2.2 PROFIBUS components

For communication via PROFIBUS, components with a PROFIBUS interface are required.

● A communication module for programming device/PC connection via the PROFIBUS

interface:

● PROFIBUS connection to a programming device/PC via USB port (USB V2.0), e.g. with

the PROFIBUS adapter CP5711.

Structure: USB port (USB V2.0) + adapter with 9-pin SUB-D socket connector to connect

to PROFIBUS.

Used with driver SIMATIC Net PC Software Edition 2008 + SP2
