Hello everyone,
I have a number of slaves connected via PROFIBUS DP to my robot, which is the master (through EL6731 PROFIBUS master).
I don't want slave failures or slave disconnections to stop the robot, so i unchecked the "Always available" option in the EL6731 PROFIBUS master settings->Slave settings tab.
Now the robot won't show any errors and won't stop if i disconnect or turn off slaves.
Is there a way to know whether a slave is dead or alive, which does NOT involve watchdog counters?
