5.2.1.5 Generate livelist

Figure 11: Screen ‘Generate livelist’

In the menu Generate livelist, NetTEST II scans all possible

bus addresses from 0....126 for PROFIBUS DP Slave

participants. For this, a FDL request is effected several times

on each address. If a device answers with OK, its bus address

appears on the display. The unit counter is incremented by one.

To ensure that also extremely slow units are recognized, the

test takes approx. 30 seconds. Should all connected units

already be recognized, the user can truncate the test with .

Should there be more units than depictable on one display

screen, the user can scroll through after the test with

keys.

To be able to execute further tests, Generate livelist must by all

means be terminated by . Only then the recognized units are

registered in the internal memory, so that for these in the

following test, a Slave_Diag_Req can be run. If the test is quit

by , no slave diagnosis can be executed afterwards!
