Diagnostics of the CPU 41x as DP slave
Diagnostics Using LEDs – CPU 41x
The following table explains the meaning of the BUSF LEDs. The BUSF LED assigned to the
interface configured as the PROFIBUS DP interface is always lit or flashing.

Detection of the Bus Topology in a DP Master System With the SFC103 "DP_TOPOL"
The diagnostic repeater is available to improve the ability to locate faulty modules or an
interruption on the DP cable when failures occur in ongoing operation. This module operates
as a slave and can identify the topology of a DP chain and record any faults originating from
it.
You can use SFC103 "DP_TOPOL" to trigger the identification of the bus topology of a DP
master system by the diagnostic repeater. For information on SFC103, refer to the
corresponding online help and to the
diagnostic repeater is described in the manual
Order Number 6ES7972-0AB00-8BA0.
STEP 5
Diagnostics with
The slave diagnostics complies with the EN 50170, Volume 2, PROFIBUS standard.
Depending on the DP master, diagnostic information can be read out with
for all DP slaves that comply with the standard.
The display and structure of the slave diagnostics is described in the following sections.
