Hi All,
Firstly I do not know much about profibus. But have allot of machines using it.
I have a machine that has Siemens 840D cnc system and has a jack with a profibus connected Baluff measurement sensor the problem is that the CPU is not getting a reading from the sensor. We have tried replacing the sensor and checked the cable but cannot get the system to read the sensor. I see the sensor has dip switches for setting the address and if I look at the PLC program hardware configuration it shows the sensor with the same address that it has been set to. Is there anything else I need to take a look at?
I am not sure if we just had to set the address and plug in or is there something else?
