12 PROFIBUS/PROFINET option
The 8400 protec HighLine controller is also available with a PROFIBUS or PROFINET interface in order
to take part in the data transfer of a fieldbus system.
When using one of these options, the major advantage for the user is the possibility of
parameterising, controlling, and diagnosing the drive system via the available fieldbus.
12.1 Selection of the communication option
If you insert the 8400 protec HighLine controller via the Insert a component dialog into the Project
view of the »Engineer«, you will be queried in the second dialog step Device modules about the
communication and safety system in the device.

Select the available option in the Communication list field in order that the related
communication parameters & parameterisation dialogs are available in the »Engineer«.
