NOTICE
Communication faults with PROFINET IO
If you enable PROFINET services in the Control Panel of the HMI device, communication
problems can occur if you use PLCs from other manufacturers.
PLCs that are not compatible with PROFINET services are noted in the following table in
the footnote. Do not enable PROFINET services for these PLCs.
