I am on site and can only get a 8MB12 and 8MB13 to communicate. Is there a solution out there for the 8MB11????

 

Hello darren;

Unfortunately, the 6ES5 318-8MB11 can only communicate over Sinec L2-DP, which was an early implementation of Profibus-DP and is not toatlly compatible. You must use a 318-8MB12 or newer to talk Profibus-DP to a S7 CPU.

Hope this helps,
Daniel Chartier

 

Thanks alot, couldn't find this precious info in Siemens or other German forums...
