It would poll them directly, and the tags created in that communication channel would be updated cyclically from the bus. The Online Help for this channel will give you a good amount of details on what is required to set it up. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier

In WinCC we used the Profibus-DP.chn and we configured a DP-slave with theslave adres. Then we inserted tags into the channel. But now communication. I willread the channel's help file as you suggested, Hope I can find anything. Any ideas? Jaap
