value for MVI56PDPMV1.Status.Fieldbus.FB_Slave_xfer should match the
corresponding value in MVI56PDPMV1.Status.Fieldbus.FB_Slave_Cfg_List,
indicating that the slave is configured and communicating.
Tip: You can add ladder logic to perform an action based on the values of these tags, for example
to determine if a slave is misconfigured.
If the values of these tags show that the slave is configured, but is not

documentation provided with your PROFIBUS Slave for troubleshooting
procedures.
