32-8 Industrial Communication Systems<br />

In multi-master operation, several masters are connected to one bus. They represent either independent<br />

sub<strong>systems</strong>, comprising one DPM1 and its assigned slaves, or additional configuration and diagnostic<br />

devices. The input and output images of the slaves can be read by all DP masters, while only one<br />

DP master (the DPM1 assigned during configuration) can write-access the outputs.<br />

32.4.2 DP-Master Class 2: Engineering Stations<br />

Devices of this type are engineering, configuration, or operating devices. They are implemented during<br />

commissioning and for maintenance and diagnostics in order to configure connected devices, evaluate<br />

measured values and parameters, and request the device status. A DPM2 does not have to be permanently<br />

connected to the bus system. The DPM2 also has active bus access.<br />

32.4.3 DP-Slaves: Field-Devices<br />

A slave is a peripheral (I/O devices, drives, HMIs, valves, transducers, analysis devices), which reads in<br />

process information and/or uses output information to intervene in the process. There are also devices<br />

that solely process input information or output information. As far as <strong>communication</strong> is concerned,<br />

slaves are passive devices, they only respond to direct queries. This behavior is simple and cost-effective<br />

to implement (in the case of DP-V0 it is already completely included in the hardware).<br />

32.4.4 application Relations<br />

The different types of devices may enter different <strong>communication</strong> relations to each other (Figure 32.4):<br />

MM: Exchange of parameters, configuration data, and diagnostics between a DPM1 and a DPM2<br />

MS0: Cyclic data exchange of a DPM1 controller with a field-device (DP slave)<br />

MS1: Acyclic data exchange between a DPM1 controller and a field-device (DP slave)<br />

MS2: Acyclic data exchange between a DPM2 engineering station and a field-device (DP slave)<br />
