Figure 5.4 – PLX51-PBS Status monitoring - General 

 

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 

Mode  of  operation  of  the  module.  The  following  states  can  be 
returned: 

Quiet 

This mode allows you to connect the PLX51-PBS to an active bus and 
run  a  DP  packet  capture.  In  this  mode,  the  PLX51-PBS  will  not 
communicate on the DP Bus, but rather only listen. 

 

Standalone 

In  this  mode,  the  PLX51-PBS  is  the  DP  Master  on  the  PROFIBUS 
network. 

 

Slave 

In  this  mode,  the  PLX51-PBS  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
