Hi folks,
I'm here on site desperately trying to get my network up and running.
I have had a modicum of success in that I can now see one of the transmitters in the PLC data table (can't make sense of the data yet though). The trouble is it isn't the transmitter I think it is according to the address I believe that I am reading.
COM Profibus configures what it calls 'slots' on the PA side of the IM157, I believe that the slot coresponds to the Profibus address. What is appearing to write to slot 4 should be the device with address 4 (I believe), but the device that I am reliably informed is addressed as 4 is unpowered.
Any suggestions?
Also has any one any experience of using E&H Commuwin II with this kit? I cannot seem to get the server to detect any stations.
Thanks in advance for any help.
