Connecting a PG/PC to a SIMOTION C
You can interconnect the programming device / PC
● with the PROFIBUS of SIMOTION C (connector X8 and/or X9) using a connecting cable
(see chapter Network components for a PROFIBUS subnet (Page 125)).
Information on the respective cable lengths for PROFIBUS DP can be found in chapter
Onboard measuring system interface (C230-2, C240) (Page 52).
