The command opens the 'Scan devices' dialog:
Abb. 96 Dialog "Scan Devices", example
The Available devices field might be still empty or contain a list of all devices and
modules found during the last scan.
Which information is displayed for the particular devices and which options are
available in the dialog, depends on the current network type.
In each case the following functions are available:
• In field "Available devices" resp. "Devices" the Device name and Device type of the
found devices will be shown. Depending on the device type also the Station
Address, Ident Nr and State can be displayed.
• Via button Scan devices a new scan can be started. If option only show differences
to project is available and activated, only those devices will be listed, which are not
yet represented in the device tree..
• Via button Copy to project the devices currently selected in the 'Available devices'
field, resp. if nothing is selected, all listed devices will be mapped to the device tree
in the project. Depending on the device type first the standard dialog for adding a
device might be opened for selecting the device to be copied to the project (for
example for Profibus devices)
Additional functions for PROFINET IO devices:
• For each device in further columns of the 'Available devices' list also the Station
name, Station Address, MAC address, IP address and subnet mask are displayed.
Note: Each device must get a station name, because this is needed for certain
functions during network operation.
