10.1 Overview
If the robot controller has a PROFIBUS-DP slave board built-in, it may communicate
with external devices according to the PROFIBUS-DP–compliant communications
protocol. The robot controller works as a slave unit.
The robot controller may exchange I/O data with PROFIBUS-DP–compliant field
devices of different manufacturers.
