Important note:

When subsequently ordering the AG/AG coupling software, it is essential to specify the serial number of the memory card for the automation system on which this functional extension is to be in- stalled. The AG-AG coupling software is copy-protected and can only be used on the automation system whose serial number is present in the software.

The current version of the AG/AG coupling software can be used starting with version M02.00 or M01.06 of the AS x88/TM system software. In order to use the full functionality of PROFIBUS- AG/AG, it is necessary to have the version M02.01 or M01.07 of AS x88/TM.
