3-4 Operating the Network
After network commissioning has been finished and there is communication
between the PROFIBUS Master Unit and the GRT1-PRT, the GRT1-PRT
DTM’s additional features to monitor status can be used.
Switching the DTM to On-
Line To use these features, the GRT1-PRT must be on-line, i.e. the DTM must
establish communication with the physical device (via the PROFIBUS Master
Unit). Switching to on-line must be done via the FDT Container. To switch to
on-line, perform the following steps in Cx-Profibus.
1,2,3... 1. In the Network view, select the GRT1-PRT and right-click the mouse.
2. From the context menu, which pops up, select the option Go Online .
Monitoring Features There are two types of Monitoring information
• PROFIBUS and SmartSlice I/O communication status
• SmartSlice I/O Unit status
3-4-1 Monitoring the GRT1-PRT
To access status information on the PROFIBUS and SmartSlice I/O communi-
cation, perform the following steps.
1,2,3... 1. Select the GRT1-PRT in the Network View and right click the mouse.
2. From the context menu, which pops up, select the Diagnosis option.
Note Only one GRT1-PRT can be monitored at a time. Opening two or more DTMs
in monitoring mode may not function properly.
Example A window will pop up showing PROFIBUS diagnostics information in the
upper half of the window and SmartSlice I/O Communication in the lower half
of the window. An example is shown below.
