In This Chapter
This chapter will go through the process of setting up your ProLinx Wireless
PROFIBUS modules to communicate in your network. We will first configure a
Wireless PROFIBUS Master device to communicate with your slave devices.
Then we will configure the wireless network which will allow the two gateways to
communicate. In the next chapter we will configure the data exchange command
portion of both ProLinx modules to move your data from one to the other
wirelessly.

Configuring the Wireless PROFIBUS Master

on the module, located directly above the PROFIBUS Master port.
