Comparison of the Organization Blocks of PROFINET IO and PROFIBUS DP 
Here, there are changes in OB 83 and OB 86, as shown in the following table. 
Table 3-8  OBs in PROFINET IO and PROFIBUS DP 
Blocks  PROFINET IO  PROFIBUS DP 
OB 83 (removing and inserting 
modules during operation)  
Also possible with an S7-300, 
new error information 
With an S7-300 not possible 
Removing and inserting 
modules during operation is 
reported by slaves added using 
a GSD file by means of a 
diagnostic interrupt; in other 
words OB 82. 
In the case of S7 slaves, a 
swapping interrupt causes a 
station failure to be reported and 
OB 86 to be called. 
OB 86 (rack failure)   New error information  Unchanged

3.2.10.3  System status lists (SSLs) in PROFINET IO 
Content of this Section 
This section explains the following: 
•  Which system status lists are intended for PROFINET IO 
•  Which system status lists are intended for PROFIBUS DP 
•  Which system status lists are intended for both PROFINET IO and PROFIBUS DP 
Introduction 
The CPU of the SIMATIC modules can provide you with certain information. The CPU stores 
this information in the "system status list". 
The system status list describes the current status of the automation system. It provides an 
overview of the configuration, the current parameter assignment, the current statuses and 
sequences in the CPU, and the assigned modules.  
The system status list data are read-only; they cannot be changed. The system status list is 
a virtual list that is compiled only on request.  
With the help of a system status list you receive the following information via the PROFINET 
IO system: 
•  System data 
•  Module status information in the CPU 
•  Diagnostic data on module 
•  Diagnostic buffer
