How can I monitor module and slave status with the MVI56-PDPV1 and other PDPMV1 PROFIBUS master modules?
The PDPMV1 operating state is stored in the MVIxxPDPMV1.Status.Fieldbus.FB_op_state tag: 00 = Offline 40 = Stop 80 = Clear C0 = OperateTo determine slave status, the MVIxxPDPMV1.Status.Fieldbus.FB_Slave_Data_xfer array contains a bitmap of all the PROFIBUS ...

The data movement in the PROFIBUS Slave module (PDPS) is as follows: Input registers (0 - 99) move from the PROFIBUS Slave module to the PROFIBUS Master. Output registers (100 - 199) move from the PROFIBUS Master to the PROFIBUS Slave module. With the PROFIBUS protocol, input and...

Not all PROFIBUS DP v1 Master devices support Master to Master or "peer-to peer" messaging, as some do. ProSoft PROFIBUS DP v1 Master solutions (those with -PDPMV1 in their part numbers) do not have peer-to-peer support built-in. However, a PDPMV1 ...

Many things can result in these symptoms. One of the most common causes is that not all slave manufacturers use a standard byte order. It is very possible that when you think you're sending a value of "1" to a slave's bit address 0, you may be...
