PROFIBUS−DP multi−master system
0
Subsystem consisting of master 1 and slaves 1 ... 3 with cyclic data transfer.
1
Subsystem consisting of master 3 and slaves 4 ... 6 with cyclic data transfer.
2
For configuration and diagnostics, master 2 can communicate with slave 1 ... 6. The data
transfer is acyclic.
In multi−master operation, several masters are connected to one bus. They either form
independent subsystems consisting of one class 1 master (DPM 1) each and the
corresponding slaves, or additional class 2 masters (DPM 2) for configuration and
diagnostics. The input and output images of the slaves can be read by all masters. Only the
respective class 1 master (DPM 1) can write the outputs.
