Hi

I have to add new slave device to the profibus 
network (PLC siemens). For this I have to change configuration binary file using Softing 
Profibus DP configurator. Do you know where i can find 
this software?(I don't have orginal CD form this robot). On new robot ware there is only configuration program for 
profinet. 

Thanks for any help

    A Bin file is always needed for the PLC Master since its represent the network and all included units to contact. So if ABB controller is Master than yes softings profinet configurator tool is needed
    to create a new bin file whenever units on the network are changed.
    Software is not free of charge so please contact local ABB Robotics
