Diagnostics Device
342-0IA00
Order-No.: VIPA HB144E_I BS-DIAG
Reference: RE_342-0IA00
General Information
The diagnostics device VIPA 342-0IA00 serves for connection to an Interbus (IBS) m aster module from VIPA with MiniDIN diagnostics jack. By means of the diagnostics device operation and f ault conditions may be represented, recognized
and localized. For this the device has a multi-line LCD dis play for display and a key field for menu-assisted s ervice. The
hardware platform of the diagnostics device (USC/4-DIAG-L) comes from Phoenix Contact as like the IBS hardware
platform of the master (USC4-2). In the following the single components are described only briefly. In the "Diagnostics
guide" of Phoenix Contact a detailed description of the diagnostics possibilities may be found.
Connect the diagnostics device
The diagnostics device is directly supplied by the Mini-DIN jack of the IBS m aster and is ready fo
operation after connection. Please consider that the arrow on the plug shows to the right side
when the diagnostics device is connected to the Mini-DIN jack.
Attention!
Please consider the sufficient grounding when connecting the diagnostics device.
Hardware-caused there is the risk to com e in contact to a pin of the plug while th
diagnostics device is connected. T his could dam age the device by an electrostati
discharge.
LCD-Display
The diagnostics display consists of the following components:
• 3 main lines to display operating states, addresses and data.
• 16 status segments on the left side of the display for binary representation of input and output data.
• CPU STOP status indicator (Arrow is displayed).
• Red (error) or green (normal operation) background illumination, depending on the operating state of the bus.

[5] CPU-STOP status
If the superimposed CPU is in STOP state, an arrow appears in the bottom line of the
display pointing to the "STOP" label of the front panel.
[6] Status segments
The 16 status segments for the binary representation of in and output words, are
indicated, if an appropriate menu were opened.

Menu structure
To access the MODE and MONI menu items from the standard view, press .
MODE Here you may get information about the current bus configuration and status. Statistical data about the state of
the bus system can also be requested e.g., the error frequency of specific devices.
Further general information such as the firmware version or the serial number are centralized
MONI Via the MONI item the states of inputs and outputs may be displayed. This monitor function is adapted to the
addressing syntax of the CPU.
