• Click the plus sign [3] in front of the respective device in the right part of the win-
dow (online topology) [3] to have the partner ports displayed.
• Change the connection of the partner ports if required. Mark the respective port

Detecting faulty
connections
Faulty connections can be detected in the graphic view of the topology editor.
Proceed as follows to switch to the graphic view:
1. Start the topology editor according to section "Creating a PROFINET project and
starting the topology editor".
2. Select the "graphic view" tab.
The graphic view provides a clear display of your PROFINET network (offline or on-
line) with all devices and connected ports.
Faulty connections between ports are indicated by red lines.
3. Move the curser over the port with the faulty connection [1] to display a status mes-
sage for the error.
The present example illustrates a faulty connection between the controller and "port
1" of the first device.
