Monitoring the status of the DP slaves and IO devices in the engineering system

You can also monitor the status of the DP slaves and IO devices in the engineering system
(e.g. SIMOTION SCOUT), when this is connected online with the target system.
Proceed as follows:
1. Select the SIMOTION device in the project navigator.
2. Select the Target Device > Device Diagnostics menu.
3. Select the Slaves tab.
All DP slaves and IO devices connected to the SIMOTION device's subnets and their states
are displayed.
Note
Up to version V3.0 of the SIMOTION kernel, only the statuses of those DP slaves that are
drives are displayed.
5.1.3 Converting a PROFIBUS address or device number for PROFINET IO into the
logical diagnostics address and vice versa
The PROFIBUS address and device number for PROFINET IO are unique in the related
PROFIBUS subnet or PROFINET IO segment, but not across the project. Only the logical
diagnostics addresses are unique across the project.
Using the _getLogDiagnosticAddressFromDpStationAddress function you can convert the
PROFIBUS address for a bus node (or device number for PROFINET IO) into the associated
logical diagnostics address in the user program by specifying the related local interface.
Using the _getDpStationAddressFromLogDiagnosticAddress function you can convert the
logical diagnostics address into the PROFIBUS address for a bus node (or device number for
PROFINET IO), as well as the related local interface, in the user program.
By executing the _getGeoAddressFromLogAddress function you will obtain, in the user
program, the geographical address for a logical diagnostics address across the project
(e.g. bus system, slot number).
The syntax of these system functions is described in detail in the "System Functions/Variables
Devices" List Manual (reference list) and in the online help (see index).
5.2 Option handling for ET 200S with reserve modules
With SIMOTION SCOUT version V4.1 and higher, options can be handled even without
reserve modules if an ET 200S is being used.
The following sections are excerpts from the SIMATIC documentation concerned, with
corresponding notes especially for use with SIMOTION.
