7. Working with the diagnostic slave
7.1. General information
The diagnostic slave is a powerful tool for monitoring the
transmission path. The diagnostic slave enables the user
to perform extensive diagnostics and to visualize long
term characteristics on the transmission path.
With its own DP slave address (see chapter 6.6.3.
“PROFIBUS settings”) an PLC can access and process
diagnostic data. The PLC can be the PROFIBUS master
or any other controller within the PROFIBUS network
The provided GSD file
“DE3002_D.GSD” can be used
to integrate the diagnostic slave into the PROFIBUS
network
The diagnostic data is separated into 8 blocks of data.
Each block has a size of 32 Byte.
The following diagnostic data is provided by the
radio:
