Hello,

we bought a RevPI Core S with a Profinet IRT gateway and startet make the first tests with the devices.
We can read and write by using the "piTest" command in the shell.

Is it also possible to set values in PiCtory?
There is a HTML input vield in the column "value" where the value can be put in, but after pressing ENTER the value is not send or stored?
Is this correct?

No, unfortunately this is not possible via the web interface.

You could install the RevPi Commander on a computer and connect to the RevPi. There is then "PLC watch mode" where all IOs can be switched.

OK thank you for the information.

I was just wondering, because it is possible to type values into the HTML input field.
It would be better if the HTML input field would be "disabled" oder "readonly".

So i will use "piTest" to change the values for tests.

The values that can be set in PiCtory are the default values to which the outputs should be set at system startup or after resetting the driver.
