IModuleCollection class and module properties

The IModuleCollection class
The IProfinetDevice interface provides information about any modules (signal modules,
signal boards, CMs, CPs, etc) plugged on the station. The Modules property returns a
collection of these modules.
The following code shows accessing this information, given an IProfinetDevice (created in
our earlier example).
//--------------------------------------------------------
// To ensure the information is current and complete,
// first call RefreshStatus()
//--------------------------------------------------------
Result retVal = networkDevice.RefreshStatus(new EncryptedString(""));
if (retVal.Succeeded)
{
//--------------------------------------------------------
// The Modules property returns a collection of IModule
/--------------------------------------------------------
IModuleCollection modules = networkDevice.Modules;
foreach (IModule mod in modules)
{
//-------------------------------------------------------
// Get article number for every module on central station
//-------------------------------------------------------
string displayArticleNum = mod.ArticleNumber;
}
}
