Additional functions for Profibus DP devices:
The Profibus scan shows a list of all available Profibus Slaves. To each slave
information about station address, ident number, status (comparison with slaves of
the device tree of the project) and the IO configuration defined by the slave will be
displayed. The mapping of the scanned slaves and the slaves of the project
configuration is based on the station address. If there is no slave in the device tree with
the same station address of a scanned slave the state is set to "New". If a slave with
the identical station address exists the scan also compares the module configuration.
Any difference in the modul configuration of the corresponding slaves will be shown
with the red error icon and an error message. If the modul configuration is identical
the state is set to "OK". With the button Copy to project the selected device will be
mapped directly to the device tree.
The information provided by the scanned slave (Id number, IO configuration of the
module) do not allow a unique assignment to specific devices of a supplier. Therefor,
when copying the devices to project, the "Add Device... “ dialog will open where the
scanned target devices can be assigned to the installed devices of the project
manually.
