After setting up the network, they are put in Data Exchange without a download. The I/O’s can be watched and manipulated easily. If necessary class 2 functions can be used on all addresses in the network, even if they are not configured or locked by another master. ProfiCaptain is integrated in ProfiTrace 2.

ProfiCaptain is the perfect solution for a straightforward master system.
