4.2 Network Configuration Example
In this example a simple PROFIBUS network has been created using the free Windows-based
network configuration tool Anybus NetTool for PROFIBUS. The network consists of 3 slaves and
an Anybus X-gateway PROFIBUS Master Interface acting as master.

The slave I/O addresses overview window in NetTool shows the resulting slave I/O map:

Note that the actual input/output addresses defined in the I/O map are the ones that will be
used on the other end.
