Device Detail View
The Device Detail view is opened by double-clicking a device in the Network view. The Device Detail view is designed for each specific product series. It adds modules to a head station (via Drag & Drop from the Product Catalog), for simple cable tests on digital input/output modules (lamp test by clicking LEDs), as well as an entry point for configuring displayed devices.
