Hi;
I am helping our programmer change computers in our controlroom to faster newer models and have run into almost unbelievable problems. We found that we could not use our old profibus boards because the newer computers wolud not support the isa architecture.After contacting Siemens we were able to get the new PCI boards and software. Now it seems that these newer boards (profibus&DP) don't support the slave configuration. Is there anyone out there that has conquered this problem, we really think there must be a way to upgrade our computers withiut having to change our complete system.
