Start/Stop PROFINET

The data exchange on the PN controller can only be started, if the controller is configured and not al-

ready running (controller status ‘PROFINET stopped’). The start flag is set, after the user has con-

firmed the request.

In case the PN controlling CPU is not in RUN mode, the user is asked, whether the CPU should be

started as well.

If the data exchange has been started (controller status ‘PROFINET started’), pressing the button

will stop it, after the user has confirmed the request.

In case the PN controlling CPU is not in STOP mode, the user is asked, whether the CPU should be

stopped as well.

After the start or stop request the user can check the ‘PROFINET Controller Status’ field to see,

whether the request has been successful. The field is automatically updated.
