The I/O Test task serves to check the wiring of a distributed I/O device even before installing a CPU, and to protocol the test results in a quick, error-free and simple manner.
In Device Selection mode, PRONETA shows a symbolic display of all SIMATIC ET 200 devices, SIRIUS Motor Starters and SIPLUS Heating Control Systems which were found during the current network scan.
A green checkmark indicates that this device is available for I/O Test (i.e. it has a valid IP address and device name). Select the device you want to test by clicking on it. In the right window section, a table with device details (type, network configuration, port and module configuration data, …) is displayed upon selection, and the selected device is displayed with a blue background.
To proceed to the I/O Test after selecting a device as test candidate, double-click on the device, or select the “I/O Test” tab in the mode bar.
