SECTION 3
Operation
This section describes how to operate the PROFIBUS-DP Gateway to Host Link/Compoway-F Unit in a network. It will
discuss setting up a network, configuring all the connected devices and starting the network. Furthermore, it provides
information the I/O data exchange performance and it also provides information on how to monitor a network, using the
unit and monitoring the status of the TC by using CX-Thermo (not shipped by the PROFIBUS-DP Gateway Unit).
