SIMOTION devices. These are interconnected via a communication network. This is shown
schematically:
● In the PROFIBUS DP example: A base machine with several identical modules, which
● In the PROFINET IO example: A base machine with several identical modules, which
The same SIMOTION project (i.e. the same SIMOTION devices, drives, technology objects,
user programs) is loaded on all machine modules. The user program of each module
determines the necessary communication address and sets it up.
Note
As an alternative to changing the communication address of the machine module, you can
also activate different configurations (Activating the configuration (Page 22)).
