6.1. Troubleshooting
In case of problems with Profinet communication, the actuator controls provide
important information on trouble-shooting via the display (menu Diagnostic M0022).
The indication and diagnostic LEDs on the Profinet board can also be used as support.
Assumption: Port 1/channel 1 is used as uplink in direction of the I/O controller (no
ring topology)
