The configuration tree indented below the respective device entry, that is submodules
etc. will be maintained. The device configuration settings will be kept, if the device
type has not been changed. Any mismatches in the existing configuration, caused by
the device update, will be detected at the next build run of the application and
appropriate error messages will be generated. This might also concern implicitly added
libraries which will not be removed automatically and appropriately at a device
update.
Disable Device
This command (category Devices) is used to activate resp. deactivate (toggle
command) a device in the current PLC configuration on the bus system. A disabled,
passive device will not be noticed and evaluated. Notice however, that the bus driver
must support this function. Notice also that - depending on the bus system - disabling
one of the slave devices might prevent the master device at all from working.
The command is only available in offline mode, by default in the context menu.
A disabled device entry is displayed in light-grey letters. When going online, the non-
active devices additionally will be marked by red triangle symbols.
To re-enable a device, select the entry in offline mode and use the command once
more.
