Programmatic Configuration

Alternatively to the usual configuration with a declaration via the device tree, the PROFINET Device can also be configured purely programmatically. To do this, the library ProfinetDeviceConfig provides a programming interface which does not require instances of device objects.

On the one hand, this allows for a very flexible module structure which is adaptable at runtime, also in connection with an online change. On the other hand, creating the PROFINET Device application is more complicated and requires that the user has detailed knowledge of PROFINET technology.
