Tiles
The Network view’s workspace is divided into tiles. Tiles are placeholders for devices that are added from the Product Catalog. The device's status is indicated by its frame:
Frame Color | Description |
|---|---|
Gray | Standard frame of an included device |
Light Blue | Device has been selected/highlighted. |
Green | The device is connected online. |
Purple | The device has a limited connection (controller application is different to the project application in e!COCKPIT). |
Orange | Manual override mode (“I/O-CHECK” tab) is active. |
Blue | Simulation mode is active (“PROGRAM”/“DEBUG” tab). |
The device name and item number are displayed at the top of the tile.
The device’s status — with regard to the connection, PLC, internal bus and fieldbus — is indicated by a four-section status display in the top right corner of the tile. The individual symbols are explained under General Status Display for Connections.
The IP address of the device is shown in the lower area of the tile. The fieldbus interface is displayed for devices which do not have an ETHERNET interface. Three points behind the address indicate that the device has several addresses.
Right-clicking the tile displays the context menu’s different buttons (see explanation under Context menus).
