Hello,

I have problem with addressing my Temposonics sensor. It's a new one and it have default DP address. I'm trying to connect it to Siemens PG4 Programmer. 

I've attached pinout for sensor. For IN connector I'm using pins 1, 2, 5, 6 and in OUT connector I've placed active bus termination. In DB9 connector of MPI/DP in PG4 I used pins 3(line B) and 8(line A). 

I'm using PG/PC PROFIBUS interface. When I want to use "Assign PROFIBUS Address.." option in Simatic Manager I get an error: Online: No other active partner can be found. 

What can cause it, bad termination or something ?

Regards

Split from Assign profibus node address.

Hello,

maybe standard rule that Profibus network need to be terminated on both ends need to be implemented.
