5. Topology detection
The PROFINET switch supports the mechanisms for neighborhood detection (LLDP).
With this function it is possible to detect the topology of a PROFINET network, or to

If the topology was prescribed in the configuration, neighboring devices can also be
assigned the PROFINET name in the event of the replacement of a device.
The exchange of a device in operation is thus possible without the use of commis
