Introduction
ProfiNet
returns weight and status information from an indicator to a master
controller and provides limited control of indicator functions to the
programmer. Indicator configuration and calibration cannot be performed
through the
ProfiNet Interface
.
The master controller sends commands to the indicator through
ProfiNet
by
writing the commands in the output command format. The
ProfiNet Interface
returns the weight and status data in the input command format. These actions
are referred to as polled I/O. See Section 3.0 for descriptions of the polled I/O
commands.
