  • Thanks,

    I have gone through this manual before already. But this has the information about the option 709-1. My system does not have that option instead i have 840-1 (EtherNet/IP Fieldbus Adapter, DSQC 669).  Now the problem is should i defined my unit type as internal slave or not? Because i was reading some manuals yesterday and i found below information.

    ''Internal Slave specifies if a unit with this Unit Type is an internal slave or not.This parameter specifies the type of the slave device. The built-in slave module in thePROFIBUS master/slave card (DSQC 637) and the PROFIBUS Fieldbus Adapter (DSQC667) are defined as internal slaves. All other slave devices are defined with this parameter setto No.''
  • In that case, perhaps the Application Manual EtherNet/IP Anybus Adapter would be more useful to you
