Hello,
Does anyone know how to change the MPI Address on a Siemens TP270 Operator Panel? We are currently in the process of upgrading a CNC/Robotic cell so I would like to have both Operator panels (the new and old) connected on the same profibus network with out causing any conflict problems. Of course one of the 2 panels will be disabled while the cell is running. I've connected everything yet still cant see it on the MPI network nor does it seem to be communicating with the PLC. I've checked all the termination switches and they seem to be correct as I can view devices connected after the TP270 OP on the network. I also checked the dip switches in the back and the are all set to "OFF" (Switches 1-4) as recommended for RS485/MPI/Profibus DP on the IF1B port.
Any help would be greatly appreciated..thank you kindly for your time,
Cheers,
R.K.
