Fig 95: I/O type "Status Bus0/1"
Tip
Define for each slave in the PROFIBUS system digital signals of the I/O type "Status"
and "Active bus". Thus, you can evaluate the status of the slaves when analyzing the
data at a later time.
12.2 PROFIBUS configuration
12.2.1 Sniffer operation
Here, the same notes are applicable as for sniffing on the regular PROFIBUS (see chap-
ter 11.1).
When using the sniffer symbol browser, the symbolic names are always assigned to the
CPU in Rack 0, as the common symbol table is only maintained in this CPU.
12.2.2 Operation as active slave
If you want to send internal data from the S7-400H to an ibaBM-DP active slave, you
need to configure the active slaves in the S7-400H hardware configuration under
SIMATIC Step 7.
For this purpose, you need the “ibaDPMSi.gsd“ GSD file. You find this file on the DVD
„iba Software & Manuals“ included in delivery in the directory
02_iba_Hardware\ibaBM-DP\02_GSD_Files\01_General\.
Import the GSD file in the “HW Config“ tool under Step 7. In the catalog of the available
modules, you now find the “ibaBM-DPM-S/DP-Monitor“ device under „PROFIBUS DP –
Additional Field Devices – General“.
