-DP Suitability |
|---|---|
| Fieldbus: PROFIBUS DP | ✅ Native support |
| IP67 field installation | ✅ Rated IP67 |
| Up to 16 I/O modules per node | ✅ Supported |
| Fieldbus: EtherNet/IP | ❌ Use BL67-GW-EN instead |
| Fieldbus: PROFINET | ❌ Use BL67-GW-PNIO instead |
| More than 16 I/O modules per node | ❌ Consider multi-node topology |
| Acyclic parameter access (DP V1) | ✅ Supported |
| Hazardous area (ATEX/IECEx) | ❌ Standard version not rated; consult TURCK for Ex variants |

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can the BL67-GW-DP replace a BL67-GW-DP-S directly?
A: In most cases yes, as the BL67-GW-DP-S is a successor with backward-compatible GSD files. Verify baud rate and diagnostic requirements before substitution.
Q: Is the BL67-GW-DP compatible with PROFIBUS PA?
A: No. PROFIBUS PA requires a DP/PA coupler or link. The BL67-GW-DP supports PROFIBUS DP only.
Q: Can I use this gateway with a PROFINET master?
A: No. For PROFINET masters, use the BL67-GW-PNIO. PROFIBUS DP and PROFINET are not directly interchangeable without a protocol converter.
Q: How many BL67-GW-DP nodes can I have on one PROFIBUS segment?
A: PROFIBUS DP supports up to 126 addresses per segment (0–125). Each BL67-GW-DP occupies one DP address. Repeaters may be required beyond 32 nodes per segment.
Q: Do you provide the GSD file?
A: Yes. Contact [email protected] and we will provide the correct GSD file for your firmware version.
Q: What is the lead time for BL67-GW-DP?
A: In-stock units ship within 1–3 business days. For out-of-stock items, typical lead time is 2–4 weeks depending on sourcing channel.
