Good morning! Looking to access information in a Quint 4 UPS via Profinet. The information does not appear to be available via the GSDML file (specifically Register 0x3000 - actual alarm codes). It appears that for PC Worx there is a library of instructions that can be used to access any UPS parameter - PS_DcUpsPN_3. A…
