For this example, the Ethernet port on the PLC is being used to communicate with the PLC. It
will also be used to upload/download the project later. Set up your computer and software to
communicate with your PLC. Once communications is properly set up, select the Detect button
and the software will detect the actual controller type and the PROFIBUS master module
connected to it as follows:
Connect a standard PROFIBUS cable between the PROFIBUS master and the C441Q/S module.
Use the standard PROFIBUS connectors and turn on the termination on one or both ends. Refer to
the C441 Motor Insight User Manual (publication MN04209001E) for details on the PROFIBUS
cable connector pinouts if needed.
