    BUS SETTINGS The ACCON-NetLink-PRO compact can be used with three different bus systems: PPI, MPI and PROFIBUS. Configuration example MPI The most important setting in connection with the bus configuration is the station address. This is the address which has the ACCON-NetLink- PRO compact on the bus when going online.
