Please decide, if you want ibaBM-DP to work with active slaves and/or only as
sniffer. If the device is to be connected with one or more active slaves to the PRO-
FIBUS, you first have to configure the PROFIBUS on the PLC side for defining the
slave numbers of the active slaves of the device (see chapter 11.2). Moreover, the
PROFIBUS parameters of all participants are needed, you want to measure data
from (slave no., length of inputs and outputs and data types). These are also
needed for the pure sniffer operation.
