Hello.

What type of PLC are you using? (I'm assuming 300 series). 

You need to make a call to a special SFC/ SFB to request that a profibus node be disconnected. SFC12 would probably be your best bet.

If the request is granted and return value = <>0 - then you can avoid invoking the fault OB's and the node can be disconnected, I would advise writing a test program to carry this out and you may need to make some small changes to your code to suppress any alarms that may be generated.

Let us know if you need any further information.

is there another way to solve a problem without editing in software program?

second question
what will be written in sfc 12

 

If you disconnect your profibus node- the operating system will call 1 or more fault OB's.

If they are in your PLCs memory- then the PLC will call the relevant OB's and the PLC will continue to run- otherwise the PLC will go to stop mode.

So in other words- yes it is possible but dependant on how the user program responds. You will have to check this for yourself.

Remember doing it this way will invoke BUS1/2F and SF LED and the user program may disable functionality of your machine.
