6.2.6 PROFIBUS-DP
(1) Communication overview of the PROFIBUS-DP
In redundant system, when the PROFIBUS-DP master module detects a fault or
communication failure with DP-Slaves, the standby system master module is switched
to new control system master module and inherits the PROFIBUS communications.
(2) Operation at system switching
The PROFIBUS-DP master modules switch each system on the following cases.
• When the PROFIBUS-DP master module detects a fault
• When a communication failure with DP-Slaves is detected
