5.4 Setting the Run Mode to Operate
After clicking the “Operate” button, ProfinetCommander functions as a PNIO controller and
establishes communication with the PNIO devices. The Alarms window logs each device as it
comes online. The I/O data and status is displayed in the Devices window. Note that the I/O
data for all the modules under the selected tree item is displayed. When in Operate or Clear
mode, the I/O data and status, and also the alarms, are updated every 500 ms.
5.5 Setting IO Device Outputs
As shown in the figure above, double-click a cell in the Output column of the Devices window to
change the output. The following dialog will appear. Enter a value in the edit window to send
constant output values to the IO device. Select “Increment” to make the output count up starting
from its current value each 500 ms display cycle. Note that there may be multiple output values
in the display separated by spaces. Each one can be edited for the Manual mode (leave the
spaces between entries). If “Increment” is selected, all of the listed outputs will be incremented.
