Define the head address of the master module.

햶

Configure the slave station. In this example it is a head module of the MELSEC ST series
(ST1H-PB).

PROFIBUS/DP Communication

Configuring the PROFIBUS/DP Network

Training Manual GX IEC Developer

17 - 3

Enter the head address of the

PROFIBUS/DP master module in this field.

In this example the module is the 2nd

special function module.

Therefore it has the adress "1".

First select the PROFIBUS

address of the slave station

Then select the mounted modules

of the ST system (see next page).
