4.4.10  DP slave failure 
DP slave failure 
DP slave failure means data exchange will stop and user data (inputs and outputs) will no 
longer be exchanged between DP master and DP slave. 
Events 
A DP slave failure can be triggered by the following events: 
●  Events from the DP master: e.g. when loading a new configuration, in case of a 
connection interruption or if the device is switched off 
●  Events from the DP slave ("DP slave failure"): e.g. wrong disassemble conditions 
(Page 55) 
The DP sl
ave still works and comm
unicates, which means it delivers diagnostics, reacts to 
events of the I/O modules and can process data records. The cause for the DP slave failure 
can be determined based on the diagnostics. 
4.5  Evaluating the interrupts of the ET 200S 
Introduction 
In the case of certain process states/errors, the DP slave saves one interrupt block for each 
process state or error, containing the relevant information, in the diagnostic frame (DPV1 
interrupt mechanism). Regardless of this, the diagnostic status of the DP slave is tracked in 
the identifier-related diagnostics, the module status, and the channel-specific diagnostics.  
Interrupts in DPV0 mode 
For DPV0 mode, no interrupts are defined in accordance with the PROFIBUS standard. This 
means that interface modules do not trigger an interrupt in DPV0 mode.  
Interrupts in DPV1 mode 
The ET 200S supports the following interrupts: 
●  Diagnostic interrupts 
●  Process interrupts 
●  Remove/insert module interrupts 
Requirements: Interrupts are only supported when you run the ET 200S with IM151-1 FO 
STANDARD interface modules (6ES7151-1AB05-0AB0 or higher) in DPV1 mode. 
In the event of an interrupt, interrupt OBs are automatically executed in the CPU of the  
DP master (see information on Program design in the System Software for S7-300/S7-400 
Programming Manual (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/
