FAQ

1. Q: Can MVI56-PDPS work as PROFIBUS DP master?
   A: It is DP slave module, cannot act as master; select MVI56-PDPMV1 for PROFIBUS master function.
2. Q: What are typical module failure symptoms?
   A: PROFIBUS bus offline, backplane communication interruption, data cannot be read/written, fault LED illuminated.
3. Q: How to complete commissioning and diagnosis?
   A: Insert into 1756 rack, connect PROFIBUS cable, configure data mapping, download settings and test bus communication.
