I want to get the information of IO device, for example, wheather new IO device is inserted, wheather IO device is pulled out. But I find the node “Root/Objects/DeviceSet/X20BC008T/X2X IF1/Status” is empty. How can I obtain the information I need in address space?
Hi,
I’ve no practical experience with the device. Therefore I’m not sure about the “Status” node, as I haven’t found any specific information about it; maybe it’s (by now?) just a “default node” in the information model that’s not (yet?) in use.
As far as I understood the data sheet content, to get information about the (changed) X2X network stations you have to call the method “ScanForNewStations” under …/X2X IF1/Configuration/Control" to get an updated X2X modules image, which is accessible then under “…/X2X IF1/SubDevices”.

Link to online help (should contain the same information than the data sheet):
Best regards!
