Application Relation
Each PN controller can be connected to one or more slots, but each slot is as-
signed to only one PN controller. The „Application relation“ column shows the index
and the IP address of the connected PN controller for that slot.
If the PROFINET device is operated as S2 device, the index and IP addresses of
both PN controllers are displayed in the column.

State
The state is indicated by a description and a color:
