On Off Off Off On Non-redundant operation: All
slaves are engaged in data
exchange. At least one slave
has reported an error.
Or
Invalid PROFIBUS address
Evaluate the diagnosis of the
IM 157 and check the re-
ported slaves.
DP/PA link only: Check the
status bytes in the slave user
data. Read the slave device
mode with a configuration tool
(e. g. SIMATIC PDM).
Or
Set a valid PROFIBUS ad-
dress for the IM 157.
Redundant operation:
The IM 157 is passive and
can be switched over. There
is an error on the active
IM 157.
Evaluate the LED on the ac-
tive IM 157.
On Off Off On On Redundant operation only:
The IM 157 is active. All
slaves are engaged in data
exchange. At least one slave
has reported an error.
Evaluate the diagnosis of the
IM 157 and check the re-
ported slaves.
Evaluate the diagnosis of the
underlying slaves in the on-
line view of the HW Config.
DP/PA link only: Check the
status bytes in the slave user
data. Read the slave device
mode with a configuration tool
(e. g. SIMATIC PDM).

* On The configured structure of
the link does not correspond
to the actual structure.
Or
The IM 157 has no cyclical
data exchange to at least
configured one slave.
Check the configuration and
structure of the links.
Or
Evaluate the diagnosis of the
IM 157 and check the re-
ported slaves (connection,
address, parameter assign-
ment, configuration).

** The ”SF” LED continues flashing for another 20 seconds after the system has switched into redundancy
mode.
