Dear PLCnext team, I have a question about Profibus® Slave support on PLCnext controller. Would it be possible to support Profibus® Slave on PLCnext controller ? Our customer is looking for a Profibus® Slave solution that runs on PLCnext controller.

I know that the PLCnext controller act as Profibus® Master with Profibus® extension module which will be released soon.
How about the Profibus® Slave ? I’d appreciate it if you could give any advice for a Profibus Slave solution. Sincerely,
Hiroki Kannon

Hi Hiroki, I guess the easiest would be to just use the AXC F IL Adapt 1020304 with an IB IL PB MA 2700630. The IL PB MA can be used as PB slave and in this mode is also no difficult configuration necessary (just a dip switch for the data length). Take care, Frank

Hi!, reviving this old topic but, it’s possible to do this now with the AXL F BK PB Module?

Kind regards.

Hi, it’s not possible to connect a Bus Coupler (including an AXL F BK PB) to either the left or right side of an AXC F x152 PLCnext Control device.

Frank’s answer is still the current answer to the original question.
