Turck BL67-GM-DPV1 - IP67 Profibus DP V1 - Industrial Automation Stainless - Gateway Module

The Turck BL67-GM-DPV1 is a high-performance PROFIBUS DP-V1 gateway module designed for seamless integration into industrial automation systems. Part of Turck's modular BL67 I/O family, this device acts as a communication interface between field-level sensors/actuators and PROFIBUS DP-V1 networks. Its ruggedized housing, constructed from chemical-resistant polyamide (PA), ensures durability in harsh environments. The module supports plug-and-play installation via M12 connectors, enabling rapid deployment in distributed control architectures. With IP67/IP69K protection, it operates reliably in areas exposed to dust, moisture, and mechanical stress, making it ideal for automotive, pharmaceutical, and heavy machinery applications.

• Communication Protocol: PROFIBUS DP-V1 (IEC 61158/EN 50170 compliant), supporting cyclic and acyclic data exchange.
• Power Supply: 24 V DC (±10%) with reverse polarity protection.
• Operating Temperature: -25°C to +70°C (-13°F to +158°F).
• Data Transfer Rate: Configurable up to 12 Mbps, with automatic baud rate detection.
• I/O Capacity: Supports up to 244 bytes of input/output data per cycle, scalable for complex systems.
• Connectors: 12-pin M12 male (bus interface) and M12/M8 field device ports.
• Diagnostics: Integrated LED indicators for power, bus status, and module errors.
• Certifications: CE, UL, cULus, ATEX/IECEx (for hazardous zones, if applicable).

The BL67-GM-DPV1 is widely used in industrial environments requiring robust PROFIBUS communication. It serves as a central hub for connecting sensors (e.g., proximity switches, temperature sensors) and actuators (e.g., valves, motors) in applications such as:

• Factory Automation: Coordinating assembly lines and robotic systems.
• Process Control: Monitoring and controlling flow, pressure, and level in chemical plants.
• Material Handling: Managing conveyor belts and sorting systems in logistics.
• Energy Management: Integrating substation devices in power distribution networks.

Its ability to handle real-time data ensures synchronization with PLCs and SCADA systems, critical for Industry 4.0 workflows.

1. Protocol Flexibility: Full compliance with PROFIBUS DP-V1 standards allows integration with legacy and modern automation systems.
2. Modular Design: Hot-swappable configuration reduces downtime during maintenance or expansion.
3. Enhanced Diagnostics: Detailed error logging and LED status indicators simplify troubleshooting.
4. Extended Temperature Range: Operates reliably in extreme cold or heat, outperforming standard modules.
5. Space Efficiency: Compact dimensions (e.g., 45 mm x 120 mm x 75 mm) save panel space in dense control cabinets.

• Cyclic Data Exchange: Ensures real-time transmission of process values between field devices and controllers.
• Acyclic Services: Supports parameterization, diagnostics, and firmware updates via PROFIBUS master.
• Fail-Safe Operation: Built-in short-circuit and overload protection for connected devices.
• Configuration Tools: Compatible with Turck's TBEN-S software for parameter setting and network mapping.
• Scalability: Daisy-chaining via PROFIBUS connectors enables expansion without additional gateways.
