Generic Slave Device DTM
Section 2-5
Auto-Clear Processing
The Auto-Clear processing box defines whether or not the PROFIBUS Master
Unit should ignore a failure of this particular slave, when Auto-CLEAR has
been enabled in the Master Unit (See
Auto-CLEAR Box
on page 32 in section
2-3-1 Configuration User Interface
). When Ignore Auto-CLEAR has been
selected, a failure of this particular slave device (i.e. the slave device requests
new parameters, or fails to respond) will not activate the Auto-CLEAR mode.
The Master Unit will however, service the slave device.
This feature can be used with slaves which can fail during operation, but for
which failure it is not necessary to switch the entire network to Auto-CLEAR
mode.
Configuration Data
Convention
The Configuration Data Convention setting defines how the slave device will
handle the special identifier format data parts of the Check I/O configuration
message. The slave can perform the check either according to the original
PROFIBUS DP standard, or according to the PROFIBUS DP-V1 standard.
This allows PROFIBUS DP slaves to use either standard PROFIBUS DP data
types or extended PROFIBUS DP-V1 data types.
Control
Description
Process Auto-CLEAR
When Auto-CLEAR has been enabled in the PROFIBUS
Master Unit, a failure of this particular slave will cause an
Auto-CLEAR event.
Ignore Auto-CLEAR
When Auto-CLEAR has been enabled in the PROFIBUS
Master Unit, a failure of this particular slave will not cause
an Auto-CLEAR event. The Master will however service
the slave device (e.g. send new parameters).
