I am looking for additional information regarding the SMIOPS byte and additional information about the ~PN_DEVICE_STATE Byte. SMIOPS: I did a Google search and found a definition for IOPS: “IO Provider Status - The provider (sender) of a cyclic I/O data element uses this to signal the status (good/bad with error location).” Without a bit map of the SMIOPS variable, it is not useful for diagnostics. Could you please provide one in either the Knowledge Base or the Help Menu? Considering this variable is generated when adding a Profinet device, zero documentation is not acceptable. ~PN_DEVICE_STATE: I searched through the documentation and was unable to find a complete bit map of the ~PN_DEVICE_STATE Byte. After expanding the Data list, I noticed the offset column. With this and the manual for the ILC 370. I was able to put the information below together. Please add this and similar information to the Knowledge base and or Help menus. The ILC 370 manual states that not all bits are used. If they are utilized in PLC Next, please define them or indicate that they are not used. Bit 0 - PN_IS_PRIMARY - This process data item is reserved for future redundancy functions. Bit 1 - Unknown Bit 2 - PN_AR_VALID - The Profinet Application Relation is Valid. Bit 3 - Unknown Bit 4 - PN_APPL_RUN - This bit indicates that the application is running on the PROFINET IO device. Bit 5 - PN_NO_DIAG - If this bit is set, there are no device diagnostics present. Bit 6 - Unknown Bit 7 - PN_IRT_FRAME_VALID - I did not find any additional information and am not currently using IRT. Thank you, Josh
