Remark 1: Tab CM579-PNIO-Master Configuration
The tab-sheet CM579-PNIO-Master Configuration is a generic view of all PROFINET® IO Controller parameters. It is normally hidden and is normally not needed for configuration.
Use this dialog only, if you need to change a parameter, which is not visible in all the other dialogs.
This dialog could be activated with the parameter Show generic device configuration views in the Automation Builder options (Open the Options dialog window with menu item Tools -> Options… the parameter is located under section Device editor).
