I have uploaded plc program in to S7 software (i don't have original) i need to remove a redundant profibus node and switch the test mode off, online monitor shows four nodes ok and one has a red slash(the one which i wish to remove). they all show DP Norm but when i access them there is a load of question marks in fields except Family which shows General, I have a diagnostic address and the node showing it is on the DP master system, anyway the system works. If i remove the data transfer blocks for this node sfc14 and sfc15 from OB1 and then remove the node in hardware manager after it has compiled an downloaded i lose comms with all nodes and cannot restore communication, all addresses look the same as before. Prior to modification when show accessible nodes i have 2 on the mpi and 8 just below which i cannot access i have uploaded from mpi 2 We have a second mmc card with a backup on which we are now using.. Any ideas what to check for to get profibus back online ? Kevin Smith
