Browse devices with commands

FactoryTalk Linx
browse cycle scans addresses and determines the present devices. During each browse cycle,
FactoryTalk Linx
compares the list of devices present in its configuration for that network (discovered during a previous browse cycle or manually added to the network) against what was discovered. If a device is present in the configuration but not found during the browse cycle, it is removed from the display. Thus, when browsing a network, the display shows the set of devices discovered during the most recent browse cycle. The final operation results can be checked in the
Log
file stored in the Windows Temp folder.
