Select Scan from the Network menu or click the Scan
button on the toolbar.
The SIMATIC Automation Tool will fill a new device table or update an existing
table with information from accessible devices.
The initial scan shows devices that have a direct connection to the SIMATIC Automation
Tool and are shown at the top level (left-most) in the device hierarchy.
A directly connected device can use all MAC addressed operations (with IP address
unconfigured or configured) and all IP addressed operations (with IP address configured), if
the device firmware supports the operations.
PROFINET I/O devices can be listed twice in the device table. Once on the top level, where
a direct connection allows all SIMATIC Automation Tool operations, and a second entry at a
lower level behind a CPU (with IP address configured), where an indirect connection restricts
the operations to firmware update only.
