This is a quick way to get a network up and running. However, one should be
aware that it is not guaranteed that any particular slave will enter data exchange
since the user parameter data might not match. This is especially obvious if no
associated GSD-file is found during the network scan, this means that no user
parameter data would be sent to the slave.
N ETWORK SCAN is selectable from the Online menu as well as from the drop-
down menu for the M ASTER icon.
The only prerequisite for scanning the network is that the project consists of a
Master with no slaves assigned to it. If a network scan is initiated and the project
already contains slaves, a message window similar to the one below will appear.
When the window is closed the network scan will be omitted.
When a network scan is initiated, the PROFIBUS Master Configuration window
will download the Master bus parameters (baudrate etc.).
