7.10.3 'PROFINET Controller Status' Dialog
This dialog displays the current status of the PROFINET controller and provides means to start/stop
the data exchange in the PROFINET network. It retrieves the multi-CPU settings including the buffer
device addresses online from the CPUs independently of the current GX Configurator-PN configurati-
on. Only the IP address of the PN controller and the transfer setup for the QnU-CPU are taken from
the current project.

To obtain the currently active device addresses the dialog first reads the start I/O number of the con-
trolling QnU-CPU from the PN controller. It then reads the multi-CPU settings including buffer devi-
ces from that QnU-CPU, independent of the settings in the current GX Configurator-PN project. The-
se active device addresses are displayed in the status dialog.
