Portal Profinet IO cannot be edited

DamianInRochester · Jan 13, 2019

Portal Version 15.1
I have an established device in the Profinet tree.
Device is currently operational.

I need to modify the I and Q addresses on the device, but for some reason it is all greyed out and
Change Device and Start Device Tool are greyed out as well.
Delete is greyed out.

PLC is offline.
I cannot edit any local or distributed IO.

Not sure what I am doing wrong. Any hints?

Have you opened the project as a reference project?

Double check that it is really offline. Select the project and then hit offline, just to be sure. Sometimes it looks like you're offline, but in the background Portal thinks there's a connection somewhere. And if there is more than one device in the project, make sure you're offline with EVERYTHING.

Not saying its definitely this, but that happens to me multiple times a week.

Not open as a reference project.
Absolutely nothing online.

I ended up having to close and re-open. Must have been some glitch.

Weird, glad it's sorted!

So what you are saying is that you fixed it by 'Switching it off and back on again'
