Hello ,

I am Facing issue of Profibus communiation error , I have IM Connected with Profibus from which 2 IM's are suddenaly started showing Bus Fault error  spontaneouly. Sometimes it remains for a while but most of the time it Blinks like an indicator of a car. Thus making Plant machines to Trip and causing prodution loss.

I have tried Replacning IM's , Profibus connectors , power modules , AI AO DI DO , cheked earthing and 24V DC as well.

WHen I switch OFF the IM where the profibus is getting Terminate, These IM's do not show any error, but when I switch ON that IM power supply, IM 31 & 41 starts such acitivity.

NOTE: I have changed the address of IM-31 to IM -32 , just to avoid address macthing issue.

Please give any suggestions of how to get this issue rectified as there is a production loss facing with time.

High Pressure is there due to production loss. Hw Config Screen shot is attached with this for Reference.

Waiting for your Reply.

Please you forgot to attach the screen shots.

Hi,

did you check the diagnostic buffer of PLC - you can also post it here!

Yes I checked under Diagnostic Buffer of PLC it  shows nothing just an I/O access read /write error. 

Today I checked 24 V DC again on all these Three IM Panels and found OK , Please enlighten me by your Guidance to get this issue resolved.

The BF led is ON only or there are also another leds in the same stations are ON? 

Make a drawing to see how the profibus network nodes are positioned?

hi Richie,

what does the HW-Config online show?

Maybe you can show us the topology of your PB-Net with a scetch
