Online & diagnostics network view
In the hardware and network editor (launched from the "Project tree" by double-clicking
"Devices & networks"), you can get an overview of the current state of your system by
clicking on the "Go online" button. It also shows the configuration information (for example,
non-configured modules). This option is also available in the topology view in similar form.
