Configures a Profinet device.

Baseobject for a profinet device. Reside below a profinet agent object.
In the attribute GSDMfile the gsdmlfile for the current device is stated.
When the gsdml�file is supplied the device can be configured by the Profinet
configurator. See ProviewR documentation 'Guide to I/O System' for more
information. See also a Case Study class ABB_ACS880_PnDevice.

Note 'DeviceName' is the most important setting and defines the device on
the network. When IO communication starts the Profinet stack will first
look up all the devices on the network by the name.

There is a viewer tool for searching a network for Profinet devices and to set the
'DeviceName'. The viewer is started from a terminal window with the shell command:

> profinet_viewer [device]

Where 'device' is the network device, eg eth0. By default the profinet_viewer will
connect to eth1.

The ProviewR runtime environment should be stopped on the current node before the
the viewer is started.

Description.

Specification of device.

Link to datasheet for device.

Location of GSDML-file defining this device.

Status of device.

Process that handles the device.

1: The device is read by the plc process, and is handled by a specific
   thread in the plc, which is specified in the ThreadObject attribute.
2: The device is read by the rt_io_comm process.
4: The device is handled by an application program.

Plc-thread that will run the Profinet I/O.

ErrorCount will increase every cycle if status is not PN__NORMAL.

If stall action is reset inputs, all inputs will be set to zero when this limit is reached.

If stall action is emergency break, this action will be invoked when limit is reached.
