Appendix A. Troubleshooting

Appendix A.1. Connection Tips & Hints

Appendix A.1.1. Error Message Displays when Downloading the PROFIBUS Database

•
Ensure that the correct serial port has been selected in the configure path setting.
•
Ensure that the FS-B35 is powered up with a valid configuration file declaring all the Slaves with
which to communicate.
•
Confirm that the Run LED is flashing.
The following message on the error screen of the FS-GUI is shown when the FS-B35 detects a request

Restarting FieldServer in 10 seconds...

Appendix A.1.2. Configuration Error Reported

•
Ensure that the correct Map Descriptor function has been used. Refer to Sections
Section 4.7.
•
Ensure that the number of configured bytes on the card has not been exceeded. A maximum of
1536 bytes can be accessed.

Appendix A.1.3. Mismatched Slaves Error Reported

This error message is caused when the number of Slaves (represented by node entries) in the
configuration file does not match the number of Slaves configured and downloaded with the HMS
AnyBus NetTool for PROFIBUS.
Correct this error by removing unused slave devices from either the configuration file or the HMS
Network configuration and downloading again, or simply ensure that the number of Slaves match
between the 2 configurations.
