Hello sir

we know there are the topological function of PLCnexr 2020.0 is available, why we couldn't find it in 2020.3and 2020.6.
and do you update the function of it ?
And we are concern about it ,we want to configure the PN network in advance ,and when we add the the actual device into the PLCnext network , these PN devices(blank IP and PN deviece name) will be recognize automatically. we need this fuction to  adapt the flexible manufacturing line.
 
and we need it likes the siemens topological windows  as attachment.

Hello,

The "Topology Planner" feature last appeared in PLCnext Engineer version 2020.0. There are no plans to make it available in later versions.
In the future PLCnext Engineer will include an Ethernet topology viewer, similar to the one already available in FL Network Manager.
In your case, neighbourhood detection via LLDP works without a planned topology, as does automatic Profinet device replacement. So the use-case you describe is possible to achieve without the Topology Planner.
I hope this answers your question. Please let us know if you need any further information.
