Operation via fieldbus
The following sections are only relevant for the BM40IE and BM40PB device
variants. The BM40 has no fieldbus.
You will find the device description files for cyclic data traffic between the PLC
and ClipX on the HBM website: https://www.hbm.com/ClipX. After connecting to
the ClipX through your browser, you can also download these files and the
object dictionary by way of the Device Storage menu.

Connecting the fieldbus
The ClipX operates on all fieldbuses as a slave; it cannot be operated as a mas-
ter.

Important: You must fit termination resistors at the start and end of
the PROFIBUS network. The resistors are not fitted in the ClipX.
There is, however, a PROFIBUS connector which contains the resis-
tors.
