Note
A slave with the risk of colliding is blinking in the bus overview. When validating the I/O
configuration after having clicked on <OK> or <Apply>, an error message is shown for
the identified collision.
The status of a slave is shown in the tooltip text, when you position the cursor on a slave
symbol. By clicking on the slave symbol, you get directly to the detailed view of the slave
in the PROFIBUS browser (see chapter 10.4.5).
When marking the bus connection "X40: Bus0" or "X41: Bus1", you will see a detailed
diagnostics view of a bus line. Here, additionally the detected transfer rate, cycle time
and the number of masters and the different slave types are displayed.

10.4.2 Event log in the I/O-Manager
You can use the event log in 32Mbit Flex mode as well as in compatibility mode 32Mbit.
In 32Mbit Flex mode, the events are transmitted via the Ethernet communication which
is running via the FO connection simultaneously to the measurement data acquisition. In
compatibility mode 32Mbit, the Ethernet interface is used.
In the event log, the status changes on the PROFIBUS detected by ibaBM-DP are doc-
umented in a list. You find the event log in the I/O Manager: Mark the ibaBM-DP device
in the interface tree. Now, you can see the “Event log” tab on the right.
