8.3 Functions
8.3.1 Live Status function
The Live Status function very quickly gives you an overview of the bus status.
Even transient disturbances during the test are reliably detected. Once you
start the function, the tool determines and continuously updates the status for
the segment and for each bus station.
8.3.1.1
Bus status summary
Fig. 21: Live Status with bus status summary
Line 1 shows the overall bus status. It results from the substatus for bus
communication and the substatus for bus physics, which are displayed in lines
2 and 3.
Bus communication:
1. “Error”
•
Bus stations were dropped or added during the test
•
Configuration errors or parameter errors occurred
(the actual structure of modular slaves differs from the
configuration stored in the PLC, or an incorrect GSD file was
used)
2. „Warning“
•
Frame errors, retries or diagnostics occurred during the test
•
One or more bus stations have not been configured in the PLC
3. „OK“
•
No critical states or events
