Hi Everybody,
I am fairly new to profibus(siemens plc's).
In a cell I am working on, depending on the type of part being run some time a profibus node is not being used ie the field device connecting the sensors will not be there. Profibus cable to this device will be have to remain open. Could any bodu give me some info on how to go about this. What are my options. Has anybody used trunk and drop cable connecting the nodes in profibus network like devicenet.
Thanks,
