	To muddy things up a bit, we also must consider Profibus PA. (Process Automation) __________________ Remember when reading my post: (-1)^½ m (2)^½

	DP also stands for Differential Pressure. __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856

	Not in this case at all , It is used in Siemens Sematic PLC , they use Profibus DP , and you have to configure the DP , Keeping in the mind that it is same as Centralized modules. Here instead of arranging Modules in the rack you assign DP sations (Profibus nodes ) toa DP MAster. (Mater -Slave ) __________________ “Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.”
