10.4.4 Diagnostic modules
If you want to examine sporadic errors in the PROFIBUS system in detail, you can ac-
quire slave- and bus-specific diagnostic values as signals in ibaPDA using the diagnostic
modules “Slave diagnostics” and “Bus diagnostics”. The data are analyzed, just as for all
other acquired signals, online via PDA client or offline with the DAT file in ibaAnalyzer.
Both diagnostic modules and the values are described in the chapters 10.3.6 and 10.3.7.
Important note
You can use the “Slave diagnostics” and “Bus diagnostics” modules only in 32Mbit Flex
mode. In compatibility mode 32Mbit, the modules remain disabled in the I/O Manager.
10.4.5 PROFIBUS browser
The PROFIBUS browser supplies you with detailed information about the PROFIBUS
which is connected to ibaBM-DP. If you mark the main node in the tree structure of the
browser, you get information about the device, like hardware and firmware versions, de-
vice names, license options and the max. number of the possible and configured slaves
and signals.

Moreover, you can install new firmware, reset the device to factory settings or enter li-
cense codes for additional functions.
Important note
You can only install new firmware and reset the device to factory settings in 32Mbit Flex
mode.
In compatibility mode 32Mbit, please use the web interface for installing firmware updates.
In this case, the reset to factory settings can be done using the S10 pushbutton (see
chapter 7.3.3).
