32-8 Industrial Communication Systems
In.multi-master.operation,.several.masters.are.connected.to.one.bus..ey.represent.either.indepen-
dent
.subsystems,.comprising.one.DPM1.and.its.assigned.slaves,.or.additional.conguration.and.diag-
nostic
.devices..e.input.and.output.images.of.the.slaves.can.be.read.by.all.DP.masters,.while.only.one.
DP.master.(the.DPM1.assigned.during.conguration).can.write-access.the.outputs.
32.4.2 DP-Master Class 2: Engineering Stations
Devices.of.this.type.are.engineering,.conguration,.or.operating.devices..ey.are.implemented.during.
commissioning.and.for.maintenance.and.diagnostics.in.order.to.congure.connected.devices,.evaluate.
measured.values.and.parameters,.and.request.the.device.status..A.DPM2.does.not.have.to.be.perma-
nently
.connected.to.the.bus.system..e.DPM2.also.has.active.bus.access.
32.4.3 DP-Slaves: Field-Devices
A.slave.is.a.peripheral.(I/O.devices,.drives,.HMIs,.valves,.transducers,.analysis.devices),.which.reads.in.
process.information.and/or.uses.output.information.to.intervene.in.the.process..ere.are.also.devices.
that.solely.process.input.information.or.output.information..As.far.as.communication.is.concerned,.
slaves.are.passive.devices,.they.only.respond.to.direct.queries..is.behavior.is.simple.and.cost-eective.
to.implement.(in.the.case.of.DP-V0.it.is.already.completely.included.in.the.hardware).
