5.2 Functional Overview
The PROFIBUS slave protocol driver may exist in a single port implementation.
The driver can be configured as a slave interface with other PROFIBUS devices.
The PROFIBUS slave port can be used to continuously interface with other
PROFIBUS devices over a PROFIBUS serial communication network.
5.2.1 About the PROFIBUS Protocol
PROFIBUS (Process Field Bus) is a widely-used, open-standards protocol
created by a consortium of European factory automation suppliers in 1989.
PROFIBUS is a master/slave protocol. The master establishes a connection to
the remote slave. When the connection is established, the master sends the
PROFIBUS commands to the slave. The MVI56-PDPS module works as a slave.
