11.3. N-Bus Addressing
MCS-08 modules communicate to each other over the internal N-bus. The MCS-08xx gateway module is the
master of the internal N-bus. All other MCS-08 modules are slaves and have to be addressed to the gateway
module. The N-bus addressing can be done by using the xFace PC software (refer to chapter 5.3) or via setup
switch (refer to chapter 5.8).
11.4. ProfiNet Setup
The ProfiNet setup is done by the xFace software. Connect the gateway module with your PC via the RS-232C
service port on the module as shown in figure 11.2. After connecting the xFace software with the gateway
module select the Gateway tab. The Gateway tab is shown in figure 11.3. It displays all gateway information
and ProfiNet settings.
