Hi all,
Just getting started with PLCnext this week, and I’m trying to troubleshoot a connection to a Profinet device.
Specifically I just want to see INSIDE the octet string that is incoming to see if there are any values changing:
I was able to create a variable, device_input, in my main IEC data table, and assign the input from the device to it.

What I’m trying to do now is actually look at what all the specific bits within the „device_input“ array are. I’m able to add the device_input, and even specific elements like device_input[1] to the watch list, but I can’t drill down to the specific bytes.
I feel like I’m missing something, because it seems crazy to me that I can’t just expand the device_input array when I’m online to see all the values inside it:

Even better would be a way to directly look at the values of the inputs from the device: IE, see inside these grey boxes:

Or is this just telling me that there’s actually nothing being sent from the device?
Are there better ways to see these internal values without having to create a variable for each one?
Thanks!
