AC800F as profibus slave ?
Is it possible to use AC 800F as a Profibus Slave? In all documentation that I've read, it was clear that FI 830F is a Profibus Master. But it's not write anywhere (I mean, there is no phrase "FI 830F is a Profibus Master interface"). If I really need to use AC 800F as a Profibus Slave, what is the suggested solution?

In the Mounting and Installation Instructions, section 7.2 Profibus module FI 830F, the first line states: "Module FI 830F is a Profibus-DP master according to DIN 19245/EN 50170 suitable for rapid data exchange with decentralized peripherals (DP) in manufacturing."
Also listed in the AC 800F data sheet, the description of the FI 830F states that "The module is the master on the Profibus line.."
There is no way to use the AC 800F as a profibus slave. Nevertheless we can have an alternative way,just use DP/DP coupler,which allow the communication between DP master and master.
Additional you can however, use both the AC 800F (via FI 820F module) and AC 700F as a modbus slave.
