Diagnosis

The current PROFINET station name is displayed on the Diagnosis tab.

Station name

A controller can assign a device name to the device ("baptize") and thus change the name. An empty string is also allowed here and also the default. However, such a setting is not allowed as a box name. In addition, there are TwinCAT functions that iterate via the tree based on the node names used. This is another reason why the box name is not changed automatically and does not correspond to the PROFINET station name.

IP configuration

The IP settings are also specified by the controller. If the device is not in data exchange (= no existing AR), then the IP address can be set here and is then stored fail-safe. However, during a PROFINET startup, the controller checks the IP settings. If these are different than expected by the controller, they will be overwritten again. Normally, the controller does not make the IP settings remanently; the previously saved IP settings are thus deleted.

When using TF627x, make sure that the IP addresses of the operating system and PROFINET are different.

Module Difference

This list shows the module and sub module differences detected by the device. The comparison is made here between the projected modules on the controller side (= Expected) and the actual plugged-in modules on the device side (= Real). Detected differences are transmitted to the controller and shown here.
