Confirm that the DTM for the module was automatically added to the project (Tools > DTM Browser).

NOTE: When you add a module to the local rack configuration, the corresponding communication DTM is automatically added to the list ( All Devices > Device types > Communication Devices).

Repeat these steps to add more BMENOR2200H modules to the PLC bus .

NOTE: The local rack in an M580 system can hold a maximum of four communication modules, including RTU modules.
