Note
There is a way to realize corresponding indications by using the data set. For example
a digital channel of this data set can serve as a "hot wire". The master should hold this
digital value always on TRUE (= 1) as long as the PROFIBUS works properly. In case
of a short DP failure the master will write zero to all outgoing data for a short time,
including the digital monitoring signal. When the receiving system reads a FALSE
(= 0) on the digital channel it is clear that all other values are not valid and therefore
should not be taken into account.
Other methods may be engineered as well by means of the data set. Particularly a dy-
namic life sign, i. e. a toggling digital signal, from the master is recommended.
13.5 Configuration with ibaPDA
The following description refers to ibaPDA version 6.32.0 or higher. If older ibaPDA ver-
sions are use, please see chapter 13.5.1.
1.
On the left-hand side in the I/O Manager, choose the desired ibaFOB-D card and
mark the link, ibaBM-DP is connected to.
2.
Click with the right mouse button on the link and select "Autodetect". The device set
to compatibility mode 3Mbit (rotary switch S1 = 0 and S2 = 0) is identified automati-
cally and shown as ibaBM-DP-64 in the signal tree.
