Preparing the data transfer
The precondition for communication with a master class 1 (PLC) is integration according to
table "Slave modes of SIMOCODE pro" and the setting for the PROFIBUS DP address.
You will find information about setting the address in Chapter "Setting the PROFIBUS DP
address" in Chapter "Commissioning and service" in the system manual.
