Protocol Specification
FINS messaging
Reading Slave station diagnostics The MEMORY AREA READ (0101) FINS command can be used to
obtain the last received Slave Diagnostics message.
Reading and controlling the error log The internal error log records the history of error events. The Unit
supports the following Error Log related FINS commands:
• ERROR LOG READ
• ERROR LOG CLEAR
Station state changes Allocated Slave stations can be disabled and enabled in order to
temporarily remove them from data exchange services. The internal
error log records the history of error events. The Unit supports the
following FINS commands to implement this:
•RUN
•STOP
Error log
Error history size and storage The PROFIBUS Master unit supports storage of up to 80 error
events, including time stamps in volatile memory.
16 error events can be logged in non-volatile memory
