Hello ninad; In most installations, Profibus slaves are connected to the PLC as Profibus master, and it is the CPU that recieves diagnostic and status information from the slaves it controls. Siemens provides a diagnostic package for both Profibus and Profinet that runs on the PLC, and links with WinCC (and WinCC Flexible)for visualization of the network daignostics. The tool is called FB 126 "PNIODiag", and can be freely downloaded from this link: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/26996747 Simply downlaod the application, and follow the installationguide to the letter; you should have a good display of the status your Profibus network. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
