Issue In EcoStruxure Automation Expert HMI, It is possible to create a faceplate with a fixed title. However, by default, it is not possible to display the name of the CAT instance. The issue occurs when multiple faceplates are open simultaneously, making it challenging to identify which asset each one is associated with. Resolution The purpose of this document is to explain how to add the CAT instance name to the faceplate title. More generally, the document explains how to access the faceplate title from C# code.

Issue Automation devices with their DTM are typically managed by EcoStruxure™ Control Expert Classic from the DTM Browser at each controller's level. In a multiple controllers system architecture, users must manage the device configuration information individually from each of its *.STU file. Resolution With Topology Manager functionality, all automation Devices (with DTMs) can be managed very easily at the Topology Manager system level.This makes the device configuration independent from *.STU file. Moving away from the traditional EcoStruxure™ Control Expert Classic using the DTM Browser of each controller's level. This article will show you how Topology Manager handles Device DTMs and their I/O profiles.

Issue Intelligent Electronic Device (IED) is a microprocessor-based device of power system equipment that can receive and sent data from and to controller of a process control system. Schneider Electric have several IED such as: Tesys T and Altistart for motor starter purpose, and Altivar process drive. Profinet is an industry technical standard for data communication between controllers and devices over Industrial Ethernet. Profinet is developed from Profibus by Profibus & Profinet International (PI). Profinet have its own redundancy system that is defined into four types: S1, S2, R1 and R2. This document is aimed to provide a report about possible methods can be deployed in order to make IED without built-in Profinet S2 capability to comply with Profinet-S2 redundancy system.
