This method can upload the service data from a defective CPU.
The following example searches the
IProfinetDeviceCollection for a CPU at a specific IP
address. It then checks the current
OperatingState of the CPU. If the CPU is defective, then
the service data is uploaded.
uint targetIPAddress = 0xC0A80001; // 192.168.0.1
string strDiagFolder = @"c:\Diagnostics";
IProfinetDeviceCollection devices = new IProfinetDeviceCollection();
Result retVal = myNetwork.ScanNetworkDevices(out devices);
if (retVal.Succeeded)
{
IProfinetDevice dev = devices.FindDeviceByIP(targetIPAddress);
if (dev != null)
{
ICPU devAsCpu = dev as ICPU;
if (devAsCpu != null)
{
devAsCpu.RefreshStatus(new EncryptedString(""));
if (devAsCpu.GetOperatingState() == OperatingState.Defective)
{
retVal = devAsCpu.UploadServiceData(new EncryptedString(""),
strDiagFolder);
}
}
}
}
