Hi All,
I have an application where I am connecting a Terminator I/O Profibus base (T1H-PBC) to our CTI-2500 (Ti545/Siemens 505) PLC. Added the GSD file, everything connects ok. The issue I'm having is with the thermocouple card (T1F-14THM). According to the manual, each channel should give me a double word; one word for temp, one word for sign and burnout detection.
When adding the card in the Profibus configurator, I'm only given the option to assign 16 words when I'd expect to be reading 32. I found some information online about achieving this through Modbus with another PLC, and each channel gave a double word.
In our case, we have WX100 assigned to Ch.1 temperature, WX101 to Ch.2 temp, etc., but I'd expect to have WX100 to Ch.1 temp, WX101 to Ch.1 status, WX102 to Ch.2 temp, etc.
All temperatures are reading ok on each channel so it's almost as if this mystery second word doesn't exist despite what the manual says.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
