Note When adding Master DTM to the network, it is automatically assigned the
PROFIBUS network address 1. This address can be changed, after opening
the Master DTM.
Example After adding the Master DTM to the Network View, repeat (one of) the proce-
dures as outlined above to add slave DTMs to the Master DTM. In the proce-
dures above, the highest level for adding slave DTMs is the Master DTM.
For the example network, a CJ1W-PRM21 PROFIBUS-DP Master unit has
been added to the network. To complete the example network, add
• A CJ1W-PRT21 PROFIBUS-DP Slave Unit.
• A CPM1A-PRT21 PROFIBUS-DP Slave Unit.
• A F-150-PRT PROFIBUS-DP Vision System.
Note When adding slave DTMs to the Master DTM, they are automatically assigned
their PROFIBUS network addresses, in ascending order, i.e. the first slave is
assigned address 2, the second address 3, etc. The addresses can be
changed in the slave DTM User Interface.
