Reconfigure

The "Reconfigure" function allows for the dynamic adaptation of a PROFINET configuration, which was initially downloaded to the controller, to the application at runtime.

The DED.Reconfigure function block can be used to enable or disable any device configurations in the device tree. For this to work, the Enable diagnosis for devices option needs to be set in the PLC settings.

In the case of PROFINET, this function block can be executed on the following devices:

  • PROFINET Controller

  • Individual slave nodes of a controller configuration (not CIFX)

  • PROFINET Device

When disabled, different configuration parameters of the devices can be changed:

  • Station name

  • IP addresses

  • Slot and subslot numbers of the modules or submodules

  • Device settings (manufacturer-specific data records)

    Then these settings are used when the device is enabled again or for the reestablished connection.
