On the Diagnostics tab of ibaBM-DP in the ibaPDA I/O Manager, the operating state for bus 0/1 and all available participants are displayed.

The different statuses of the slaves are shown in different colors:

Color		State	Remark
Green		OK	The slave is available on the bus and is addressed by a master.
Red		Missing	The slave is configured for a master but is not present on the bus. This status leads to a bus error in the associated master.
Orange		Phantom	The slave is available on the bus, but not configured on a master.
Gray		Not active
Magenta		Master	This is a master
Bold margin			Active slave on an ibaBM-DP device

The device also supports a collision detection. Before ibaBM-DP activates its own active slaves, the device first checks whether there are already slaves with the same number on the bus. If a slave with the same number already exists, your own slave is not activated.

Note
	A slave with the risk of colliding is flashing in the bus overview. When validating the I/O configuration after having clicked on <OK> or <Apply>, an error message is shown for the identified collision.

The status of a slave is shown in the tooltip text when you position the cursor on a slave symbol. By clicking on the slave symbol, you get directly to the detailed view of the slave in the PROFIBUS browser, see chapter PROFIBUS browser.

You will see a detailed diagnostics view of a bus line, when marking the bus connection "X40: Bus0" or "X41: Bus 1". Here, additionally the detected transfer rate, cycle time and the number of masters and the different slave types are displayed.
