Device flash test using the TIA Portal
Using the node flash test, you can identify the reader quickly and simply by having the LEDs
of the device flash. This function is especially helpful if multiple devices are connected to the
controller. In this case, compare the MAC address of the device with the MAC address
displayed and then select the desired device.
Proceed as follows to identify the relevant device using the flash test:
1.
In the project tree, select the menu command "Online access > Your online access > Update
accessible devices".
The available devices are displayed.
2.
Select the required reader and click the entry "Online & Diagnostics" in the folder of the
selected device.
3.
Select the option "Functions > Assign name".
4.
Click the "Flash LED" button.
Reaction: The LEDs on the selected reader flash.
5.
Click the "Flash LED" button again to stop the flashing.
