function to scan devices Twincat 3

Hello everyone,

In my PLC program I want to know if there is a new device is plugged in.
Normally you use Twincat to scan new devices.
Now I was wondering of Twincat has a function to do did automatically, maybe someone has this done before.

Regards Kevin

it is possible to see what devices are present, and /or new devices.
but they have to be in the devicelist to do something with itt, as the PLC can not change its own program.

yes I can see which devices are present and which new devices should be configured.

I add a xml file for the new instruments, so the new instrument should be in the devicelist?

btw I have an Ethercat instrument who's connected with a ek1100

yep must be in devicelist, PLC can not find new devices, only the ones that are in the list.
