Profinet viewer
There is a tool for searching a network for Profinet devices. In the Proview environment the viewer
is started by issuing the command:
profinet_viewer [device]
Where 'device' is for example eth0. By default the profinet_viewer will connect to eth1.
The tool will start searching the network for available devices by issuing a broadcast message.
Active devices will respond. After a certain time (a few seconds) you will get a list of the found
devices. For each found device you will get information about:
DeviceName
Ip-address
MAC-address
Vendor Id
Device Id
Family
InfoText
For each of these devices it is possible to set the DeviceName and the IP Address. It is very
important that you do this for all of the devices you intend to control.
In the Functions-menu you can choose to 'Update' the list or to 'Set Device Properties' for the
marked device.
