Parameter
Description
Config Valid
Indicates if the downloaded configuration is valid and executing.
Owned
Indicates whether or not the module is currently owned (Class 1) by a Logix
Controller.
Mode
This is the mode of operation of the module. The following states can be
returned:
Quiet:
This mode allows the user to connect the PLX51-PBM to an active bus
and run a DP packet capture. In this mode the PLX51-PBM will not
communicate on the DP Bus but rather only listen.
Standalone:
In this mode the PLX51-PBM is the DP Master on the
PROFIBUS network.
Slave:
In this mode the PLX51-PBM will emulate multiple PROFIBUS Slave
devices.
PROFIBUS State
(Master mode only)
This is the operational state of the PROFIBUS network. The following states
can be returned:
OFFLINE:
The PROFIBUS network is offline and the PLX51-PBM will not
communicate on the network.
STOP:
The PROFIBUS network is running and the PLX51-PBM is
communicating on the network, but it will not exchange any process data with
any slave device.
OPERATE:
The PROFIBUS network is running and the PLX51-PBM is
communicating with all slave devices on the network, and if configured in the
PLX51-PBM, the module will configure and exchange process data with each
slave device.
CLEAR:
The PROFIBUS network is running and the PLX51-PBM is
communicating with all slave devices on the network, and if configured in the
PLX51-PBM, the module will configure and exchange process data with each
slave device.
