As ibaBM-DPM-S „decides“ in redundancy mode which PROFIBUS system data are sent
over, the setting in the „bus“ column is not relevant. Hence, this column is blocked in re-
dundancy mode.

12.1.2 Notes on the “Active slave“ module
In redundancy mode, you only find one „Redundant PROFIBUS“ group on the „General“
tab. Here, you can define the slave number. You can not choose a bus number, as the ac-
tive slave in redundancy mode is always generated on both buses at the same time.
Each of both S7-400H CPUs sends data to the slave on an own PROFIBUS system. This
is the reason why an active slave always needs to be found on both PROFIBUS systems.

12.1.3 Notes on diagnosis
Diagnosis shows that ibaBM-DPM-S runs on redundancy mode. The current operating
status is shown in the upper „Status“ line on the „Diagnosis“ tab. In redundancy mode, the
following message appears:
In the figure above in chapter 12.1.1 “Notes on the „Sniffer“ module“ and 12.1.2 “Notes on
the “Active slave“ modul
e“, slaves with the addresses 22 and 100 are generated by the
“Active slave“ and “Sniffer“ modules.
