Once online with the PLX51-PBM in the PLX50 Configuration Utility the user will be
able to scan the PROFIBUS network for slave devices.
IMPORTANT: If the incorrect PROFIBUS parameters has been configured (e.g. BAUD rate) it will result
in the PLX51-PBM not seeing any slave devices on the PROFIBUS network.
