Comsoft Profibus DP With Segment Coupler Connection Issues

[DirkW]

This is not a firmware issue but a default mode a Master/Slave Module will enter with this firmware.

You have to disable the Autoslave mode in order to use it as a Master. The driver brings an example that allows you to do that. (Slave_AutoSlave).

I have verified that the AutoSlave mode is off and was off when the originial error message appeared.  The error message is still persisting.  I've checked everything that I can think of with no success.  Any help would be appreciated.

Please check if the cRIO PB is reachable. Open the Hardware selection dialog (menu: Online --> Driver selection...) within Configurator II. Press the "VISA-Config." button, select the cRIO PB hardware and then press OK. If you get the same error message "Error in communication with...", refer to the "cRIO PB DP Master Getting Started" manual and check the required settings - especially the VISA settings within the NI-MAX under "My System-->Software-->NI-VISA-->VISA Options-->Remote + Security" and "Remote Systems-->cRIO-->Software-->NI-VISA-->VISA Options-->Security". If the settings are ok and the error is still existing send (mailto:support@comsoft.de) the 3 log files of the Configurator II.

All the settings look fine to me in MAX.  I am actually able to download the configuration to the cRIO module with the error message appearing when I try the "Monitor / Modify connect."  I have sent the three log files to support@comsoft.de.

DirkW,

I have been in contact with Comsoft over the past month trying to track down the problem with the cRIO PB module with no success.  They now recommend that I either get a loaner module or a replacement.  Do you know who I should contact about getting said replacement?  I tried to do a support request but the only support for Profibus is through the forums.  Any help would be appreciated.
