Hello Friends,
I have query regarding TwinCat and one of the MOXA product which is MGate 5101-PBM-MN. I have never worked with this device before. The way I can understand is this is a master device in the network and TwinCAT is slave. I have uploaded the GSD files of MOXA to TwinCAT but then it started asking all sort of different questions. In TwinCAT when I go for append module, I dont know which option to choose out of approx. 100. Plus this MOXA unit which I understand is a kind of converter from profibus to different protocol ( may be wrong). This will be supplied by customer and as a hardware it is sitting at one of customer's test facility centre. A million dollar question Do I need to have this hardware with me to go ahead with programming ? I know I can disable this device in TwinCAT and do the programming but in future is it simply enabling this port and asking customer to connect this device via profibus. I bet it cannot be as simple as it sounds.
Any help in this matter will be highly appreciated.
Regards
Manoj
